Activity When reading fiction, you're probably focused on finding out what happens in the story and how it ends. When you read a work of fiction for a
literature class, however, you need to go beyond the first surface reading. What is your approach to reading literature for a class? Have you tried a
close reading of a fictional text? We haven't really discussed an approach to close reading yet, so think about what you do now. What reading
techniques do you use when you try to go beyond the surface story to really understand the layers of meaning in a work of fiction? Write your
response in two to three paragraphs.
