Fiction: Doing a Close Reading: Tutorial
DEL
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.
