How to Analyze Literature- 3/25/15

3 important things I learned:

  • The use of ¨pace¨ that the authors use to either slow down a reader or to speed up the reader while reading from a use of syntax, diction or dialogue. 
  • Many tips for reading a poem during the AP Lit exam such as quickly getting to know the narrator, noticing the sound pattern of the poem like the terms being used or the rhyming, and the imagery within the words and phrases in the poem.
  • From the section of Glossary of Literary, I learned new terms that I was unaware of such as anaphora, aphorism, assonance, caesura, couplet, elegy, jargon, panegyric, solilquy. 


2 questions I still have:

  • How can I quickly develop a really good thesis statement in such little time? Any tips?
  • Since there are many words in the AP Lit short stories that I always get stuck on because I don't know, are there any ways for me to get by this problem?


1 skill:

  • I think I'm pretty good with identifying the narration and point of view of stories.
