To get the most out of any reading, whether it is a relaxing novel, a textbook, or a report from your employer, you must be able to read it carefully and comprehend it fully. This is called close reading. For this assignment, you will choose one passage from a piece of literature, just a couple of paragraphs, and do a close reading of it to increase your understanding and hone your abilities to get the most out of anything you read. <\/p>\n<p>Instructions: Read Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost. Choose a section where the writer makes the experience meaningful, striking, or revealing. Examine this section for evidence of revealing a depth that reaches beyond the poem. In 2-3 pages, address the following prompts\/questions: <br \/>Name three literary tools used in this piece and briefly describe how they are used. Examples are theme, tone, mood, symbolism, foreshadowing, irony, imagery. <br \/>What does Frost tell us about the character at this moment? What does he leave out? <br \/>How does the character communicate (through words, gestures, or other means,) and what does he\/she say? <br \/>How does the writer convey the character\u2019s identity and culture? What symbols are used to communicate gender, race, class, occupation, and\/or other identity categories? <br \/>How does this passage relate to the human experience overall? How do you relate as a reader? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading is both a pleasurable pastime and an academic skill.
