To me, a close reading is an interpretation of the text. A close reading is analyzing the text while giving a summary and one's own opinion. The purpose of a close reading is to understand what the author is trying to describe to their readers. A close reading also analyzes the text and gives support as to why one believe the reading is trying to portray a certain message.
As I engage in a close reading for Inquiry 1, I do believe I am learning about myself and writing. I am learning how to analyze a close reading as well as relating myself to the close writing to become a better writer.
