I think of close reading as taking apart a reading piece by piece to analyze its possible meaning(s). It involves looking at plot, characters, background story, and other details to come up with symbols and meanings that may arise from deeper consideration. Its purpose is to discover an idea or moral that the author intended to portray through their writing, and possibly apply it to the way we think in our own lives, or even just the way we view the story. In doing close reading for this particular Inquiry, I’m learning how to take a stand on and clearly express my views on roles and relationships of men and women.
