In my opinion a close reading is a combination of an analysis and my own feelings and opinions on a text. A close reading helps me understand a deeper meaning or message that may be hidden in the text. The purpose of a close reading is for me to expand my comprehension after reading, watching, or listening to text.
During the current process of Inquiry 1 I realize that close readings are helping me improve my writing from tips through the close readings of my peer's papers. I have learned that most of my writing is very dull and has a "dictionary" feel when reading it. This journal would be a great example of that.
