How do memory, symbol, and pattern affect the reading of literature? How does the recognition of patterns make it easier to read complicated literature? Discuss a time when your appreciation of a literary work was enhanced by understanding symbol or pattern. The 3 key features (memory, symbol, and pattern) is used to distinguish an experienced reader to a novice reader. Memory in reading literature involves recollection of previous work studies that might allow the reader to make connections between works. Symbol on the other hand, helps the reader to dive deep into the meanings behind it instead. Lastly, pattern helps the reader distance him/herself from the text as they engage with it to take a broader perspective of things. Recognitions of pattern gives the ability to look at things from a broader perspective and debrief the meanings behind a text or literature. My appreciation of a literary work was enhanced by the understanding of a symbol or pattern when I made a reference of a movie to an event in history that was significant which is the hardships of World War 1. |

Assume that Foster is right and “it is all political.” Use his criteria to show that one of the major works assigned to you in a previous year is political.

Apply the criteria on page 26-129 to a major character in a significant literary work. Try to choose a character that will have many matches.

OK ..the sex chapters. The key idea from this chapter is that “scenes in which sex is coded rather than explicit can work at multiple levels and sometimes be more intense that literal depictions” (149). In other words, sex is often suggested with much more art and effort than it is described, and, if the author is doing his job, it reflects and creates theme or character. Choose a novel or movie in which sex is suggested, but not described, and discuss how the relationship is suggested and how this implication affects the theme or develops characterization |
