Respond to Specific Questions on a Text Read

Reading information from different sources involves two types of reading which are extensive and intensive reading.

Intensive reading Involves reading tasks, passages and information carefully with the aim of gaining knowledge from the information in the text.

Read the introduction: Many introductions contain valuable insights into the author’s life and his writing, both of which can enrich your understanding and appreciation of the work. It will often provide background knowledge on the novel.

Read carefully:This is no time for speed reading or skimming! A careful reading may seem slower, but you will ultimately save more time than if you have to reread everything. Begin reading the novel or short story as soon as it is assigned and read slowly and with attention to detail!

When you are reading a novel or short story, the main areas of focus should beform and content.

Identifying Themes

Theme

Identify theme

What exactly is this elusive thing called theme?

The theme of a fable is its moral or teaching. The theme of a piece of fiction is its view about life and how people behave.

In fiction, the theme is not intended to teach or preach. In fact, it is not presented directly at all. You extract it from the characters, action, and setting that make up the story. In other words, you must figure out the theme by yourself.

The writer’s task is to communicate on common ground with the reader. Although the particulars of your experience may be different from the details of the story, the general underlying truths behind the story may be just the connection that both you and the writer are seeking.
