Close Reading

Select a passage you like (no more than 5 lines in length) and do a close reading (like what we did in class on Thursday) of that passage. There should be no repeat passages among the class. Everyone needs to select a different set of 5 lines. The idea here is to work collaboratively to do a close reading of a variety of lines throughout Act II so that we can gain deeper insight into the entire act through each other's work. Pick lines that intrigue you, puzzle you, delight you, whatever. You should explain the meaning of words and images and then offer an overall analysis of the lines. Again, just as we did together in class on Thursday.
