    Thank you for your wonderful cultural literary channel. I thought close reading means to pay attention to every word of sentences. Actually close reading is method of literary analysis which focuses on specific details of passage or text in order to discern same deeper meaning in present . Close reading is ancient in religious texts as ancient works for example Pazand , genre of Middle Persian. Rise of higher criticism, evolution of textual criticism of bible in Germany in late 18 th century. Close reading emerged in 1920 s Britain of Richard and his student willam empson and poet t . S Eliot which called ( practical criticism) . Close reading focused on language and form , American new critics in 1930s and 1940s anchored in similar fashions, some of American critics such as John Crowe , Allen Tate only close reading because of alternative to audiences and language and form , could address work in complex unity .

    Vignette is piece of writing doesn’t have beginning, middle , end but rather focuses on specific moments in time and details within . It can enhance mood , develop character, describe setting, but one thing vignette doesn’t do is move along plot . Thank you for your wonderful literary educational channel.

    Thank you for wonderful literary, educational channel. As I said before I am Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American RUclips channels. I love to read and write because both are great ways to improve our English as none native speakers. Climax definition is most intense moments Within story , making turning point for protagonist as they confront. Climax can be also used as stylistic device by increasing importance of words , in pharse or sentences. For example climax of story when conflict plot is resolved.

      @@SWLF a unwritten rule in film is show don't tell. Voice overs and talking directly to the camera are both very effect storytelling tools for films and used in many great movies. But the moment a character starts talking directly the audience in film, we don't know if they're telling us the truth, or wants to controll the narrative. The most effective and unique aspects of film as a medium are: the frame, camera movement and the close up. The idea behind show don't tell is that human emotion and thoughts can be conveyed through the moving camera by simply observing a situation or a performance, as if were spying on a person sitting alone. The idea is that all those thoughts that needs to be spoken on stage, or written in a book, is possible to read in an actors face simply through their inner performance. And since we have a camera that observes them as if they were sitting alone in their own thought, the audience will be able to find more truths of the person than any words can describe. Example: the main characters mother just died, the family attending it has many opinions about it, and the main character decides not to fight back, but after the chaotic funeral the main character decides to sit by the grave alone. We observe the character for 5 whole minutes alone in a closeup, reflecting on everything that has been said and happened. Not a word has been spoken, but the actors relationship with their mother flashes beforet their eyes, all conveyed through the actors face. After the 5 minutes the actor leaves, and we sit another 2 minutes alone with the grave also. Giving the audience a moment alone with what we just experienced. No dialouge needed, no voiceover and nobody talking to us. We didn't need it, the scene spoke for itself.

      @@anoakenstaff No problem! The best approach (to our mind) is simply to continue to read complex works of fiction or poetry and try to parse out what the tone of a given narrator or character is. We mentioned Kafka in this video, and his works are terrific tests of your tone-spotting abilities, but there are many other works that spring to mind. Viet Than Nguyen's The Sympathizer is a great recent example (the narrator's attitudes towards Vietnam and the United States are incredibly complex--so much so that it is difficult to tell if he loves or hates both countries!).

      @@SWLF I kid you not…the greatest reward I can receive is to be a better writer. People like yourselves and programs willing to teach college level English classes, for free, will hopefully make my improvement possible. You will always have my gratitude!

    Thank you. I love this type of advanced studies that discuss things I have never been exposed to. My only hope is that get a chance to write a poem that includes some of these effects before my brain explodes from all the new ideas.

    Loved this so much! Big Charlie Chaplin fan, and such a great way to explain clauses. The banana as subordinating conjunction-- brilliant.

    Hello sir,i just wanted to thank you for making the video ,it was helpful but please consider making more of such videos on sonnets like williams poems, i believe its going to help students like myself in identifying the tone and sound devices used throughout the poem more since its usually sonnets that we are gradually tested on.
