Reading Critically and Interpreting Literature

Introduction:Literature comes in many forms and comments on the culture and society in which it was written. However, the tools for successfully analyzing and interpreting literature remain constant throughout genres and time periods. Careful study of the written word results in finely honed analytical tools, which cross discipline boundaries and are further useful in interpreting and understanding mathematical equations, scientific problems, and day-to-day events.This task asks you to critically read, analyze, and interpret two works of literature. You will analyze the ways in which characters in the literary works experience social struggles, whether they are based in class, race, gender, sexuality, educational level, or region.
