No Such Thing as A Life Better Than Yours
In this assignment we were asked to pick 10-15 lines out of a short story and do a close reading of it. We were to analyze the implications of something that we have discovered through this close reading, explicating important meanings that might be missed st first glance.
My goal with this assignment was not to simply summarize my lines but to dig deeper into the meaning of just the excerpt I chose. One of the challenges I had with this assignment was connecting my analysis only to the lines I chose. Throughout my process of writing I found myself referring to parts of the story that weren’t even related to my excerpt. This assignment really challenged me to take a piece of writing for exactly what it is and analyze it for exactly what it was, nothing extra.
My first draft was pretty good however I had a few minor mistakes I had to fix. I fixed my citations, rambling, and a lot of grammar mistakes. The draft and final are attached below.
