Talk:What are some basic guidelines for approaching literature critically?

First, think of literature as something that a human wrote and how this story and idea are presented to you. Thid means that the points of writing can be addressed and the person or writer of the work of literature also comes into focus. Second, you figure out a point of discussion and think about what it is that you want to discuss and agrue your views with the text backing up what you feel and think. ~ M. Nowell
