Blog Four: Close Reading Narrative Structure

This blog asks you to combine two skills we've been practicing: close-reading and narrative identification. Select a passage from If He Hollers Let Him Go that illustrates some part of Aristotle's building blocks of narrative. In your close-reading of the passage, reflect on the meaning and content of the words you choose to quote. As you paraphrase and then offer an explanation of the meaning of those words, link your explanation to the point of the plot that fits into Aristotelian narrative. In that interaction of close-reading and narrative moment, create meaning out from the passage from your reader.

Of course cite according to MLA.

    First of all, i believed you orally undestood what professor asked to do in this blog, but the explanation that you posted, seems little be unclear to me. After reading the blog i really did not undestand some points. It is very important to rivise what you write before posting on the blog, so you can rephrase and make some corrections, It usually happens to me too.however the idea is undestood.
