Also consider how you read. Do you, for example, take notes or mark text as you read, or do you simply absorb the material on a page? I am engaged by all genre of reading from fiction to non-fiction.

Carly Boykin Dr. Walonen English 210 6 September 2014 Close Literary Reading of a Narrative When reading a narrative it is important to understand what the author is trying to say with the work. One way to get a complete idea of what the author is drawing attention to the reader can do a close reading of the work.

By looking at these parts of the story individually the reader can get a fuller idea of what the author is saying. The plot is how the story is told.
Wuthering Heights is notable for its use of multiple narrative voices intricately woven together to effectively tell a complex story that takes place over many years while reinforcing and enhancing some of the themes the novel explores. There are two main narrative voices introduced early on in the novel, those of Lockwood and Nelly but through these characters the narratives of other characters are also heard through a combination of eye witness accounts and the quoting of letters. In this way, the tertiary narratives from main characters connect together to give a more complete account of events. The multitude of perspectives also gives the reader a deeper sense of immersion with a text which has been described as ‘a story of undying elemental passion’ (da Sousa Correa, 2012, p. 351). To access the thoughts and feelings of the main actors in the novel is to vicariously experience their passions and so their narratives stand out against the more objective narratives of Lockwood and Nelly as well as offering more potential for discussion with other readers who may feel more sympathy for some characters than others.
