Literature review

Conrad, “The Secret Sharer”;
Gilman, “The Yellow Wallpaper”
Then answer these questions:
As you read the works this week, see if you can identify the type of narration and how the author's method
influences our interpretation of the story. Remember that the type of narration is a choice. What effect does the
narration produce? How does it contribute to the overall effect of the story?
This week’s term is Point of view.
(Instruction to write a literature review):
Discuss the reading for the week:
• Refer to a specific concept, term, literary work, or part of a work from the readings for the week. Use page
numbers, line numbers, etc. for reference.
• Describe the concept or summarize the passage you are discussing.
• Comment on the idea or the passage in a meaningful way, i.e. practice literary analysis—how does the idea
open up the meaning of a text? Or how does a certain passage exhibit a specific device? Can you draw any
connections between the form of the work (its structure and use of language) and its content (what it means)?
What themes or symbolism do you see? etc.
