2 Mrs. Burks Name: How To Read Literature Like a Professor (Revised Edition) by Thomas C. Foster ISBN Reading Log for AP Senior English Summer Reading! Use a Composition Notebook and black or blue PEN for this assignment. Objective: Thinking thematically about literature enables you to view each piece of literature as a human experience and discover the human connections that make literature relevant, regardless of time and place. The universal theme of each piece provides the requisite glue that holds ALL AP essays together. Many students find it difficult to empathize with characters in literature. It is my hope that this reading will give you an advantage in discovering and conveying this crucial element of literary analysis. The idea of this book is not to make English professors out of everyone, but, instead, to help readers to better understand how we can find a deeper meaning in reading along with how writers create that deeper meaning. It is likely that you have not read many of the examples that are referenced; you do not need to have read them. He discusses and explains them well enough. Your Assignment: Using what you learn as you read, create a chapter-by-chapter reading log that tracks your thinking about the different archetypes addressed in the chapters. This log will A) quote a sentence or passage from the chapter that then is B) related to anything that you have ever read. You may provide more than one quotation/relevance response, but only ONE response PER chapter is required. See the example below: How to Read Lit. Like a Professor Chapter 1: The real reason for a quest is always self-knowledge (3). My Example Scout s journey in To Kill a Mockingbird. She doesn t necessarily go anywhere, but her story is a journey that leads to her discovering things about herself. She especially demonstrates this at the end when she puts on the dress. She is discovering what it means to be an adult. Expectations: Place this instruction sheet inside the front cover of your composition notebook You must handwrite it in PEN, and it should be neatly organized. Like the example above, make sure the parenthetical citation for each quotation follows MLA format. You may use one novel/play to provide the examples for more than one chapter (not to exceed 2 chapters). Try to stay within novels/plays for this. Though short stories and films will work, the majority should be novels/plays. Due the first full day of school!

7 Mrs. Burks AP English Literature and Composition AP Theme The theme of a piece of fiction is its controlling idea or its central insight. It is the unifying generalization about life stated or implied by the story. To derive the theme of a story, we must determine what its central purpose is: what view of life it supports or what insight into life it reveals. 1. Theme should be expressible in the form of a statement with a subject and predicate. It is insufficient to say that the theme of a story is motherhood or loyalty to country. Motherhood and loyalty are simply subjects. 2. The theme should be stated as a generalization or universal observation about life. In stating theme we do not use the names of the characters or refer to precise places or events, for to do so is to make a specific rather than a general statement. 3. We must be careful not to make the generalization larger than is justified by the terms of the story. Terms like every, all, and always should be used very cautiously; terms like some, sometimes, and may are often more accurate. 4. Theme is the central and unifying concept of a story. Therefore (a) it accounts for all the major details of the story. If we cannot explain the bearing of an important incident or character in the theme, either in exemplifying it or modifying it in some way, it is probable that our interpretation is partial and incomplete, that at best we have got hold only of a subtheme. Another alternative, though it must be used with caution, is that the story itself is imperfectly constructed and lacks unity. (b) The theme is not contradicted by any detail of the story. If we have to overlook or blink at or force the meaning of some significant detail in order to frame our statement, we may be sure that our statement is defective. (c) The theme cannot rely upon supposed facts facts not actually stated or clearly implied by the story. The theme exists inside, not outside the story. The statement of it must be based on the data of the story itself, not on assumptions supplied from our own experience. 5. There is no one way of stating the theme of a story. The story is not a guessing game or an acrostic that is supposed to yield some magic verbal formula that won t work if a syllable is changed. It merely presents a view of life, and, as long as the above conditions are fulfilled, that view may surely be stated in more than one way. Here, for instance, are three possible ways of stating the theme of Miss Brill : (a) A person living alone may create a protective fantasy life by dramatizing insignificant activities, but such a life can be jeopardized when she is forced to see herself as others see her. (b) Isolated elderly people, unsupported by a network of family and friends, may make a satisfying adjustment through a pleasant fantasy life, but when the cold claw of reality punctures their fantasy, the effect can be devastating. (c) Loneliness is a pitiable emotional state that may be avoided by refusing to acknowledge that one feels lonely, though such avoidance may also require one to create unrealistic fantasies about oneself. 6. We should avoid any statement that reduces the theme to some familiar saying that we have heard all our lives, such as You can t judge a book by its cover or A stitch in time saves nine. Although such a statement may express the theme accurately, too often it is simply a lazy shortcut that impoverishes the essential meaning of the story in order to save mental effort. When readers force every new experience into an old formula, they lose the chance for a fresh perception. Beware of using clichés when attempting to summarize a story s theme.
