How to Read My Story
My experience. My approach
Read the story twice.
1.
Armchair- relaxed, cup of tea
-reading for basic elements of the story: setting, major characters,
milieu (overall situation)
-read for plot- plotline
Plotline: Exposition, Rising action, Climax, Falling action, Denouement
-basic understanding
2.
Desk- deeper reading – making notes, look for deeper
ideas- conflicts – person vs ?
- nice passages, beautiful writing
- symbols, similes, metaphors
- repeated phrases, repeated words
-irony
ADVICE: Defend time to read the story in one sitting without
distractions. Turn off the phone. The phone is the enemy of your concentration.
defend time – set aside a piece of time to read, focus on
one task
“Penny in the Dust” Notes
Exposition
-setting
time- penny
was valauble, used a wagon, cars (from 20-40s)
place- field,
rural -father working, animals, “brush”, “sun-stil fields”(p1)
-major characters- boy
-
father
- personality traits son -
- personality traits father – quiet, shy, “inarticulate”
minor characters – mother
-
sister (very minor)
Rising action –
*son’s description of father (last para p1) – having trouble
dscribing his father to us – complex man- “still waters run deep”
throught the narrator’s struggle to explian his father to
us, we come to understand how complex and deep the father is
‘reeling off’- talking quickly and freely
* “an articulate man a little at sea with an imaginative
child”
-narrator looking back on his childhood/father with the understanding of an adult
page 2 “There’s no way you can tell it....” WHOLE PARAGRAPH-
fundamental to the story
P1&2 establish the story- setting, characters, conflict
***penny – catalyst of the conflict
Nice writing “time of magic suspension...” (p2)
- lost in his own world
- in a state of flow (modern phrase)
suspense – different meaning
simile- “like a kitten curled up on my shoulder”
peaceful, magical, quiet, relaxed, timeless, content
the penny was his whole world for those few minutes
Rising action “What made you come up here and hide?” (p3)
upset, distraught, emotional
safe space,
Climax “I had to tell him the truth...”
- fantasy about the car, spending time together “laughin’
and talkin’”
Denouement “Yesterday I knew”
