reading critically

It is very critical to read critically. :) This is because much of the time literature is not written in a literal sense. To understand a work, many things have to be analyzed such as the theme and historical context. I think reading pieces of literature from different times is very interesting, because it reflects the feelings of people during a certain era. Reading critically seems sort of like a difficult task, but if you think about it we do it every day in normal life situations. There is always a reason behind something. In literature, sometimes it is hard to decipher what that hidden meaning is. This is why it is very important to be careful with analyzing. Although, my experience with analyzing, "The Yellow Wallpaper," has been a decent one. I like reading about women's rights literature. So, in conclusion, reading critically, although sometimes it is a burden, gets a thumbs up.
