Literary Analysis of Mordecai Ritchler's short story "The summer my grandmother was supposed to die"
Comparison of New Criticism analysis (close reading) and contextualised reading.
Contextualised reading - what is the hero like in Canadian literature: an everyman/antihero
The importance of society/belonging to a cultural group
Conflict about identity
New Criticism - close reading - reading with pen inhand.
Students applied close reading to the introductory section of the story and we discussed how this presented the progression of the story.
