Question

When preparing to write a critical analysis discussing the protagonist in a short story, the course content suggests that it is not necessary to do a thorough annotated reading because the writer/critic's perception of the protagonist may change with too many re-readings and too much annotation.

Answer 1

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

An annotated reading, also known as close reading, is essential to prepare a critical analysis of a character or a short story. This is because this type of reading allows a detailed visualization of the work, stimulating understanding and facilitating the analysis of the reader. In this type of reading, the reader is able to underline keywords and write down perceptions that could be very useful for criticism.
