SSS - Close Reading of The Awakening Lesson
Close Reading of The Awakening
Introduction
In the last module, you were taught how to close read for satiric purpose with the opening chapter of Voltaire’s Candide. In this lesson, we will continue with close reading strategies, but we will focus upon not only satire and social change, but also the concept of sentimentality as a 19th century taste in literature.

Final Thoughts
For this module we have shifted focus from using full length works to write open-ended essays, to using close reading selections from these works to compose prose analysis essays. Remember that with both cases we have ultimately focused upon the overall thematic significance of each work.
