Reading Tips for Greater Understanding… • Keep track of dates and how the story progresses. • Keep track of who is speaking. This will help you keep your reading organized. • Keep track of whether or not the story is flashback mode or not. • It is not necessary to understand all of Joseph’s dialogue, but you need to keep in mind his characterization and the meaning behind what he says. • Take notes and bring questions to class discussion.
