Analyzing literature, sounds difficult, right? Actually, you have experienced this already, when you read and ask yourself, what does this word mean to me? What is the writer trying to tell me? Why do I have to understand what he/she is writing?
Literature is defined as any kind of printed material on any subject – whether it may be a newspaper, a (text) book, a letter, a song, stories, etc.
In this module, we will learn literary analysis (analyzing literature) as a means to unlock the lesson of the story being told. We will study specifically about a familiar story in the Bible which is not fully appreciated for its message.
As the pandemic continues to challenge our efforts of surviving, education must continue. As self-learning program is directed in our new way of learning, one must have analytical skills for this learning module to achieve its goals. This resource material will enable learners to achieve the skill by analyzing literature as a means of understanding unchanging values in a changing world.
