How to annotate literature + Inviting you to A Classic Bookclub! - aclassicread

Paying attention to literary elements such as characters, narration, plot and theme will not only help you understand literature much better, it will also make it much more enjoyable! That is why I filmed this guide on how to annotate literature.
In this video, we will talk about plot, characters, narration, setting, style and theme, see also the timestamps below. You can also practice your annotation skills by joining A Classic Bookclub where we will jointly read and annotate Alice’s adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. We will start on May 5th, so you have some time to get a copy of this classic. We will talk together via discord, and you can join A Classic Bookclub here: discord.gg/tgxyN5W
