Dr Strauss went to see Charlie when he didn’t show up for his appointment. Charlie explained how he did not want to race Algernon anymore because he knew the mouse would beat him, like he did every time. Dr Strauss wants to help Charlie become smarter and he gives him a gift to hopefully help him. Charlie had his doubts on whether it would work or not, because he didn’t feel any smarter, or look any smarter. Little did Charlie know, was he was getting smarted everyday.
This is a subjective question, so there are certainly no "right" answers. Here are some close-examination strategies:
- Read the text through quickly, and then re-read more slowly until you feel that you understand what the text's purpose is and how each sentence contributes to a greater understanding.
- Highlight key words or phrases that show what the text's theme/topic/focus is.
- Examine the way information is presented. Is it scholarly, humorous, uncertain, etc?
- Is the text part of a larger work? If so, why is this excerpt significant? If not, then why is it meaningful standing alone?
- Research the author/person who created the text. Find out what drove them to write it or what they were trying to do.
- Is there a specific audience that the text is intended for? This relates to prior questions, but you could go deeper as well and look at how the text makes you feel, or whether you have learned a new way of thinking about something.
You can learn a lot by examining a text from different perspectives, including the typical characteristics of-- who, what, when, where, why, how?
