In literary criticism, close reading is the careful, sustained interpretation of a brief passage of a text. A close reading emphasizes the single and the particular over the general, effected by close attention to individual words, the syntax, the order in which the sentences unfold ideas, as well as formal structures.

Why do different types of supporting materials work better in different situations. Give an example.
Alex_Xolod [135]

The type of supporting material that you employ in an essay is directly related to the claim that you make in your paper. Different claims and arguments require different levels of evidence and support. Moreover, the type of support they need will also vary. Some claims might need numerical support, while others might need the consensus of experts.

For example, imagine a historical essay that wants to prove that World War II was more deadly than World War I. This essay would most likely need statistical evidence that would come from public records. Compare this to an essay that argues that World War II had a deeper impact on culture and society than World War I. This essay will require different types of materials, such as essays written by other people supporting either position.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: Prisoners is a thinking audience's revenge film -- that is, if moviegoers (particularly parents) can stomach the subject matter. It's long, disturbing, and nerve-wracking to watch, but the performances, the imagery, and the fabulous cinematography (courtesy of 10-time Oscar nominee Roger Deakins) make it worth sitting through all of the angst
