Participants develop their literary analysis skills, interpreting a wide range of texts, including modern and older literary works. We explore the complexities of language and how a writer crafts a text for meaning. We examine both language features and structural devices to affect how the message is delivered.  Language features might include metaphor and simile, personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, the rule of 3, and use of the senses.  Structural devices could include variations to s\u003c\/span\u003eentence structures, change of tempo, repetition or listing, change of time or shifts in focus, the narrative perspective, and uses of dialogue.  The course enables you to comment incisively on books and
