Interpretation of a Text

Dear sophomores!
Here is useful information about the Interpretation of a Text


1. Speak of the author in brief.
- the facts of his/her biography relevant for his/her creative activities
- the epoch (social and historical background)
- the literary trend he/she belongs to
- the main literary pieces (works)
2. Give a summary of the extract (story) under consideration (the gist, the content of the story in a nutshell).
3. State the problem raised (tackled) by the author.
4. Formulate the main idea conveyed by the author (the main line of the thought, the author's message).
5. Give a general definition of the text under study.
- a 3rd person narrative
- a 1st person narrative
- narration interlaced with descriptive passages and dialogues of the personages
- narration broken by digressions (philosophical, psychological, lyrical, etc.)
- an account of events interwoven with a humorous (ironical, satirical) portrayal of society, or the personage, etc.
