What To Do Analyze structural elements such as chapters, parts, epigraphs, etc. Examine treatment of time such as use of flashback and/or non-linear storyline Look at who is telling the story. How does narrator’s involvement affect text? Is the text mimetic or diagetic? (to what effect?) Explore amount of stories told. Is there a “frame” and “embedded” story? Examine contrasts/parallels and weight given each part of story

What does analysis of the text’s form reveal about its meaning? Big Question What does analysis of the text’s form reveal about its meaning?
