" How to Read Literature Like a Professor"

For the past week or so my class and I have been reading a book called, " How to Read Literature Like a Professor." This week in, "How to Read Literature Like a Professor." we learned about literary geography and season. Literary geography is usually about humans inhabiting spaces, and at the same time the spaces that inhabit humans. For instance if the setting of the story was a child who lives in America in a rich neighborhood and then the setting was changed to a girl who lived in Africa in a poor neighborhood the child would act differently because the setting of the story changes the actions of the character in the story. Literary season is mainly about how certain seasons inspire certain emotions and events. For example winter=anger, hatred, and death and summer= passion and love. These are only a couple of examples but if you want to learn more about literary geography and season you should read the book, " How to Read Literature Like a Professor." By: Thomas C. Foster.
