Reading Response Types for Frankenstein by Mary Shelley Directions: As you read, annotate and place your notes in the table, go back over your questions and comments in order to determine what interests you as you read the story. You only need to choose one category.

Your Reading Response must have

Label which type of RR category you are using
The title of the work
Author’s name
Use an original thought in your response; don’t just summarize.
Quote a sentence or phrase from the text that supports your thinking, and give the page number of the quote (Smith 1).
Write at least 8 complete sentences. (See the sample below)

Types of RRs

Make a connection: A certain point in the text reminds you of a story, poem, movie, song, or something in your life. How are the two alike? Be specific.

See the Significance: You realize a certain part in the text is important;you can spot a significant passage. Why do you think it’s important? What does it tell you about the story?

Theme Recognition : You find a sentence or two that might connect to a theme ( the message or So what?”) of the piece. Explain the theme, and explain how that portion of text relates to it.

Mind the Mood You feel the mood of the piece. What is it and what is creating it? (Something in the setting? Dialogue? Plot? Sensory details?) Remember that mood is the feeling in the text, not the author’s attitude. Your quote should show evidence of the mood. Then: Why is the author doing this?

Note the Narrator: In fiction, you realize something important about the author’s choice of narrator. What is it? Why do you think the author chose this particular narrator’s point of view? How might the text be different with a different narrator?

Cultural Value You notice that a certain event, detail, message, or character trait reveals a specific value of that culture. What is it? How do you know it’s a value? Explain and make sure your quote supports your idea.

Read this excerpt from "the light of gandhi's lamp" by hilary kromberg inglis, in which she describes driving to the police station where her sister is being detained. to avoid looking at the blackened windows at the top of the building and thinking about the history of who had died or been tortured there, i always looked instead at the little chinese restaurant on the opposite side of the road. how does this passage affect the text? it conveys, with great subtlety, the conflict she felt over having a sister who would break the law and end up in the custody of the police. it conveys, without any implied moral judgment, that those who fought against apartheid considered themselves to be soldiers in a just war. it conveys, with an extended metaphor, the idea that being detained by the police in this society was regarded as a badge of honor. it conveys, with direct language, the view held by many anti-apartheid activists that the police often acted in brutal and unlawful ways.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
