Universal Connections

Below are some ways you can make connections while reading:

· Text-to-Text – Does the material you are reading remind you of anything else you have read?

· Text-to-Self – Does the material remind you of anything that you have ever experienced in your life?

· Text-to-World – Does what you are reading remind you anything that you have heard of someone else in the world experiencing?

Universal Connection:

By comparing the character with another character from literature or movie. Compare the character with another person in your life. Do you know someone who is similar to the character?

Is the character a prototype or archetype? Does the character represent some larger than life values/ethics? Is the character symbolic of any morals? Does the character stand for some principles?
