Prompts for your binary readings

From Purdue OWL:

When reading a text, consider:

• Using a specific structuralist framework...analyze the text's narrative operations...can you speculate about the relationship between the...[text]... and the culture from which the text emerged? In other words, what patterns exist within the text that make it a product of a larger culture?
• What patterns exist within the text that connect it to the larger "human" experience? In other words, can we connect patterns and elements within the text to other texts from other cultures to map similarities that tell us more about the common human experience? This is a liberal humanist move that assumes that since we are all human, we all share basic human commonalities.
• What rules or codes of interpretation must be internalized in order to "make sense" of the text?  (This is especially helpful with "The Yellow Wallpaper".)
