Today's video is all about reading deeper, reading more critically and analysing books! I wasn't sure what angle exactly to take with this video--there are quite a few videos out there already that explain how to analyse books or literature, and how to read deeper, so today I wanted to cover the two areas I personally find really interesting: narratology and poetics.
I took separate courses on these topics during my post grad (the first being 'Advanced Poetics' and the second being titled just 'Narratology'); of course, I'm not in any way an expert! I have a grad dip in creative writing and did creative writing/English during my undergrad as well. I just love these topics and wanted to have a chat about them.
Analysing literature is one of my favourite things in the world (but I do also mention in this video that literature is everything--from YA fantasy to fanfic to Shakespeare).
If you'd like another video on analysis and writing craft, maybe on how I annotate books, please let me know💛

GUYS WE MADE IT TO 100k SUBS AND MY SILVER PLAY BUTTON JUST ARRIVED 😭😭 SO I'M GOING TO DO A CELEBRATORY VIDEO / Q&A. If you'd like to be a part of it, please hop over to Instagram stories: instagram.com/christyannejones ✨ A note on this video! Despite people frequently requesting writing craft videos, I've always been hesitant to post videos like this because I'm always hit by a TERRIBLE onslaught of imposter syndrome whenever I consider doing it. I'm not in any way an expert. I studied creative writing as part of my undergrad and then I did a grad dip in creative writing as well. I did want to make this video, however, because I love analysing books and I'm having a lot of fun atm getting to analyse our monthly book club picks over on Patreon. Please let me know if you like this video, and if you want more writing craft videos, analysis videos, or even a video on how to annotate books, etc. Take care guys. Enormous love and thank you endlessly for 100k 😭💛

I absolutely loved this video please keep doing videos like this and congratulations!!!

@hayleyc5594 3 года назад

Such a useful resource tool. I read a lot of classics and am familiar with some aspects of analysis such as allegory and symbolism and rhythm. Having the other things explained was very helpful. I will be rewatching this video several times to aid in a deeper understandingly of some of the books I read. Fabulous content. More videos like this please.

@nandini6302 3 года назад

Congrats Christy 🤗 and yes, I do love this type of videos I love reading and this helps at lot in understanding and exploring books, I myself want to write but I'm just so bad at it, this type of videos do help me a lot ❤️❤️❤️

@work-in-progress 3 года назад

Please continue creating content similar to this! Growing up I didn't have the opportunity to learn literature with a critical lens. So now I'm constantly trying to improve my reading and analysing skills. Thank you so much! 💛🌷

I’d LOVE to learn more about analyzing books. It’d be interesting if we all read a book together that has great examples of most of these themes and writing styles and, in a video, broke them down together. Almost like a book club but more in depth. I want to learn how to read between the books lines and get the most information out of them as I can. My reading right now is very surface level. I read the books as is but I have trouble recognizing the deeper meanings.

@haanimely981 3 года назад

Yes on more videos like these... Nerdy types that go deeper... ❤️

@rachithabayar4997 3 года назад

I can't beleive I just found this channel! This is absolutely amazing!

@Books_Simplified 3 года назад

Loved this video Christy. Reminded me of my college lessons where we were learning about these aspects of literature. I don't use these anymore but this video totally makes me feel that I should read more mindfully and try to understand what the author is trying to convey other than just the story.

@landritabertyiski 3 года назад

absolutely love this video! i love the way you explained things with such detailed explanation but not boring to listen to. i hope in the future you make more of this analysis video because it's really interesting! also congratulations on getting 100k, you totally deserve it ❤

@ScullyPopASMR 3 года назад

You're such a pleasure to listen to. I love the book talk.

@SWINDISA Год назад

I know this video is old, but it's fantastic. I've never heard of this concept. We only annotated books in school by looking for themes. I'd love another video like this where we can see how you analyze books

@96Dreamdancer 2 года назад

great video! Now I feel way more prepared for my exam next tuesday, thank you :)

@cristinaheri1333 3 года назад

I myself am a postgraduate on English and Literature, and a big nerd of narratology and any device concerning narratives. I highly agree with authors such as Lacan, for instance, on how language and narratives create reality. And I find highly interesting how fun can be tracing this not only through instances of literature but also through discourses on real life! It indeed fosters critical thinking and enriches the reading experience of a piece of writing and of the world!

@radkaannam5008 Год назад

great stuff talking about narratology and aspects to notice to enjoy reading deeper. Please, do more such videos!

@shaymaeel-jaouahiry6278 3 года назад

@marianamenegati3738 3 года назад

I absolutely loved this video Christy ✨ In university I have a literary studies class and we spend most of the classes analysing poems and stories identifying those tools you spoke about, and I love it so much 🥰 I can tell that once I'm done with university (a have three years still) I'm going to miss it too!!! I simply love the feeling of decoding a passage and suddenly it all makes sense!

Hope you're keeping well!

@sarabenyoussef1197 3 года назад

An absolute delicacy.. 😍😍 we want more of this ✌️✌️

@saram5659 3 года назад

Yes! More of this! I never really understand fiction, like why some characters do stuff for the sake of plot, or that plot is more important than making it realistic or interesting. Or why there should be conflict or some kind of transformation. It's all so vague for me. So nice to hear about it in an accesible way :D

@Christie Anne Jones, I just discovered your video and listened while doing the dishes. Sorry about that detail. Anyway I love it, your explaining al these wonderful things so well. I will definitely look again later today and take some notes. I would love to learn more about reading more deeply. If you have some recommendations for study books or other videos I would love to hear them. I LOVE books and reading but I 've never learned about reading more deeply in school. Thank you for your time and valuable information 💜

@abnerdupuis7110 2 года назад

12:16 is scanned in an odd way. I would argue that this section is pretty irregular. I'd say that 'Stars,' 'eye,' and 'wink are all stressed even if they are not in the correct place for iambic pentameter. A better choice would have been, "When I do COUNT the CLOCK which TELLS the TIME," just because it's so regular and exact. Really top notch video besides!
