About
Every story has layers — beyond the characters and plot are deeper messages about life, society, and human nature. In this session, we’ll explore how authors use symbols (like light, colors, or nature) to express themes such as identity, freedom, and morality.
We’ll practice close reading techniques to identify these patterns, discuss what they represent, and connect them to the story’s larger meaning. Whether you love reading or want to strengthen your literary analysis skills for class, this session will help you see stories in a whole new way ✨

In this session we will explore the themes, symbols, and analyze a short story called, "MISS BRILL (1920),"
By Katherine Mansfield. The last 30 minutes of this session will be opened so you can share any essays you want me to look over or any writing/ grammatical skills that you may need help understanding. 📖😊
