This guide focuses on literature to entertain and literature to understand one's self. Designed primarily for independent use by students, several of the literary selections in each section of the guide are followed by the same sequence of questions so that students can develop a pattern for questioning themselves. The first section, on literature to entertain, contains the following subsections: an introductory questionnaire, suggested readings, folktales, major projects, poetry to entertain, and drawing conclusions about literature to entertain. The second section, on literature to understand one's self, includes 11 subsets: introductory questionnaire, suggested readings, reading fiction to understand one's self, finding informational material to understand one's self, developing a habit or hobby of strengthening vocabulary, reading expository material for study purposes, questioning to encourage critical and creative reading, saving time in taking notes from reading, reading fact and fiction to understand one's self, major projects, and drawing conclusions about literature to understand one's self.
