This week, as you delve into the layered promises of chapter 1 of the novel, I invite you to use this bonus reading & writing exercise to help you take your closely reading practice to the next level.
Be forewarned: this may feel downright tedious. You may wonder: why would anyone pay this much attention!? Surely it can’t be that serious.

For today’s activity, I recommend setting aside at least 45 minutes.
