Now answer the following questions about "The Chaser":
Write a brief response to the following question: What is the story about?
There are three types of questions readers can ask of any piece of fiction:
Level one questions can be answered explicitly by facts contained in the text or by information accessible in other
resources. Here is an example: What is a "chaser"?
What are some other level one questions you might ask?
Level two questions are textually implicit, requiring analysis and interpretation of specific parts of the text. For
example: What is Alan's definition of "love"?
Give a few examples of level two questions,
Level three questions are much more open-ended and go beyond the text. They are intended to provoke a discussion
of an abstract idea or issue. For instance: Is the old man's description of Diana after the love potion that of an ideal
mate?
What are other examples of level three questions?
But asking these questions is only the first step. Next readers must draw dome inferences from the answers in order
to explain why the author has chosen to construct the text this way.
Choose one of the questions in this section, answer it, and offer a logical inference.
Now consider your response to the first question. Would you revise it? If so, write it below.
