  1. Levels of Questioning: An effective way to think actively and interpretively about your reading is to ask questions on different levels. As you read this novel, you will be expected to question it on 3 levels: • Literal Level • Interpretive Level • Universal Level

  2. 1. Literal Level You can answer questions on the literal level by looking at the text directly. Example: What kind of car does Mr. Fisher drive?

  3. 2. Interpretive Level You cannot find answers to interpretive questions directly in the text; however, textual evidence points to and supports your answers. Example: What emotions does Paul feel as he remembers the incident with the mailbox?

  4. 3. Universal Level These questions go beyond the text. They require you to think of the larger issues or ideas raised by the novel. Example: Is it possible that people who are visually impaired can see some things more clearly than people whose vision is 20/20?
