WP The Beginning of Grief and Night
Many student’s struggle with difficult novels or challenging texts. They often think that 1 reading of the work is enough. This belief, leads to primary comprehension at the surface level. But they are frequently unwilling or unable to discover deeper meanings of multi-layered works. This is often the case with the short story titled The Beginning of Grief and the novel titled Night.
