Today's video is all about reading deeper, reading more critically and analysing books! I wasn't sure what angle exactly to take with this video--there are quite a few videos out there already that explain how to analyse books or literature, and how to read deeper, so today I wanted to cover the two areas I personally find really interesting: narratology and poetics.
I took separate courses on these topics during my post grad (the first being 'Advanced Poetics' and the second being titled just 'Narratology'); of course, I'm not in any way an expert! I have a grad dip in creative writing and did creative writing/English during my undergrad as well. I just love these topics and wanted to have a chat about them.
Analysing literature is one of my favourite things in the world (but I do also mention in this video that literature is everything--from YA fantasy to fanfic to Shakespeare).
If you'd like another video on analysis and writing craft, maybe on how I annotate books, please let me know💛

GUYS WE MADE IT TO 100k SUBS AND MY SILVER PLAY BUTTON JUST ARRIVED 😭😭 SO I'M GOING TO DO A CELEBRATORY VIDEO / Q&A. If you'd like to be a part of it, please hop over to Instagram stories: instagram.com/christyannejones ✨
A note on this video! Despite people frequently requesting writing craft videos, I've always been hesitant to post videos like this because I'm always hit by a TERRIBLE onslaught of imposter syndrome whenever I consider doing it. I'm not in any way an expert. I studied creative writing as part of my undergrad and then I did a grad dip in creative writing as well. I did want to make this video, however, because I love analysing books and I'm having a lot of fun atm getting to analyse our monthly book club picks over on Patreon.
Please let me know if you like this video, and if you want more writing craft videos, analysis videos, or even a video on how to annotate books, etc.
Take care guys. Enormous love and thank you endlessly for 100k 😭💛
¡Felicidades! Congrats :) May your channel keeps growing :)
I absolutely loved this video please keep doing videos like this and congratulations!!!
Such a useful resource tool. I read a lot of classics and am familiar with some aspects of analysis such as allegory and symbolism and rhythm. Having the other things explained was very helpful. I will be rewatching this video several times to aid in a deeper understandingly of some of the books I read. Fabulous content. More videos like this please.
Congrats Christy 🤗 and yes, I do love this type of videos I love reading and this helps at lot in understanding and exploring books, I myself want to write but I'm just so bad at it, this type of videos do help me a lot ❤️❤️❤️
Please continue creating content similar to this! Growing up I didn't have the opportunity to learn literature with a critical lens. So now I'm constantly trying to improve my reading and analysing skills. Thank you so much! 💛🌷
I’d LOVE to learn more about analyzing books. It’d be interesting if we all read a book together that has great examples of most of these themes and writing styles and, in a video, broke them down together. Almost like a book club but more in depth. I want to learn how to read between the books lines and get the most information out of them as I can. My reading right now is very surface level. I read the books as is but I have trouble recognizing the deeper meanings.
Yes on more videos like these... Nerdy types that go deeper... ❤️
I can't beleive I just found this channel! This is absolutely amazing!
Loved this video Christy. Reminded me of my college lessons where we were learning about these aspects of literature. I don't use these anymore but this video totally makes me feel that I should read more mindfully and try to understand what the author is trying to convey other than just the story.
absolutely love this video! i love the way you explained things with such detailed explanation but not boring to listen to. i hope in the future you make more of this analysis video because it's really interesting! also congratulations on getting 100k, you totally deserve it ❤
I know this video is old, but it's fantastic. I've never heard of this concept. We only annotated books in school by looking for themes. I'd love another video like this where we can see how you analyze books
You're such a pleasure to listen to. I love the book talk.
great video!
Now I feel way more prepared for my exam next tuesday, thank you :)
I myself am a postgraduate on English and Literature, and a big nerd of narratology and any device concerning narratives. I highly agree with authors such as Lacan, for instance, on how language and narratives create reality. And I find highly interesting how fun can be tracing this not only through instances of literature but also through discourses on real life! It indeed fosters critical thinking and enriches the reading experience of a piece of writing and of the world!
This video is amazing ! This is such a great idea, thank you so much Christy
Wowowow!! Please more videos like this! This was an absolute treat!! ❤️
Yes! I adore you talking more about it. I'll actually rewatch this with my pen and notebook to take notes tmr

You read my mind! I’ve been scouring CZcams for an in depth video on analyzing literature. So exciting!! 🤗
This is such an interesting video!! So well organised and explained. I would love to see more content like this 💛🌷 Also, congrats on 100k, totally deserved it! ✨
Congratulations for 100k!!
Being a German Language & Literature major it is fun to see all the stuff I learn in Uni in action here on booktube 💕
I absolutely loved this video Christy ✨ In university I have a literary studies class and we spend most of the classes analysing poems and stories identifying those tools you spoke about, and I love it so much 🥰 I can tell that once I'm done with university (a have three years still) I'm going to miss it too!!!
I simply love the feeling of decoding a passage and suddenly it all makes sense!
Please do more videos like this! It was a pleasure listening to you and it was definitely very interesting. I will be applying these to my reading. Thank you very much
Loved this, it was so cozy and informative x
So so helpful! You made theory fun, thank you 🙏🏼
I really appreciate you talking about narratology and poetics! In school, I used to love analyzing poetry, however, I have never used those skills again. Now I am getting more into analyzing the books I am reading, and I would love to see more content on this topic!
Loved this video! Please please make more videos like this one. I took loads of English lit courses during university but if I could go back I would study English literature because I love being able to look at it all through a critical lens. So watching this video was helpful and so refreshing ♡
Please do more of such videos. This was wonderful to watch.
I enjoy this topic Christy! I was studying English for my BA but I haven't been able to go back to finish it due to life changes. Its so fun to see topics like this!
Omg Christy, thank you so much for this video. I'm done with school and was considering doing an English Literature degree. It was something I always wanted to do, but was a bit confused if it was for me. This video made me realize how much joy analyzing a book brings me. Please make more videos of this sort. Hope you're keeping well!
I loved this one. Helped me so much. And is also inspiring. ❤️
loved this sm!!
I absolutely love this!
My brain quite often fogs up with things like this, but everything you said just soothed and opened my mind
This is one of my favorite videos you've made. Wow. So insightful, easy to understand, and beautifully organized. I especially liked the examples you gave. Thank you so much Christy! (Also congrats on hitting 100k!)
Just wanted to tell you that I LOVED this video 💕💕
wow this was profound! thank you so much for making this...this is going to enrich my reading even more!! ❤️👍🏻 Cheers and Congratulations on the milestone 👏
Yes! More of this! I never really understand fiction, like why some characters do stuff for the sake of plot, or that plot is more important than making it realistic or interesting. Or why there should be conflict or some kind of transformation. It's all so vague for me. So nice to hear about it in an accesible way :D
please continue to create this kind of videos :) love it
I really liked the video, it was very informative for non literature students. Thank you so much ❤️. I hope to see these kinds of videos more... So much ♥️♥️♥️
Wow!🥺❤️❤️ This video is simply incredible.
Please make one on the craft of writing as you asked.🥺🥺
please make more videos like this !!! loved this
Thank you for this. It was quite helpful. I’d love to see a whole series about literary analysis.
LOVED THIS!! THANK YOU :)
An absolute delicacy.. 😍😍 we want more of this ✌️✌️
i wish our teacher were this elegant at speaking and sending the informations.
💜Congrats on 100k subbies beauty 🥰🙌
Hi! I would love to see more of these types of videos from you 😊
I’d love this as a series. Talking about different rhetorical devices and similar things in a video in more depth maybe with some books as examples.😍😊
I low-key thought you were going to announce your new Skillshare course at the end 👀 Such an interesting and well-made video!! 🤩📚 would love to see more in the future!
congrats on 100k!!!
Brilliantly comprehensive and organised video. As a Literature grad student, I was also geeking out! 😂😎 I’d love to see more videos on writing craft. Could you also talk about your postgrad degree in creative writing and your topics/experiences with that? 🌸
Congrats on 100k!
My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing! I’m so surprised and thrilled to have found this video.
This was wonderful. I would love to see more videos like this :)
Yes please give us more!!
Yes pls continue making videos on this topic Thus is a very lovely topic and I love it too... So pls continue creating a video on the writing craft....
I could listen to you talk about this subject forever 👌
Every single word is correct. Amazing girl!
Loved this video. Please do make more videos on the writing craft.
This is great--nicely done.
love this!
this was superb !! yes more of this please :))) thank youu
I enjoyed your explanations and I hope you'll make more videos like this.
very interesting. I would def watch more videos like this!
This is so very appreciated!!
love this! thanks so much for sharing
I lovedd this, i hope you make it into series of some sort. 😊❤
yeayy what an interesting topic!!
I love this! I enjoy watching a lot of deeper literary analysis on CZcams. You could have gone on for much longer and I wouldn't have minded at all. :)
I am exactly like you, trying to keep my videos short and never able to do that! :) I always have so many things to say ha,ha! I was actually thinking yesterday to read small parts of a book in my videos in order to highlight certain ideas from those writers. I found something fascinating in a Marlow's book and I will try to read that in a future video as I think the points his making are extremely relevant.
Loved this video ! Would love more educational videos, maybe some where you analyse a specific book ? Like many I'm so frustrated I couldn't study litterature in college so I'll take anything I can :)
This is so interesting! I also count this as revision for my high school English exams! 😅
It is really interesting that literary theory is important in the study of creative writing. I would love to learn more
Yes, more please!
busting out a notepad this is absolute gold
Oh I really enjoyed this video Christy, but I guess I am also a nerd for this type of content 😊
i just got SO EXCITED to see root on the shelf behind you!!!
@Christie Anne Jones, I just discovered your video and listened while doing the dishes. Sorry about that detail. Anyway I love it, your explaining al these wonderful things so well. I will definitely look again later today and take some notes. I would love to learn more about reading more deeply. If you have some recommendations for study books or other videos I would love to hear them. I LOVE books and reading but I 've never learned about reading more deeply in school. Thank you for your time and valuable information 💜
I Was graduated from the department of english language and literature and your video reminds me some of my classes. :)
I’m a bit late to the party, but I really enjoyed this video. I also love to nerd out on literary topics and elements.
Amazing video 😍
Please make more of these! It was great ☺️ also, I’ve always just wondered... when authors sit down to write do they think stuff like “oh I’ll put an iambic pentameter here” and a simile here”? Or do they just write what they want and other people analyze? 🤔
this was really interesting, thank you
This was soooooooo informative...pls do make content like this
So good!
