- Reread afternoon, a story from the beginning
- Pick any series of four linked story “spaces”
- Keep track of the words that take you from one lexia to the next. What is their “texture” and what is their relationship to the title and text of the lexia they yield to?
- Analyze the lexia themselves: who is speaking, what is the context, what is the theme of the lexia? How does these lexia relate to each other and to the greater meaning of afternoon?
