Analyze the following passage.
Remember the steps for commentary (or how to analyze) –
Explain the passage in your own words, summarize or interpret what is going on, providing context.
Pick-it-apart and look at smaller parts of the passage, writing down what readers can infer, or what the author implies.
Connect it back to a larger idea, or loop-back to a theme (importance).
“You don’t have to sit up there by yourself. You know what that bench means now, and you can leave it any time you choose. All you’ve got to do is stand up and walk away from it” (60).
