>read story
>can't say or write anything interesting about it

what the fuck is wrong with me
>>
>>25278289
you just gotta read more ss until you can I guess. Try reading some literary criticism too
>>
Think about it for a while
The insight has to bubble up from your unconscious to your conscious mind
>>
>>25278289
>anything interesting
because you're making an evaluation before you do it and/or damning it the moment you do
you're not going to impart the same feelings the story made you feel, you're probably not even going to be on the same caliber of it
why should that stop you from your own expression?
>>
>>25278289
Start with basic shit. No need to write an essay off the cuff.

>Did you like the story?
>What parts/characters/bits of prose did you like?
>Why did some characters act a certain way?
>Is the author trying to convey a message or moral?
Eventually broad questions become specific and answers become insight. You'll be aight.

>>25278289
stop trying to be interesting and write what you think about it
>>
>>25278289
We are low iq retards anon,no amount of reading or writing would fix that.
>>
How do I learn literary theory and how to intelligently discuss literature and get the most from it
