In this episode of Dr. Daniel's Scholars, Elle discusses a literary device known as magical realism, focusing on its application in Jason Reynold's book "Long Way Down". He emphasises the importance of questioning reality and perceptions and urges listeners to maintain an inquisitive approach when reading, referencing a slide deck on the topic to clarify concepts. The discussion continues with a challenging target of reading at least 20 pages per day and also encourages complicated reflections written in journal entries. These activities, along with workbook exercises, form a core part of the exploration, aimed at provoking deeper thought and forming stronger connections with the text. The podcast ends with a call to action for listeners to be proactive in the analysis and comprehension of the literature and expresses eagerness to hear their scholarly insights.
