"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."
--As You Like It (II, vii, 139-143)

specific details, author's purpose, author's tone, mood, setting, major
events of the plot, inference, narrator's point of view, character traits,
use of vocabulary, the cause and effect of events in the reading, and
comparison/contrast to other literature.
