What does the "text to text" connection involve?

The "text to text" connection involves making connections to other works of literature. This type of connection allows readers to analyze how different texts relate to each other in terms of themes, characters, narrative techniques, and underlying messages. By comparing and contrasting various texts, readers gain deeper insights into the literary elements and may discover common motifs or differing perspectives that enrich their understanding of literature as a whole. This analytical process not only enhances comprehension but also encourages critical thinking as one evaluates how two or more texts interact with or influence each other.
