To best help Zack understand the meaning of "Through the Looking-Glass," paraphrasing portions of the story would be the most effective strategy. This approach allows him to actively engage with the text, ensuring that he processes and interprets the language and concepts in his own words. It can help clarify complex passages, enhance comprehension, and strengthen retention of the material.
While reading an online review, watching a movie, or asking friends might provide some insights, they can sometimes lead to interpretations that might not align with Zack’s own understanding or may oversimplify the themes and nuances of Carroll's work. Paraphrasing encourages deeper analysis and personal reflection, making it a more beneficial strategy for comprehension.
