A unique way of analyzing a literary composition is interpretation, a term not many readers are familiar with. The children and the youth often mix terms of interpretation and hearsay, however, the difference with the two termes is comprehending on a deeper level. If the reading comprehension is to be understood better, a reader needs to consider a characterization of a character. That way, a reader can connect with a character in a deeper, more meaningful way. Despite the fact that it is scientifically proven that reading is very good for us, one may ask why don't the children and the youth read then. One of the conclusions is the appearance of modern technology and its effect on society. Because of the strong effect today's technology has on the children and the youth, their ability to comprehend is rapidly decreasing. Bibliotherapist's role is to through carefully chosen books, guide an individual or a smaller group of people in a way they can identify themselves with characters and realize they are not the only ones with a specific problem. Bibliotherapy works best if a group is composed of no more than five individuals, meaning bibliotherapy would not work well in a class with students. What teachers can do is motivate students to develop empathy towards literary protagonists and openly discuss problems that could be found in a literary composition. In this masters thesis, an interpretation of Marcels Proust's Combray and Franzes Kafka's Metamorphosis can be found. Along that, individual differences in reading comprehension in the youth will be shown. The research was carried out in the Classical Gymnasium in Zagreb in two senior classes. The students from both classes were divided in three groups with each having a different assignment. A common link all three groups had were the exact same paragraphs mentioned earlier and the time of writing. The results of the suggested hypothesis were proven which was to be expected.
