The first step of methodical study is Observation. Truly to observe is to be mentally aware of what one sees. Term is a given word as it is used in a given context. It has only one meaning in that context. It is the duty of the Bible student to determine that meaning in any given context.
Structure involves all of the relations and interrelations which bind terms into a literary unit.
General literary form is the type of literature used by an author. It could be discoursive and logical, prose narrative, poetry, drama and dramatic prose, parabolic or apocalyptic. Atmosphere is the underlying tone or spirit of a passage. It is the mood of a passage. Write down your observation as you make it.
