This study contains steps that enable readers and researchers to read and interpret literary texts and films and interpret the implicit meanings behind lines and scenes. These steps are in the form of questions and answers with examples. These questions will enable the reader to apply cultural studies to literary texts, even if the reader's analytical levels are modest. This content begins with a chapter on using cultural studies and deciphering the codes in literary texts and films in a simplified manner. This study included work on the application of a wide range of terms related to cultural studies, such as the growth of identities, sexist beliefs, coding, decoding, mass culture theory, dominant, negotiated, oppositional reading, agency, indoctrinated, working-class immobility, capitalist ideologies, connotations, modern myths, preferred ideologies, interdisciplinary, racism, and cultural encounter, cultural prejudice, disability, subculture, race, ethnicity, religion, class or gender, relative autonomy, complete autonomy Etc. The study used all of what was mentioned in the practical steps to enable the reader to project the cultural study on any literary text or film. The reader will also be able to reveal the cultural contents that formed the text. By practising these steps in this text, you will be able to analyze easily and reach a deeper meaning than the apparent meaning that the rest of the readers receive from literary texts. This study included practical chapters on reading and interpreting literary texts and films. These chapters have included: Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge (1955), Shakespeare's As You like It (1623), Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House (1879), Markus Zusak's The Book Thief (2005) and finally the movie Orphan Horse (2018), Each of these texts and film above included its analytical chapter by applying cultural studies to it. Thus, it became easy for the reader and viewer to read and interpret; fictional texts and non-fiction can be analyzed.
