Read the following stories for 12/2-12/3:
"Araby" by James Joyce (65-69)
"A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (362-366)
Focus Topic:
Stories often focus on characters' reactions as they encounter something that is new and or unexplained to them. What are some instances in these stories where characters interact with something new and/or something they do not understand, and how do these interactions illuminate the overall meaning of the story?
NOTE: Your complete set of short story notes is due on Monday, 12/8(A) or Tuesday 12/9 (B). You will be turning in notes that address the focus topics posted online as well as any comments/additional information you added during class discussions. Many of you will need to expand your notes based on what I saw during the first checkpoint. Make sure notes on each story are clearly labeled and can be handed in. You should have notes for the following EIGHT stories:
Yellow Wallpaper
Young Goodman Brown
A Rose for Emily
The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber
Good Country People
Metamorphosis
Araby
A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings
