I'd like you to add a chart of "plot references" to your notes for each of the short stories. A "plot reference" should be a list of specific details that you would use as evidence in an open ended essay. Even though you don't know the topic ahead of time, the plot references should be significant enough to work for any given topic. Also, you may include a brief analytical statement for your reference. For example, for Araby, I might list:
- eye imagery of street
- dynamic imagery of girl=>attraction
- light imagery surrounding girl=>religion
- Romantic imagery at market; chalice, praises, litanies
- Freudian imagery of fence
- religious imagery at Bazaar; cathedral
- flirtatious dialog; foreigness, lack of Romanticism
- disillusion at end; eyes burning
Please do not rewrite your entire notes, but instead focus on 'apt and specific references' that will make it sound like you know the story in great detail when you write an essay on it. I'd get started while you have a lull in English assignments, but if you have questions about the assignment, I'll answer them on Friday. (Note, the assignment is not DUE on Friday.)
