Due Monday: "Good Country People" by Flannery O'Connor.
Focus Topic: Characters sometimes go to unusual ends to create a sense of identity for themselves. Consider the various ways that Hulga seeks to define herself and create her self-identity.
Due Wednesday: You may also want to get a head start reading the "Metamorphosis" for Wednesday, since this is a LONG story. (In fact, it's a novella--a little novel!)
Focus Topic: Often, the environment a character experiences has a significant impact on their sense of the world or even their own identity. Find instances in which Gregor's identity is influenced by his reactions to the changing environment around him and consider what this reveals about his character's development.
Both of these stories are in your red anthology.
