Please read Jamaica Kincaid’s short story, “Girl.” Here is the link:
Kincaid, Jamaica. “Girl”
On Wednesday, we will be finishing up our discussion of Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” and beginning our discussion of “Girl.” Below are a few additional discussion questions that we might talk about in relation to the Chopin. There is not, however, a written assignment due for our next class.
1. What textual clues exist to suggest that Mrs. Mallard is confined? Please specify which relate to setting, character, figurative language, plot, etc.
2. Looking at Chopin’s/the narrator’s use of figurative language, what do you notice about it?
3. What do you notice about the tone and style of the story?
4. What is the dramatic structure of the story?
Professor, is there any way of sending private messages through here? I wrote you an email asking you about my assignments on Blackboard and I am trying to reach you through here as well. Can members of the OpenLab be added as ‘friends’?
