Coffeehouse #5–Due Wednesday, December 2

 

1–Reread the handout on Five Types of Ethics.

2–Write a 300-word Coffeehouse post for Wednesday that asks you to revise/expand this morning’s freewrite. The questions to address are:

• What is your favorite story and why?

• Who are the main characters in this story and what major decisions do they make? • What are two important scenes in which characters act or speak?

• Although we did not address this question this morning specifically, write down the types of ethics that the main characters seem to follow–this can be more than one type.

 

Select your your favorite story out of this list:

 

“The Enormous Radio” Cheever

“The Veldt” Bradbury

“Sonny’s Blues” Baldwin

“A Good Fall” Jin

“Assimilation” Doctorow

“Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” Parsons

“Interpreter of Maladies” Lahiri

 

This Coffeehouse is directly connected to the Final Essay, so the more time you can spend on this informal assignment, the more it will serve as a springboard for drafting the essay.
