We’re discussing our final reading this week, and will also start getting ready for the final exam. As you read Sherman Alexie’s 2003 short story, “What You Pawn I Will Redeem,” use it to help you review all of the different things we’ve read and learned this semester. To do this, you can add a comment here in which you:

• choose some aspect of the story to either highlight an element of fiction we’ve discussed
• focus specifically on the style of narration (who is the narrator? is the narrator reliable? what vantage point does this particular narrator offer us as readers? etc)
• choose a moment in the text to compare and/or contrast with another reading or set of readings from this semester
• use the five-step method to highlight for us a particular passage in the story that stands out to you so we can understand it, too.
• write something else that will productively apply something else we’ve learned or discussed this semester to better understand this short story.
• write something else that wil use this story to help us understand better the things we’ve learned or discussed this semester.

Since I was late in posting this discussion, please feel free to take until Monday to complete your thoughtful addition to our discussion.
