Today, I handed out the story "Gezabel Jessie" for you to read in praparation for your in-class essay on Monday. In preparation for the exam, you should be sure that you know two of the stories really well. Make sure that you can do the following:
You will be writing an in-class essay on Monday. In order to prepare for this exam, you will need to review the short stories we have read.
1. What are the short stories we have read (and the names of the author)
2. Write out a three sentence summary for two of the short stories (pick the two you liked the most… or disliked the least…).
3. For many of the characters, you have identified personality characteristics using evidence to prove your choice of traits. You need to know these. Go over the list of terms again and think of antonyms for each one.
4. What goals do the characters have (main character and others)?
5. What conflicts are there in these stories?
6. For each one, is the conflict resolved for the main character? For others? Explain.
7. What is the theme of these stories (what does the protagonist discover about life)?
If you choose not to do these questions, you will have a more difficult time writing the essay. Even though it is not being taken in for marks, it is imperative that you prepare yourself.
