For Thursday, let’s talk about Louise Erdrich’s short story, “The Leap.” (This can be found in our handy, dandy online textbook.)
For our next reflection essay, I’m going to adopt a suggestion from one of your fellow students. The rules are these: select two stories from your Reading Room adventures; choose one of our “formal” categories – – plot, character, or setting. Compare and contrast each of your chosen story’s use of this category. As usual, no more than two pages (appended to your reading journal). This reflection will be due: Thursday, November 4, at midnight. (I am, of course, willing to be flexible about this date so long as we all agree on a common date. To be discussed in class tomorrow.)
