We’re going to move on now to start looking at narrative prose fiction. We’ll kick off this new episode by talking about characters and “characterization” – – a pretty universal feature of narrative. For Thursday, read this summary of characterization. For Tuesday, September 19, read the short story, “Two Gallants,” from James Joyce’s Dubliners.
Also, I’ve posted info for our first formal assignment – – the “Mystery Text Assignment.” It’s due on Tuesday, September 26. Take a look at it and bring any questions etc. to class this Tuesday.
