Other questions may remain about a short story
even after several readings. Reading and re-reading a short story
by itself might not yield complete answers to all questions that
arise. So it is often useful to talk over questions and answers
with other readers--students and teachers. That's what class
discussion and, in the Literature Online course, the online
discussion forums are for. Many times the answers to questions
call for judgment, reasoning, and so they should be openly
discussed to weigh the merits and demerits of such a notion.
The only objective that remains, then, is for you to decide what
this short story says to you about life--maybe even your life.
You can jot notes below or access the discussion forum directly
to answer the question. (Remember to copy and paste your response
into a word processor before turning this page since some Web
browsers delete your typing as soon as you turn the page.) If you
are satisfied with the answers you make on the practice page, you
can highlight one (drag your mouse across it with the left mouse
key held down), copy <Ctrl+c> it, and paste it
<Ctrl+v> into the corresponding "reply" box at
the actual forum site. You may also go directly to the Discussion
Forum to respond.
Assignment:
