discussion

Your initial post is due by Thursday night, February 3, 11:59 p.m. CST.  Two responses to classmates' initial posts are due by Sunday night, February 6, 11:59 p.m. CST.

For your initial post, thoroughly answer the following questions: ("The Man in the Well," "Cask of Amontillado," and "To Build a Fire")

1. Choose one of the three stories and discuss which themes you detected.  Use text from the story to prove your case.
2.  Choose one of the three stories---one you did not discuss in #1.  What are your thoughts about how the story was told?
   • Did it start too slow or end unresolved?
   • Do you wish it had been told from a different perspective?
   • Did it jump around too much or hold you in suspense?
3. Choose one of the stories you did not discuss in #1 and #2.  What parts of the story stood out to you?  Any quotes, passages, or scenes you found compelling? Any parts you thought were unique, out-of-place, disturbing, or thought-provoking?  Be sure to list specifics from the story.
