Class Activity: Parallelism quizFamily Activity: Switch around your letters (Informal Writing #8). Underline at least three pieces of evidence in the letter that back specific claims made by the author. If the evidence does a solid job of supporting the claim, put a smiley face next to it. If the claim is unspecific or weak, or if the evidence is from a non-credible source, put a sad face on your partner's paper. Revisions will be turned in to Adrienne for credit on Wednesday. Editors, please put your name on your partner's papers.
WRITE: Gather Darkness & Miracle at Parque Chas are very different stories, yet the seem to me to be united under a single theme: hope. The stories are different in tone and style. In fact, they are different in almost every way; however, to me, they both say something different about hope. They provide a contrasting view of hopefulness, and the ways humans interface with the emotion. I want you to write about how hope is illustrated in the stories. If you are in doubt, look specifically to the characters of each. USE SPECIFIC REFERENCES to the stories. This paper will ultimately be Informal Writing #9, but this, for now this should just be a DRAFT.
READ: Read "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor. Annotate the story. I am interested in your analysis of how O'Connor uses specific devices and concepts. If you're stuck, specifically consider terms of character development.
