Kate Chopin wrote that her characters often found freedom in the only ways available to them. Examine two stories in which our female protagonists find freedom in unusual, even tragic, ways. Explain and redefine your idea of freedom in these cases.
(Please refer to “Desiree’s baby” and “The story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin)
2.”A&P” employs first-person narration, and the tone of the story feels a little different than others we have read. Explain why first-person narration is most effective in this story. Why is Sammy’s perspective important? What does it accomplish in this case? What do you take away from this narrative strategy? (Please refer to “A&P” by John Updike)
3. Carol Shields’ stories often deal with how ordinary, everyday occurrences tend to reveal the extraordinary. Examine this motif in “Dressing Up.” Choose three of the vignettes to discuss in detail. What, do you think, are we to understand/take away?
You must refer to textual evidence to make your claims. You may also only refer to each story ONCE, so choose your questions wisely. Choose five questions to answer. You must CITE sources correctly and answer each question in complete and thoughtful sentences. Some questions will require more detail than others. Each short answer should be NO LESS than a WELL-DEVELOPED paragraph (in some cases you will need more than one paragraph (two or three in some cases) to complete your answer), and each MUST refer specifically to textual evidence for support of your claims. Remember to focus on in depth analysis, not summary. Each exam will be graded on how well you reason and support your answers. Be sure to clearly identify which question you choose to answer before each question.
