Next Monday…

For next Monday, do not forget we made some minor changes in the sequence of texts in the schedule. Then, we will be analising “Six Feet of the Country” (by N Gordimer) on Mr. R Piñero’s request. Besides, you are expected to hand in a piece of homework:
In one page, state clearly what makes “The Other Garden” (by Doris Lessing) an unusual story. You can attempt to answer a few questions which somehow would complement the goal above.
- How does the story exemplify a modern short story?
- What possible message can we find as we read between the lines?
- Which features are manipulated to guarantee the reader’s participation?
- Which feature would you point to in order to support the affirmation that the “story stands out as a move towards a new concept of story”?
