Chapter 27 A Test Case
Ok--we're finished!!! Answer the questions on page 265. (1) What does the story signify? What is Mansfield saying in the story? What do you see as its meaning? AND (2) What does it signify? What elements does Mansfield employ to cause the story to signify whatever it signifies? What elements, in other words, cause it to mean the things you take it to mean?
Chapter 26 Is He Serious? And Other Ironies
On the last page of this chapter, Foster states that "irony doesn't work for everyone." What does he mean by that? Why doesn't it? What does he mean by multivocal and univocal?
Chapter 24 ...And Rarely Just Illness
Re-read the last paragraph carefully and then respond. Do you agree? What has been lost in modern writing--if you do agree? If you don't--why not?
Chapter 23 It's Never Just Heart Disease
This one is short--what was the short story we read in which a woman's heart disease was "heart disease"? What happened to her and why????
Chapter 22 He's Blind for a Reason, You Know
Write about a novel or short story you've read (or a movie if you have to) in which you learn something early on that seems minor but becomes very important later.
Chpater 21 Marked for Greatness
Again, choose a sentence or two from this chapter that you found interesting and comment on it. (Include the sentence and page number.) Why did it stand out? Do you agree with what he said? Why or why not?
