Overview
Why does Mrs. Wright kill John Wright? Why are Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters important? Will the men figure out what happened? Why is the contrast between the men and the women important? You'll notice in the list of characters at the beginning that the men have first names and that the women don't. Is justice served? Why does this story have a different kind of ending from "The Revolt of Mother"? How many murders are there? Does Mr. Wright kill Minnie Foster (now Mrs. Wright)? Mrs. Hale says (p692), "she was kind of like a bird herself" Are legal and moral the same thing? Mrs. Hale says, "Oh, I wish I'd come over here once in a while! That was a crime!" (p690) What is she talking about?
You don't have to deal with every one of these suggestions. They're points to think about.
here is the instructions as usual:
For each of the stories , I've listed some topics for you to write a paragraph about. You may write on a topic I've listed, or you may choose to write on something else. It's up to you; it doesn't matter to me which you do.
IMPORTANT: Your paragraph must be at least 10 lines long. It can be longer, but it must be at least 10 lines.
You must make an honest effort to give a good answer which shows some thought. If all you do is summarize the story or state generalities, you will get no credit for your paragraph. You need details.
In addition to your original posting, you need to do one response to another posting. It must be at least 5 lines long. You can't just say "I agree" or "That's a good idea." You must have some substance.
I've put the discussion dates on the discussion page right after the discussion question. Please take the dates seriously.
