Write an essay in response to one of the following prompts.


Prompt 1:

Analyze the effect of the third person narrator in Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour.” How would the story be different if told in first person?


Prompt 2:

Analyze the effect of an author’s choice of narrator in a story. Why would an author choose first person, third person limited, or third person omniscient?

[dacre raphael lethe]

In “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, the narrator reveals that Mrs. Mallard has just learned that her husband died in a train accident. Mrs. Mallard retreats to her room. The narrator then describes the scene from the window that Mrs. Mallard observes.

“She could see in the open square before her house the tops
of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The
delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a
peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song
which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.

There were patches of blue sky showing here and there
through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other
in the west facing her window.”

How does this description contrast with what you would expect of a grieving woman’s view out the window? How does this description foreshadow what may come next in the story? How does this description reveal that the narrator is privy to Mrs. Mallard’s inner thoughts and feelings?

Respond to one of the following prompts.

Prompt 1:

The pilot in Ronald Dahl’s short story “Beware of the Dog” ends up in a hospital after his plane crashes. The nurse tells him he is in Brighton, but he is not convinced. He struggles out of bed, looks out the window, and sees a sign that reads “Garde au chien.”

Use the question-synthesize-infer strategy to write a response to his discovery. What questions does this raise? What information is needed to make sense of it? What can you infer from what you know so far? Support your response with evidence from the text.


Prompt 2:

Have you ever read a good mystery? How do the investigators solve the case? They ask a lot of questions, synthesize what they know with what they learn, and make inferences based on that information. How can this same strategy help you as a reader?

My short story OVERview:

First off, the main character is named Dagon. His betrothed is named Astaroth and his brother is named Dysmas. Astaroth is cheating on Dagon with Dysmas, unknowing to Dagon. This all takes place in a solitary island called Tsugora.
Dagon and Astaroth go on a picnic across the island and over the crystal lakes. They sit on the small hills that overlook their town.
While on the picnic, Dagon finds an unknown ring that falls from Astaroth’s robes, as well as an unknown handkerchief in the picnic basket.
He asks her what these are.
She “does not” know.
They go home, and life carries on.
The next day after work, he goes to the pub for a drink before coming home and over hears his brother, who owns the pub, talking about a woman and deduces it is his betrothed.
Dagon hires someone to follow them around until he is certain they are together.
They are caught in the act but are not exposed publicly to anyone.
Dagon goes home and plots his revenge
He goes the next day to the pub and speaks to his brother and asks him to come listen to him play a new song on his piano.
Dysmas comes down to the basement and then Dagon ties him up and leaves him there until his betrothed gets home from the market. He has already prepared a meal for the two of them in the basement and convinces her to come down to the basement as well.
He ties her up and stretches them both out on the table.
Dagon cuts their hearts in half and boxes each one up in a separate box, as they bleed out til they die.
He sends one box on a ship to Antarctica on an exploration.
He sends his brother’s to Russia with a trader.
Then he takes the piano wires out of his piano and slits his wrist and throat and dies.
That is the entirety of my story.
