This week we discussed character and setting as two major elements of literary fiction. For this journal entry, choose a story we have discussed in class and compare one of the story's characters to the story's setting. How are they alike? Different? Does one highlight certain aspects or characteristics of the other? Here are some possible choices: Miss Emily in "The Rose for Emily," Sammy in "A&P," or Calixta in "The Storm." However, you can choose any character from any story we have discussed in class.
Keep in mind that your first essay will cover short stories so you may want to start developing some ideas in this and all your journal entries. The more you have thought about and explored your topic in writing, the more successful you will be.
