HW for English 4....due monday... feb 1st

Hey all, so you have a number of stories to read in Sudden Fiction... you will see that they all share a broad trend of being about romantic relationships.

Here are the stories to read--you should read them all.

1. The Fable (36)
2. Tent Worms  (96)
3. Dinner Time (115)
4. Popular Mechanics (68)
5. No One's a Mystery  (47)
6. Pygmalion  (33)
7. Say Yes (74)
8. The Signing (205)
9. The Sock  (177)
10. Anatomy of Desire (117)
11. Can-Can  (5)
12. Song on Royal Street  (29)
13. A Very Short Story (126)

It's probably a good idea to read them twice, esp. the ones that you may not "get" at first. Don't worry if the story seems hard to follow--do your best and we will clear up things in class.

Here are 2 questions for each story that you will be answering. You should do a short paragraph for each question. You should type this up, and bring it next Monday. (either hard copy or on computer)

1. What happens in the story?
2. What is the author trying to tell us about the relationship between men and women?
