discuss the differences and/or similarities between themes in any two of the stories assigned this week. This goes beyond simply pointing out the similarities/differences–what is interesting about your observations?

In this response assignment, I want you to discuss the differences and/or similarities between themes in any two of the stories assigned this week. This goes beyond simply pointing out the similarities/differences–what is interesting about your observations?

Here are a few possibilities, but feel free to go beyond them if something strikes you as interesting:

the role of language and words

gender politics

alienation/”otherness”

abandonment/separation

The essay must be at least two full pages in MLA format, be composed of multiple paragraphs, and have the structure of an essay.
