Focus on two or three key actions of that character. Discuss the character s motivations and decisions in terms you can support with clear evidence from a critical reading of the text. Consider whether this character s actions fit together or contradict each other. You may also want to consider whether or not any other characters in the story are aware of this conflict, and if so, how they influence the character you are writing about.Literary Works (choose one): Interpreter of Maladies (Jhumpa Lahiri, 1999) Guiding Questions: How does a new outsider community member like Mrs. Das influence Mr. Kapasi, who seems to have become bored with his life and his role in the community?How does Mr. Kapasi s desire for Mrs. Das make him unable to understand Mrs. Das desires, leading to his failure to fulfill his role as the Interpreter of Maladies?How do the Das family s actions surrounding their children show that their desires or interests do not accord with their obligations? What You Pawn, I Will Redeem (Sherman Alexie, 2003)Guiding Questions How does the grandmother s property at the pawn shop help to define the narrator s desires and feeling of obligation to recover it? Why is it so important?How does the character accomplish his objective, and how is this surprising considering all of the unfortunate events and bad decisions he makes along the way?How do the other characters the Aleuts, the pawn shop owner, the waitress, the police officer, the other Indians at the bar each play an important role in showing how the narrator is committed to an important mission he is worthy of completing? We Came All the Way from Cuba so You Could Dress Like This? (Achy Obejas, 1994) Guiding Questions To what conflicts does the title allude (social? Political? Cultural? others?)?The first-person narrator switches tenses (from present to future). How does this create tension in the story?How is the narrator s internal conflict ( man v. self ) merely an internalization of political, familial, and social conflict? The Things They Carried (Tim O Brien, 1990) 5.4 in Journey into LiteratureGuiding Questions The second paragraph of the story begins, The things they carried were largely determined by necessity (O Brien, 1990). Were the soldiers truly able to carry everything they needed? What needs were left unfulfilled by these items, and what in the story suggests this?The narrator also lists specific items that each man carried. How do these items symbolize the emotions that they carried with them, and how does this understanding enrich our understanding of the characters?Often a comparative analysis can help us to notice elements of a story that we might not otherwise notice. Choose two or three characters and compare the things they carried. How does this comparison help qualities of each come to the surface?
