300-500 words / no AI
For this reading response:
1) Read and annotate the two selections from James Joyce’s short story collection, Dubliners: “Araby” and “A Mother.”
2) Choose one story for this response. In the Reading Response Template located in Course Resources, write a few sentences briefly summarizing the plot, noting the theme(s), and stating the tone(s).
3) Then, underneath, write at least one paragraph that describes the presence of two opposing elements in the story and how the presence of both elements helps us to understand the nature of each one individually. (For example, we understand the concept of hot through its relationship to cold. How is this present in a literary example in Joyce’s stories?)
