OR

Write a paragraph based on the one story you read this week (“Ruthless”, “The Open Window” or “The Dinner Party”).  You should pick out at least three topics based on your analysis of the story and come up with evidence for each of the topics. (Examples:  The importance of setting in the story.  How symbolism is significant to the story.)  Then choose one topic to write about for your story

*In your paragraph remember to give a thorough explanation of your topics as well as specific examples/evidence from the story to back up your topics.  Also include quotes directly from the story that exemplifies your topic.
