Dandelion Wine & The Lone Ranger...In Heaven

Information about Sherman Alexie can be found here.

For information on Bradbury, see the previous posts.

Whether you are reading Bradbury or Alexie, both writers attempt to tell stories that interest a reader. Examine, as you read, how these authors tell stories that make an impact on a reader. Use yourself and your own tastes as a guide. What interested you in each story? Which characters were most vivid? How does the author present conflict or theme in a story? Does the story leave you with an image or feeling or idea? Keep track of these observation in your journal.
