Bradbury Short Story Project, Story Daft #2/Hemingway Research

You should have completed a draft of one story by this class. Today, please begin or continue writing your second of three interlocking stories.

Choose a character, setting, object, event, or theme from your first story (it should not be the protagonist of your first story) and write ANOTHER story connected in some way to the first.

For example: If my protagonist in the first story meets a minor character, my second story might make this minor character a major character in the second story.

or--If my setting occurs in the 1950's in an American city like Chicago, my second setting might be set in 2050 in the same city. I have changed the setting for the second story.

or--if I wrote about a young couple falling in love, I might write about their lives when they are in their 80's. I might also link the story thematically by writing about another couple falling in love in a different circumstance, etc.

During period 8, please return the Martian Chronicles to the library and pick up Snows of Kilamanjaro by Ernest Hemingway. Please take some time during 8th period to research and complete the notes on Hemingway.

Please consult this website and read about Hemingway. Watch the video (it's 4 minutes long), then read the article about Hemingway. Answer the questions on the handout. Turn in by the end of class today.

HOMEWORK: Please read the first three stories in the collection: "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", "A Clean Well Lighted Place", and "A Day's Wait". As you read, consider how the stories reflect what you have learned about Hemingway from your research. We will take a quiz on these 3 stories and discuss the use of flashback, stream of consciousness, and POV next class.
