2.Who is the most sympathetic character in the story and why? What kind of information do we learn about the emotional life of that character? What don’t we know?

 

3What point of view does the story use? What effect does this type of narrator have on the story’s effect?

 

4.Describe the setting of the story in detail. Where is it set? What is the time period? What don’t we know about the setting

 

5.What is the style of the story? Is the prose formal or informal? Melodramatic? Minimalistic? Describe the overall tone and give evidence for your answers.

 

6.Do you see any reoccurring images or patterns in the story? Are there any symbols?

 

7.Why is the narrator so focused on the girl’s sexuality? What argument is the story making about this subject?
