Tues. Mar. 21, 2017: "The Lamp at Noon" Questions & "The Painted Door" Readings

Today, you were instructed to answer questions 6-10 for "The Lamp at Noon." I have pasted them below for those who were absent. I also gave out the reading "The Painted Door." If you were not here, it is in your portfolio.
If you want to read it, just google The Painted Door readings (I like the second one that pops up)

Here are the questions for "The Lamp at Noon." Be sure to answer these FULLY.


6. Why is the husband not giving in to her? Explain his reasons and provide the context (history).

7. What is the climax of this story? How do you know this is the climax? Explain.

8. Using your Canadian Themes sheet, identify three themes present in this story. Provide three pieces of evidence to prove each one. Keep in mind that the themes sheet is actually presenting topics. You have to create the “what about it…” Only then do you have a theme.

9. Based on what you know, is the ending of this story realistic? Provide a real life analogy that shows the same desperation and show me the comparison.


10. What do you think happened to this couple after this? Write a sequel that addresses this.
