To finish looking at the Harlem Renaissance, I'd like you to read and react to a beautiful poem, one that speaks to love rather than hardship. Here's the link: An Aspect of Love
Moving on to Modernist short stories, you have two this week, the first one using stream-of-consciousness, which was one of the techniques Modernists explored. The other is more in the realm of Realism. Both stories examine strong women characters in a time where women had limited options.
Your assignment is to read both stories and write an essay about any theme that unites these stories. Remember to use a proper thematic statement. It must have a developed introduction, a proper thesis statement, at least three developed body paragraphs, and a developed conclusion. Body paragraphs must have thorough, complete evidence AND reasoning.
