Today, instead of reading another story all together as a class, you will read one and analyze it on your own:

1. Choose a story (which hook draws you in??):

"Crying in H Mart," by Michelle Zauner

"Jesus Shaves," by David Sedaris

Excerpt from How to be Black, by Baratunde Thurston

"Shooting an Elephant," by George Orwell

"Working at Wendy's," by Joey Franklin

"Gambling With My Grandmother," by Jen Palmares Meadows

2. Read the story, paying careful attention to character.

3. Answer these 2 questions, and submit here on Canvas:

What is the character like, and how do you know?

Imagine the writer is sending a message through the story. What is their message?

If you need some guidance, here is a link to what we came up with as a class about character and message in "Outsider," "Red at the Bone," and "The 'F' Word."
