1. One of the central themes found in “The Lottery,” The
Sisterhood of the Night,” and The Village
is groupthink. Using at least TWO of these stories or film to explain how
it played a role in each story. Refer to the blog for outside sources and be
sure to use example from the primary texts as well as the outside sources.
2. Our class blog has a few articles about the Salem Witch
Hunt and Trials; use those (or other reliable outside sources on the topic) to
compare any similarities you see in “The Sisterhood of the Night.” It is often
referred to as an updated version of the Salem Witch Hunt. Use examples from
the texts along with outside sources to support your thesis.
3. Three of the most important symbols in “The Lottery” are
the lottery itself, the black box and Old Man Warner. Explain how these three
symbols have larger meaning within the story. Use examples from the texts along
with outside sources to support your thesis.
4. In “A Good Man is Hard to Find” the grandmother throws
the name of Jesus around a lot and there are other references to religion. What does all that add up to? In other words,
explain the role of God and religion in this otherwise gruesome story. Use
examples from the texts along with outside sources to support your thesis.
5. The issue of whether The Misfit had grace or not was
discussed in class. Pick a side of the argument and defend your thesis with
outside sources and examples from the text.
6. We discussed character and saw the roles of The Misfit,
Arnold Friend, Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill in each of their stories. Pick
3 of those villains and compare and contrast their roles in each of their
stories. Outside sources on why people commit crimes may help here. Use
examples from the texts along with outside sources to support your thesis.
