How might they relate to one another in terms of character or theme?

English 102 continues the focus on research, analysis, and critical thinking that began in English 101, but now applies these skills toward the study of literature.
We begin our study this week with a focus on short fiction. After reading the short stories in week 1’s “Reading Preparation” section, discuss the way that experiencing literature can impact you as a reader. To compose your post, respond to one of the following questions:
Discuss what you see as the most striking, powerful, memorable, or interesting features of one of this week’s stories: “The Story of an Hour” or “The Lottery.” Why did this element leave an impression on you? What storytelling choices did the author make to help this story have the maximum effect?
If you were to cast a movie for one of these stories, which story would you pick, and who would you choose to play the main roles– and why? Consider characterization in your response.
What connections, if any, did you find between these stories? How might they relate to one another in terms of character or theme?
Task 1: Submit your main response to the discussion forum prompt on or before the required date/time by clicking the ‘**REPLY HERE**’ link. Your main response should be substantive, addressing each required part of the forum prompt. Your main response should be at least 150 words.
