Write one sentence where you argue how the change you imagine would impact the overall meaning or message the author is trying to convey to the reader through the original story.

A. Make sure you have read the short stories assigned this week: “Paper Menagerie” by Ken Liu (uploaded in files) as well as both the Fiction Link ( I will add link below pg. 296- pg. 300) and Literary Theories Links ( I will add link below pg. 316- pg. 319).

B. Write 1 paragraph where you imagine something is different about one of the four stories we have read this module. This change can be whatever you want, but here are a few options for inspiration: a main character could be a different gender, the story could have taken place in a different time period, the ending could be different, the characters could be part of a different social class. Be sure to mention which story you chose and provide detail on the change you imagine for the story.

C. Write 1 paragraph where you analyze the same short story using one literary theory you read about in the Literary Theories Link. Use the “Questions About…” under your chosen literary theory to write your paragraph analysis of the short story you chose, specifically with the change you imagined for the story.

D. Write one sentence where you argue how the change you imagine would impact the overall meaning or message the author is trying to convey to the reader through the original story.
