Silent Reading, 20 min

Ernest Hemingway
  • Read "Indian Camp" (handout in class)
  • Answer these questions:
  1. What characteristics of the Hemingway hero does Nick exhibit in this story?
  2. This story, which obviously takes place years before "The End of Something," features Nick--the same main character. Do we learn information here that explains more of his behavior in that story?
  3. Iceberg Theory: What information in "Indian Camp" is 'under water'? What does Hemingway leave out?
The Great Gatsby
  • Work time for Chapter Experts presentations. (See assignment and groups here)
  • There will only be about 5 minutes at the beginning of class for preparation on Tuesday. Remember that all assigned groups will present, even if some group members are missing.
