Response 3 and 4 questions

Hello Gentlemen,

For our convenience I've taken it upon myself to post the questions for us to respond to this time round. Feel free to add to or change your response as you see fit. Maybe switch which story goes with which question if you don't like how they match up. I didn't get a chance to read pastoral. I bought a collection that Carver called his best works, and it wasn't in it. Sorry guys, I went the indie route and went to Talking Leaves.


Post 3: (What We Talk About When We Talk About Love) After reading respond using these questions: What connections do you seeing between the story and current events? Be specific – include quotes from the story to help you convey your ideas. Find some news articles, video shots on youtube and other video hosting websites and post them to the blog. Explain the connections you see. Ask your group members to comment.

Post 4: (Where I'm Calling From) After reading the story: Pick a character you are interested in and spend some time writing about them. Who do they remind you of in your own life? Why? Try and use specific references to events in the story and your own life. What do you think of the decisions they have made up to this point? Do you like this person? What advice would you give them? Who else do they remind you of from other literature you have read or other characters in movies, television shows and other texts from popular media? Share some links to these things on the blog.
