Today, you handed in your answers about the short story "The Painted Door." We then discussed the story. One of the items that arose from this discussion was that many of you are not highlighting and defining words you don't know. I explained that this is crucial if you want to build your vocabulary up in preparation of the final. You homework tonight is to go through the story again, write out words you don't know (or are used oddly, depending on the context) and define them. I also want you to identify the running metaphor in this story and prove it, using evidence from the story itself. These are both due for tomorrow.
