For Monday/Tuesday

Read "A Hanging" by George Orwell. It's in the dropbox Orwell pack.

Pick one of these questions to focus on as you read:
1. Discuss the role of these details: the dog, the puddle, the dialogue at the end.

2. What three sense details struck you most forcefully? Choose specific details, not type of sense appealed to.

3. Find two metaphors in "A Hanging." Are they decorative for simple visual appeal (many are) or do they convey and idea or meaning beyond the picture? Explain.
