1. Alice Walker, “Everyday Use,” pp. 17-25, Course Pack (A realistic story)
Explore some of the differences between a fable or parable (which often relies on plot and
has a clear ‘moral’ or meaning) and a short story (which usually does is not only about plot
and often cannot be ‘explained’ as easily).1) In a first paragraph, try to briefly give the
reader what it is about your chosen parable or fable that ‘gets your attention.’ Does it have
good ‘story value’? Is it easy to remember and re-tell? Speculate on why is it that your
parable has existed for hundreds (or even thousands) of years. What is the ‘moral’ of this
story? Is the moral or meaning of the parable or tale clear to the reader? Is it possible to
derive other meanings from the story beside the official ‘moral’? Why or why not? Also, is
plot (or a plot ‘twist’), the most important ‘element’ in a parable or fable? Try to tell us the
plot twist or moral using a direct quote and cite.2) In a second paragraph (or two), try to
describe what element or elements in your chosen short story are most ‘original,’
‘interesting’ or ‘appealing’ to you beyond the plot in your story. For instance, you might
describe a setting, a character, effective dialogue (the way characters speak) or a decision a
protagonist must make. (For example, in “Everyday Use,” the mother decides to give the
family quilts to Maggie. In Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the narrator confesses to murder
even though he has gotten away with the crime. These are complex decisions that aren’t
easy to explain — like in a fable.) Another short story element is point of view (the skillful
control of what we see and hear as readers). Try to anchor your ‘reading’ of this second text
using at least 3 actual short passages from the story which are presented and cited using
last name and page number, for example, (Walker 279). Make sure you explain what your
quotes ‘mean’ using a ’quote sandwich’ that a) introduces, b) presents and then c) explains
each short quote. The post Alice Walker, “Everyday Use,” pp. 17-25, Course Pack (A realistic
