Select from the following short stories and write a paper on one or more, using library databases to find three secondary sources appropriate for college-level academic work.
“Hunters in the Snow”
“The Lesson”
“Fault Lines”
“What Kind of Furniture Would Jesus Pick?”
Note that you can write about “To Build a Fire” in conjunction with another story, but please don’t focus on that only as it’s not strictly speaking a contemporary piece.
For your topic, choose something that interests you and something on which you can find good secondary sources (a secondary source is a piece written about the story) in the databases.
