Choose a short story from the anthology by one of the following writers: Carol Shields, Beth Brant, Michael Crummey, or Caroline Adderson.
Your goal is to write a thoughtful interpretive commentary. Make sure that your paper has an introduction with a clear thesis statement, that it develops a clearly focused, well-defined argument, and that it offers textual citation and analysis to support your thesis. Do not simply summarize content. Show how meaning emerges from the story and its structure: be aware of the interrelationship of presentation (style, form, tone, etc.) and meaning.
