Today, TP6 identified some of the themes present in Jhumpa Lahiri's 'Interpreter of Maladies' and then went on to create thesis statements for this short story. Students who missed this class should ensure that they do the same at home. The PowerPoint containing the themes for all of the stories will be uploaded onto the shared Google drive once all lessons regarding all stories are completed, i.e. just before the Easter break. Translation? Come to class.
Homework: read Jhumpa Lahiri's second short story 'When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine'.
Next class: we will analyze the second short story and practice coming up with thesis statements.
