Second Person short stories - The Kid's Guide to Divorce by Lorrie Moore

31 Outubro 2024, 14:00 Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio

Today we began to read and analyze The Kid's Guide to Divorce by Lorrie Moore.


Students who missed today's class should read the above text as soon as possible.  Please explore the following aspects:
  • how the second voice affects the reader in this particular text;
  • how does it differ in tone from the more common, more predictible second voice texts;
  • notice how the author alternates between the imperative (when talking to 'you') and future tenses when talking about/describing everything around them;
  • notice how we don't know the names of any of the characters or even the gender of the main character.
    • What does this all mean?
Homework: finish reading the story for homework
