Second Person short stories - 'How to talk to a Hunter' by Pam Houston

18 Novembro 2024, 14:00 Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio

Today we began to read and analyze How to talk to a Hunter by Pam Houston.


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;
  • how does it differ/it what way is it similar to A Kid's Guide to Divorce;
  • 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 (except for Janie Coyote and we suspect, quite rightly, that it is a fake name).
    • What does this all mean?
Next class: we will finish reading the short story.
