Discussion Post: Introduction to fiction
Part I
i. Responds to every aspect of the discussion prompt with originality (do not just repeat what other students say - what is different that you can add to the conversation?)
ii. Displays a familiarity with the texts and topics being discussed, using specific details or examples from the text(s)
At the discretion of the instructor, points will be taken off any response that does not fulfill all of these goals. Late points will be deducted according to the standard late submission policy.
Part II
Choose one of the following to answer:
i. How does the second story you chose to read compare with Kafka's Metamorphosis? They both fall into the genre of magical realism, but what similarities or differences do you see?
ii. If you were to reimagine one of the readings into a magical realism story, how would you go about changing or adding to the story? Would it drastically alter the meaning of the story? Why or why not?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
