Problem
I. Using Sociological Theory, discuss the way Hurston portrays race and class in her story. What are the differences that exist in the ways the classes are portrayed? Who is privileged and who is not? Does money factor as a social force linked with power and privilege? Be sure to use examples from the text in your response.
II. What experimental elements do you find at work in either Ocampo's or Mansfield's story? Be specific and offer examples.
III. One of the elements Modernism is known for is depicting the lives of characters, usually protagonists, who find themselves outcasts in society. Is this true of Ocampo's or Mansfield's story or not? Please explain using examples from the story.
IV. Are there any symbols at work in any of these stories? Tell us the story, the symbol, and an explanation of it.
