Please read this short story from The New Yorker: Clara.

After you read, write a response about either plot, theme, character, or setting (if you need to, look up how plot, theme, character, or setting are defined). Your response should have at least three paragraphs-- intro., body, conclusion-- and no more than five paragraphs. The body paragraph(s) must have a quote, which you cite and then analyze, relating it to your topic sentence. Your response needs to be typed up, 12-point font, double-space. Let me know if you have any questions.
