One obvious question about a story is what time it takes place. How well does the story portay detail about life during the time of the story, this is important because it effects the thoughts of the characters. Another topic is the character's economic and social level. One approach to writing a paper is from a feminist approach (or child's, or man's). This provides you with a way to discuss a work, and to analyze what a work says about the condition of being in that category during that time period. Another important topic is race/ethnicity, it offers deeper insight into the characters and story itself.
I liked these articles. They offered possible points of discussion/ topics for a paper, and this is important to me as a student in english class. I never really considered the race or feminist point of view and its implications in the story. I just read something and then wrote about it, answering whatever questions where asked. These articles also continue the idea of the previous article, offering more insight into characters, and helping to create a more well rounded essay. If nothing else, it provides food for thought.
