The assignment asks us to write about two short stories we read in class (listed below) and discuss how they have similar themes.
*
- "The Children of the Sea" (from Krik? Krak!) - By Edwige Danticat
- "The Adopted Son" - By Guy de Maupassant
- "Kabuliwala" - By Rabindranath Tagore
- "Yeh-Shen" - By Ai-Ling Louie
- "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World" - By Gabriel García Márquez
*
My issue is: I honestly don't see any specific connections in the themes of these stories. If anyone can find similar themes in any of these stories, I'll owe you a kidney.
Here are the assignment's requirements, if you need them:
--
The essay must start by identifying a theme that both of your short stories had in common, and provide textual evidence of where that theme is developed in the stories.
Then, your essay must examine how that theme was developed in similar and different ways in the two short stories. Be prepared to use evidence to compare and contrast the way the theme is treated in both.
Your essay should include an introduction with a thesis, developmental paragraphs using CER format, and a conclusion that restates your main points.
Your essay must be typed and in MLA format. It must use correct grammar and spelling.
The essay’s target length is 500-550 words.
