“How Much Land Does a Man Need” – Foreshadowing

by D. Marolla

Good Morning!

Please read (or listen to) part II of “How Much Land Does a Man Need?”.

The story is here: https://www.online-literature.com/tolstoy/2738/

Please answer the following (20 points):

  1. How does Tolstoy effectively foreshadow events?  In other words, what hints does he give out that this story might not end well.
  2. Pahom says: “If only I had more land, I shouldn’t fear the devil himself”
  • Does he mean the actual devil?
  • Is there a Devil?
  • Is it bad for him to boast?

Write a letter to the Man in “To Build a Fire”

by D. Marolla

Reading and or Listening: Please finish the Jack London story “To Build a Fire”.  When you’re done, please do the following creative assignment:

Write a letter to the Man in “To Build a Fire”. Tell him all of his mistakes, and how he should have done it. Use pictures if you wish, perhaps of people who have successfully lived remote lives. Your letter to him should be about half of one page to one page long. (50 points)

You can be creative.  Actually, in this class you can always be creative, but here if you want to add pictures or maps that would be something special.
