Today, we discussed the short story "Shining Houses." I went through the conflicts (main and secondary), main character personality evidence as well as characteristics of Mrs. Fullerton, and then went into quite a discussion about how things really don't change all that much over time. People still suffer from peer pressure at both the micro- level (small community) as well as at the international level (there was some talk about immigration and politics as this is becoming a heated issue in the present).
Tomorrow, we will discuss "The Painted Door," and, hopefully, "The Jade Peony." Review both of these before class.
