Continuing our examination of the Southern Gothic genre, today we examined Welty's short story " A Gift of Charity". We discussed the relationship of setting to the the theme of the story as well as Welty's use of symbols, in this case ,an apple ,an illusion to the Old Testament story of Adam and Eve. Bobby addressed the hard lesson about human nature the main character discovers and compared the role of "charity" in this story with the role of charity in Welty's story, " A Worn Path" which we read last week. We then opened the virtual notebook and supplemented some literary terms and reviewed and discussed Bobby's homework answers on the story.
