Paragraph Answer for "A Spoiled Man"

Focus your answer on a specific section of the story. For example, it would be interesting to take a look at the scene where Rezak wants to share his old "time-expired" chicken with the waiter of the teahouse. Here you will find a conflict, certainly, and also should be able to tell us something about what this part of the story shows to us about Rezak himself.

Use the literary terms you have studied in the past in your answer. Some useful terms include conflict, characterization, setting, irony and theme. Try to keep your comment limited to a small event. Good answers may also attempt to examine how the smaller piece you have chosen fits into the larger story.

Write about 200 words. You may use multiple paragraphs if you wish, but be sure I can see why you choose to break into paragraphs. Quote the story at least once in your answer, but no more than 20 words, maximum, for all quotes.

NOTE: Look at other student answers before you proceed! If another student has already examined a part of the story, you must choose something else. Also, do not recount plot unless necessary. Assume that we have read the story, too, and are interested in what you noticed about it more than all the details in summary. Link to copy of story
