This next mini-unit brings us to the world of the short story.

Short stories are wonderful little bits of literature because they have everything condensed for consumption over a shorter period of time.  They are usually concerned with not more than a few problems and themes, which allow us to go into them more indepth.  They also emphasize human nature and human values.

Monday: "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Tueday: "Just Lather, That's All" by Hernando Tellez

Wednesday & Thursday: "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes
