Reading Response #4 requires you to respond to one of two short stories we’ve read so far, either Ellison’s “King of the Bingo Game” or Munro’s “Boys and Girls.” Like all Reading Responses this semester, it will consist of two parts: the summary and your reaction. Your summary should adequately (and concisely) provide a precis of the text and not exceed one five-sentence paragraph. It must also include an integrated quotation from the text. After the summary, you will provide a well-developed, thought-out reaction to the text. You may want to consider how it speaks to a previous work (or works) that we have read or simply explore what interests you about the reading. You have a lot of freedom with these reactions. No matter how you choose to respond, strive to offer an original, provocative insight of your own. Do not, in other words, seek assistance from the internet. You are intelligent, thoughtful readers engaging with some of the most profound literature of human history. Demonstrate your own intellectual conversation with these masterworks.
The Reading Response should be between 1.5 and 2 pages, not including the required Works Cited page.
