INSTRUCTIONS: Each part of this forum post should be approximately 300 words in length. Both Part 1 and Part 2 should be posted in the same response.
Choose one of the following questions to answer for
Part 1:
Poe: Analyze the colors used in the rooms and objects in Poe's "Masque of the Red Death." What do they represent? Who do you think is the narrator? (No, it is not Poe)
Hawthorne: In "The Ambitious Guest," Hawthorne is well known for using irony in his stories. Irony is sometimes difficult for readers to extract from stories, but it is fun to find. Identify at least a couple of examples of irony in "The Ambitious Guest." Were they difficult to find? What does the irony do to reinforce a point or make the story interesting?
Melville: Explain the subtitle of "Bartleby the Scrivener": "A Story of Wall Street"? What does Melville imply about the business world? Would those sentiments still be relevant today? Could the story be written today with a modern-day Bartleby, and what might he be like?
Part 2: Among many of the foundational themes of the poetry of the Fireside Poets were living a just life, commemorating history, embracing family and community, and celebrating nature. Consider the poetry of Henry Wadworth Longfellow and Oliver Wendell Holmes and discuss how these themes are represented in both.
