Question: Does either of these stories ("Under the Lion's Paw" or "Barn Burning") contain anything still relevant today? If so, what, how, why, under what circumstances is it still relevant? You will need to look closely at the theme of each of these before you begin.
THE POINT is to analyze in depth as always. DO NOT write a plot summary. Be detailed and give me a well developed paragraph or two. (Choose only one story unless you feel compelled to respond to both.) Do not simply state the obvious, but use concrete details as to exactly how the subject is relevant today: How does it relate to events or attitudes in our world today. You will not get full points without meeting the criteria I have just stated.
