Joy by Chekhov
Write 650+ words in 3 or more focused paragraphs. You do not need to write an introduction or conclusion, but your paragraphs should each focus on an aspect you are exploring and should flow. You are required to answer the questions given for the specific text.
QUESTIONS:
1. Why does Kuldarov not feel any shame or embarrassment?
2. How does this story relate to our world today? After that, discuss what you consider the important themes, ideas, or lessons of the text.
You may also want to discuss the style or form of the text if it is of note. You could also write about how this text connects to others you have read or seen. Do not summarize and only quote the text if you plan to explore the quotation in an interesting way. Try to be specific with your ideas and to talk directly about specific parts or aspects of the text (rather than being too general).
