How is the novel similar to and different from the short stories we have read?
Consider:
The Sound of Thunder
There will Come Soft Rains
The Pedestrian
and The Veldt.
DO NOT concentrate on whether you like the novel or do not like the novel.
- Consider, instead, whether the novel is an effective comment on the price society pays for progress.
- Or, consider whether or not the text has quality, "pores", or fresh and vivid detail.
