Spring Break Extra Credit!

In about 5 minutes, I am leaving to pedal to St. Augustine. I am have a little trepidation about the ride, but I am super excited. Sorry it has taken me so long to post this. Here it is!

Find the story "Like a Winding Sheet" by Ann Petry online. Either print it or read it online. Write a response to the following question after reading.

Why is the symbolism of the winding sheet so important to the story and how does the man become more symbolically wrapped up in it as the day progresses to its eventual, tragic end?

Your response should use specific examples from the story and be at least 1 page long. This extra credit is worth up to 60 points, but that is only for superior work, so try hard to be excellent. Blue or black ink. No torn edges on the pages. Be neat! Please title the assignment, "Like a Winding Sheet" Extra Credit.

Have fun and enjoy the rest of your break!
