answer the question by the following number

1. What were your thoughts about "The Hen" and "The Smallest Woman"? Were they really representing a "hen" or a very "tiny female"? If not, what was the author attempting to express by using these images and terms?

2. What were your thoughts regarding the short story, "The Continuity of Parks"? What did you think about the literary device of outer and inner narrators? Did it help or confuse you?

3. "House Taken Over" is on some levels a simple tale about a brother, sister, and their house. Yet, if we view it through a political lens, the story takes on a more negative tone. What are your thoughts about this interpretation and why?

4. "Night Face Up" pertains to both realistic and mysterious levels. How does it then embody both the complexities of this life and those of the "beyond"?
