Seniors Homework due Tuesday--The Jilting of Granny Weatherall

To be "jilted" means to be "dumped" by your intended husband or wife. Granny Weatherall, the titular character of story, was literally "left at the altar" waiting for her fiance, George, to arrive.

That jilting stuck with Granny for her entire life, even though she marries someone else and raises a family.

Instead of taking home your "big white book," read the story online at this link: The Jilting of Granny Weatherall. Prepare at least ten analytical questions and comments on the story for class discussion on Tuesday.

The story is often narrated from Granny's point of view (called stream of consciousness) as she is dying and remembering different parts of her life, so it gets a little confusing. But we'll figure it out.
