"The Story and its Writer"

Paper Summary:

This paper consists of seven different papers, each dealing with a different issue, ranging from post colonialism, postmodernism, dialect, tone, and other literary issues. The common thread is that all utilize short stories found in Ann Charters' anthology, "The Story and Its Writer."

From the Paper:

"Themes are a common part of any literary tradition. These are the embedded meanings and ideological concepts that lurk just beneath the surface of any given narrative. Unearthing these themes in literary works can be both enlightening and unnerving depending upon the intentions of the author (and even of the reader). It should be no surprise, then, that some very common themes emerge in four short stories found in Ann Charters' anthology The Story and Its Writer. In Isak Dinesen's "The Sailor Boy's Tale" we find a clear example of the coming of age theme. In Louise Erdich's "The Red Convertible, the theme of brotherhood is plain to see (and read)."
