Homework: Read "On the Rainy River" in The Things They Carried.
Find three passages:
1. Find and mark one passage that reveals conflict. In your book (if you own it) or on a sticky (if you do not own it), explain what kind of conflict it is.
2. Find and mark one passage that reveals the tone of the narrator. What is the attitude of the narrator toward the main conflict he is facing? See a list of words you can use in describing tone.
3. Mark in the book one allusion, or one reference to another piece of literature or media. Try to explain why O'Brien may have included this reference. You may have to do some research.
4. Connect this story to another piece we have read. Mark the text where you specifically make this connection. Explain the connection in your book or on a stickie.
