Please read the three "Short Pieces" "Out in the Desert" and "Humpty Dumpty" are here. Grossman, "A Tale About Happiness" is here.
Study the texts carefully! Begin by carefully considering the first "short piece", the two very short poems.
Note that they cannot be interpreted "literally". That is, note that a summary is completely beside the point. The point is: to understand what this piece of writing is actually about.
Your writing assignment is to write 175 words of interpretation -- NOT summary -- of the third (Grossman) of these readings.
To repeat: Do NOT summarize, paraphrase, etc. Instead, try to "interpret". What is going on here? Among the questions to ask:
* What kind of story is being told?
