Think back to some of the stories you've read in the last year or two. Of those, maybe you had one that you started to read, but you just couldn’t get into it. Why? What made you keep putting it down? On the other hand, think about a story you really enjoyed. What literary elements did the writer use to make it impossible to put down? For example, was the protagonist easy to relate to? Did the author describe the setting with such vivid detail that you felt you were right there? Authors will produce works that place more emphasis on one element than another. As a result, sometimes there are gaps in literary elements that typically appeal to you as the reader. Discuss some of the recent stories you’ve read that have missed the mark. What advice would you give to that author to fill in the gaps you felt were missing? Also give your opinion on some stories that you’ve really enjoyed. Explain the elements that make it a good story. For example, how did the author use character, symbolism, or point of view to create such a page-turner?

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
