3. Enjoying grid group discussions to sort through your Level 1 and 2 questions
- Topic #1: How do people initially react to Mr. Hooper's veil? What different types of reactions are there throughout the story? How does it affect his relationship with Elizabeth? How do people's reactions to the veil / opinions of Mr. Hooper shift by the end of the story?
- Topic #2: What do other people (including Elizabeth) see the veil as a symbol of? What does Mr. Hooper say it's a symbol of on the last page? What do you think it symbolizes?
- Topic #3: Which lines did you mark as displaying some aspect of the uncanny? How does the veil weaken Mr. Hooper, and how does it empower him?
4. Thinking "outside the box" by creating masks to explore Hawthorne's imagery, tone, and themes
HW:
