compare and contrast the symbolisms, vocabulary, hidden meanings, themes,
the various settings, the various time settings of which the stories were

following stories:

This unit is also designed to allow students to investigate
the various subjects that the stories describe (as each are different) and
to research the possibilities of what the semantics are of each. The unit is
planned for a 2 week period but can be easily adapted to meet a longer or
shorter period of time, depending on how many reading selections are being
utilized.
