Step 1: Meeting the author

  • Watch the two short videos and listen to Suzanne Vega, another artist, speaking about Carson Mc Cullers.
  • Listen to her song about Carson Mc Cullers 
  • Now your turn: write a short poem about yourself using Vega's lyrics as a model. Which animal are you?

            (see document attached Meeting Carson McCullers )

Step 2: reading chapter One & Two : characterization

  • read the first chapter and do the activities to understand the main information (who? where? when? what?)
  • After reading chapter 2, get ready to stage it. 
  • Interviewing the characters: prepare a series of questions you could ask the characters present in the novel, even mundane questions. Now, get ready to interview them.
