Week 2 Activity 3_Gender and Literature

Q instruction for activity 3: One way to see how binary gender works in a text is to flip the script and retell the story from another character’s perspective. Given the narrative point of view is mostly Nick’s or another white man’s perspective, this can be especially productive for revealing perspectives marginalized by patriarchy. Choose Marjorie from “The End of Something,” Dick Boulton from “The Doctor and Doctor’s Wife,” or the Indian woman or man from “Indian Camp” and rewrite Hemingway’s story from their perspective in 2 double-spaced pages. In your retelling, you should refer to specific details and quote from the original story. Include a paragraph explaining why you did what you did with your revision.
