Dane
Responsibility
Boys and Girls
Topics
Both “Dane” and “Responsibility” have male characters at their centre. In David Adams Richards’ short story, the reader learns about a complex yet tragic character through the eyes of Jess, the narrator. In Russell Smith’s short story, James defends his life choices to his mother. How are these two central male characters in the two short stories similar? Alternatively, you could argue that the male characters are different; if so, how are they different? Use quotations from the short stories in your body paragraphs to develop your ideas.
Both “Boys and Girls” and “Responsibility” deal with family relationships. Alice Munro’s short story deals with the relationship between a father and daughter while Russell Smith’s short story examines the relationship between a mother and son. How are the family relationships in these two short stories similar? Alternatively, you could argue that the family relationships are different; if so, how are they different? Use quotations from the short stories in your body paragraphs to develop your ideas.
