It’s Friday Again

Homework: Finish reading “The Nose” by Nikolai Gogol, make sure that all of your annotations are clear and demonstrate your close reading of the text. Fill out the next four lines of your Dialectical Journal using examples (quotes) from the text that clarify this short story by Gogol as magical realism. Remember to use your Magical Realism criteria chart from your Reading Log when selecting which parts of the text best demonstrate magical realism.
