The document provides discussion questions about three short stories by famous American authors Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and William Faulkner. For Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," students are asked whether the story provides evidence that Hemingway disliked or did not understand women. For Faulkner's works, students are tasked with discussing how his stories reflect the American South after the Civil War in terms of racial and class politics. Finally, for Fitzgerald's "Babylon Revisited," the role of money in the characters' lives is to be examined. Students are provided readings from the Norton anthology to address the questions.

Write a brief paragraph addressing the question and including spec
- 1. Write a brief paragraph addressing the question and including specific evidence to support your ideas. 1. Ernest Hemingway is perhaps the most famous American fiction writer of the twentieth century, but many critics have attacked his work for what they perceive as its misogyny. Looking at “Kilimanjaro,” do you see evidence to support or oppose the idea that Hemingway disliked or simply did not understand women? 2. William Faulkner’s work is almost entirely concerned with the American South in the decades after the Civil War and with the racial and class politics of that time. How is that reflected in these works? What is the relationship between class and race in Faulkner’s stories? 4. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s writing is often concerned with the role of class in American life, and specifically with the nature of either being or wishing to be, rich. Discuss the role money plays in the life of the characters in “Babylon Revisited.” · Readings: The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway · Norton, Volume D § Sherwood Anderson (page 251-266), all selections § F. Scott Fitzgerald (page 629), “Babylon Revisited” § William Faulkner (page 666), “A Rose for Emily” and “Barn Burning”
