Short Story Assignment- House Contents and the Big Wide World

House Contents and the Big Wide World by Camilla Gibb

Read the short story (in the handouts)

Answer these two questions in a paragraph: 

In the story, the author deals with the main character, Susan's agoraphobia in a humorous manner.
Do you think that the humour works, given how serious the problem is? Is it effective, why or why not?

Does Susan's character and voice feel authentic, and real? Why or why not? Give examples.
