How do these short stories reflect the characteristics and themes of modern fiction?

Instruction: Obtain Tuesday Who is author Ernest Hemingway? (“Cat in the Rain”) http://www.biography.com/people/ernest-hemingway-9334498 Quick Facts BIRTH DATE: July 21, 1899 DEATH DATE :July 02, 1961 EDUCATION: Oak Park and River Forest High School PLACE OF BIRTH: Cicero (now in Oak Park), Illinois PLACE OF DEATH: Ketchum, Idaho Full Name: Ernest Miller Hemingway Best Known For Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway is seen as one of the great American 20th century novelists, and is known for works like A Farewell to Arms and The Old Man and the Sea.

What is Modern Fiction? Short Stories Tuesday Who is author Raymond Carver? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oapV2DzeYBw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUPvXoEBT0k 1938–1988 one of a handful of contemporary short story writers credited with reviving what was once thought of as a dying literary form stories mainly take place in his native Pacific Northwest region Carver's own life paralleled that of one of his characters born in an Oregon logging town married and the father of two before twenty years old worked at a series of low paying jobs Stories peopled with the type of lower-middle-class characters world of the desperation of ordinary people, Carver created tales that are "brief . . . but by no means stark," notes Geoffrey Wolff the author's "first book of stories explored a common plight rather than a common subject," notes New York Times Book Review critic Michael Wood. Carver also wrote extensively as a poet. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/raymond-carver

Activity: Develop Literature develops from the writing that came before it Compile a list of the qualities that characterize Carver’s work What specific details support items on your list? Basic Qualities of Minimalist Fiction – handout “Less is More” “Tell it like it is” compare this list of characteristics to those evident in Hemingway’s "Cat in the Rain." compare the plot, setting, conflict, and themes of both stories Both stories relate an unhappy moment in the lives of the two couples and this brief glimpse is likely indicative of a larger problem in both relationships.

Hemingway’s well-known concept of the iceberg structure: “If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writing is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water.” Death in the Afternoon (Scriber’s, 1932), p. 192.

Social/Historical Influences We Do Imagine why the minimalist style might have developed in the 1970s and remained popular in contemporary times. Look at your Social/Historical Notes on Modern Fiction Compare these to Reasons for the Development and Continued Popularity of Minimalism writers are also influenced by the styles of their literary predecessors Early minimalists of the 1970s (a group that includes Raymond Carver, Ann Beattie, Grace Paley, and Mary Robison) had a strong influence on another generation of writers, the “Brat Pack” of the 1980s (a name coined by the media for a group of young writers that includes Jay McInerney, Susan Minot, Lorrie Moore, Peter Cameron, and Tama Janowitz).

Activity: Develop What characteristics make “Little Things” similar to elements you know of a standard short story? What elements of “Little Things” break away from the norms of a standard short story? What characteristics/criteria should be established for a creative imitation of this work? Brainstorm a list of topics involving human interaction.   Which of these (above) would make for a good story?
