Final graded essay assignment
What life lessons does "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" suggest to the reader? Use specific examples from the story to make your points. It may also be appropriate to use examples from your own life or those you know well to make your points.
You won't have an opportunity to rewrite this essay, so be sure to bring your best game.
Most critically, make sure you do your own work. You've made it this far in the semester; it would be a shame to blow it all on plagiarism this late in the game. The internet is full of temptation on this one. Resist.

"The Jilting of Granny Weatherall"
Also, please have some idea of what the story is saying and what's really going on. "Jilting" has been around long enough that a simple Google search will give you more than enough critical writing on the story. Here's a good plan: read the story first, come up with your best interpretation, and then check your theory against some of what's been written online. Whatever you do, don't come to class with an "I have no idea" attitude.
