Be prepared to answer literary terms questions.

I will ask at least one question about each of the following short stories: "Hills Like White Elephants,"  "A Lady's Beaded Bag," "We Have to Sit Opposite," "A Hunger Artist," "A Serious Talk," "The Charmer,"  and "The Blue Bouquet."

I will ask about the following elements: setting and atmopsphere, conflict, theme, character, irony, symbol, and point of view.
