While Aldrich's essay, "Why I Live in a Small Town," describes a different sort of life than Capote's portrayal of small town Holcolm (and as you'll discover Monday, Haven Kimmel's description of small town Moreland, Indiana), there are similarities between the citizens and the culture of these places. Think about that as you read.
Questions for homework:
1. TAP. Include two examples of evidence from the essay to support each part of TAP.
2. Aldrich arranges her essay into several sections. What is the purpose of this arrangement and how to these sections connect with one another?
3. Aldrich wrote this essay in 1933. Cite three words or phrases from the essay that hint at this era. For each word or phrase, explain its meaning in Aldrich’s time and contrast its meaning today.
4. Contrast Aldrich's ideas about small town life with city life.
