UC Irvine In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson is Buried by Amy Hempel Questions

 

I’m working on a English writing question and need a sample draft to help me study.

  1. Read attached both readings and slides and to Unpack the following subtext in this sentence “On the morning she was moved to the cemetery, the one where Al Jolson is Buried, I enrolled in a “Fear of Flying” class.”

answer the following questions if they would help:

  • What is a small alternative choice the writer could have made here? It can help to think of small alternative choices the writer could have made, to see more clearly the choices the writer did make. For example, what’s the difference between saying “On the morning my best friend died” vs. “On the morning she was moved to the cemetery”?
