1. In this blog posting I'd like you to consider how Michael Cunningham (the author) uses symbolism in the short story? For example, discuss how he uses angels, the clock, windows or glass, sight, planes, or the cemetary to enhance a purpose.
2. Another point I'd like you to address is how you think the climax functioned in the story. Did it shock you, disturb you, move you to tears?
3. And finally, I'd like you to talk about your personal reaction to the story. Did you like it? Did you think it was worth reading or simply a gory shock-value tale?
