For an assignment coming up in a class in which I am currently enrolled, I must write a paper comparing a modern piece of literature to one of the stories we are reading in class.
The readings for my class include:
* Amy Tan, "Two Kinds"
* Edgar Allan Poe, "Cask of Amontillado"
* Kate Chopin "Story of an Hour"
* William Faulkner, "A Rose for Emily"
* Shirley Jackson, "The Lottery"
* Flannery O'Connor, "A Good Man is Hard to Find"
* John Donne, "The Flea"
* Andrew Marvel, "To His Coy Mistress"
* Emily Dickinson, "Because I Could Not Stop for Death"
* Seamus Heaney, "Mid-term Break"
I have to select any one (1) of these to compare with a modern (1950ish-present) piece of literature, however I don't really read modern stuff that often. I read a lot of "classics" and Hindu literature. If at all possible, I'd like to avoid the comparisons the professor suggested (like Stephen King compared to Poe) and go for something slightly off the beaten path.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
