Writing Assignment for "The Best Sort of Husband" (This counts as an essay grade---so please take it seriously) It must be completed in class today as it is a timed assignment.

In the story, "The Best Sort of Husband" by Susan B. Kelly, the author shows us two different views of what "the best sort of husband" is--the view of men on page 293 (from yesterday), and the view of Margaret on page 301.

Your assignment: You will need to use a minimum of 3 specific textual examples in your response.

*Compare and contrast these two views and explain using information you know about love and marriage in this time period if necessary. Use specific textual examples in your answer.

*Explain the author's use of literary elements and techniques such as: characterization, conflict, irony, etc. to show the audience these two views. Use specific textual examples in your answer.
