Description
In this lesson, students complete their reading and analysis of "The Red Convertible.” Students read pages 4–10, in which Stephan returns from the Vietnam War, and Marty describes the events leading up to the final moments of Stephan’s life. Analysis focuses on how elements in the text impact the development of the relationship between two central characters in this excerpt. Students consider the setting of the river, the dialogue and interactions between the two brothers, and how Erdrich uses the red convertible both literally and symbolically to develop and refine the relationship between the two brothers.
