Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Explains strategies (pre-reading, class discussion, and post-discussion) for helping to expand understanding of the story’s central themes of alienation and cultural annihilation. Byrne reads Nick and Marjorie’s breakup within the context of the preceding vignette (Chapter III) and northern Michigan’s logging industry in the early twentieth century.
