Keep a progressive record of your responses to this short fiction as you read “Fairy Tale” for the first time. Although the author has divided it into sixteen sections, we can combine some of these to form a total of eight sections: section one, section two, section three; sections four plus five; six plus seven and eight; section nine; ten plus eleven and twelve: and, finally, sections thirteen plus fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen together. As you read each of these eight main sections, keep a record of your responses. Explain how the story makes you feel, why you feel this way, and what you think will happen next. Take time to explore your feelings. Let yourself wander through your own responses just as you wander through the story. Above all, be honest. When you have finished writing, think back over the story as a whole. Select three adjectives that you feel best describe this story. Compare your responses and choices with those of others in your class.
