After reading both stories, pick one of the following topics to focus on:- Which of the two short stories does the better job of dramatizing “the pain of lost love?”- Which story does the better job of dramatizing the apparent thesis that life is, in fact, a lonesome road?- Which story makes the pain and humiliation, the un-American quality of past persecution (1950s, McCarthy Era) more real and apparent? – Which of the four central characters (the two men, two women) from the two stories is, in your opinion, the ultimate victim of the unfair political persecution of the McCarthy era? Why?
