This week's topic is Irony. Again. (It's the predominant tone of contemporary writing, so get used to it.)
Welcome to the final week of your summer vacation reading (one more week of discussion boards after this). This week's stories were chosen by Mr. Barbee, who many of you will have for AP English III during your junior year.
"The Bet" by Anton Chekhov (audio file)
"The Yellow Pill" by Rog Phillips (sorry, no audio file for this one).
To download the audiofile for "The Bet" to listen to on your MP3 device, please right-click the link and choose "save." The audiofile should supplement your reading, not replace it; you are still required to read "The Bet" if that's the story you choose (reading both would be nice, but that's not required).
