Excavating (Mining) a Text: Dickens, Moore, and O. Henry

Today we are going to divide the class into three groups: one group for each of the stories.

Each group should choose one member to be the typist. Everybody is a detective collecting evidence. Or maybe it's better to think of yourself as a miner looking for rare gems or diamonds. Most of the "stuff" in a mine is not valuable.

Where in your story does the author write directly about art and artists? Capture this information and put it directly into a discussion board post on our Populi page. Make a list of these instances. Be sure to copy the excerpt exactly. In Latin, this is called verbatim.  Also, remember to include a page number in parentheses following your quotation.  Please post your findings no later than fifteen minutes before the conclusion of class.
