EXAMPLE OF THEMES IN "SHORT STORIES FOR STUDENTS"
Short Stories for Students, Drama for Students and Poetry for Students are a series of volumes presenting analysis, context, and criticism on commonly studied short stories, drama and poetry. The texts of the story or play are not included in these volumes. In Poetry for Students, the texts of poems are included in most cases. To find a short story on your subject or theme, use the Subject/Theme Index in the back of each volume. For example, in the screenshot below and under the theme of "Dual Cultural Life of the Immigrant," there is a story entitled This Blessed House with the page numbers. The author is not listed in the index. The short stories, poems and plays in these volumes are arranged alphabetically by title. To find the author, look up the title of the short story and find the author. The story was written by Jumpa Lahiri. Once you have the author, and to find out whether or not we have the story in our collection, search the Library Catalog. When searching for a short story in the Library Catalog, use quotation marks (" ") when the title of your short story is two words or longer. Example: "This blessed house"
