Task: respond to one of the following prompts using 200 words. No outside sources besides the book This way for the Gas, ladies, and Gentlemen. (I don’t have a copy but there is plenty of info on it online.)
Reread the last story of Borowski’s collection, “The World of Stone.” (chapter 10)
- Compare the first paragraph of the story with the last story. Consider the change in tone between them.
- What do you think the story says about the rest of the collection? How well does it act as a “conclusion” to the book? You might consider what happened to Borowski later.
