Read the guide.
On one side are the definitions and details about each term. Make sure that you know the terms and note the ones that are not so familiar.
Each term has its own page of questions. Look at the questions for each of the terms and choose 4 (each student chooses 4) from different terms (one from setting; one from theme etc.) that could be answered by anyone who reads the story, “The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse.”
Put your list of four questions as a comment to this post. Enjoy your long weekend!
Vika should buy a copy of "The Glass Menagerie" from a teacher in the lab to read on the plane! If you see her on Tuesday, please remind her . . .

Here's a question that would be interesting to answer:
What do we learn about the nature of human perception from the author's handling of First Person and especially Limited Omniscient narration? (page 12; Question 2) Answer follows:
Aram’s Story: Limited Omniscient Point of View
In "The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse," a limited omniscient narrator, Aram, tells the story as an adult looking back on childhood. Considering how adults might be a bit sentimental in their memories, readers may take his words a bit less seriously. Remember, too, that "life was still a delightful and mysterious dream" to Aram then and, clearly, that has changed as that was "back there in the good old days." Aram's perceptions, while amusing and childlike, are also filtered through the lens of mature adult experience. The story is richer because of its well-chosen point of view.—99 words; first draft.
