Hello!
I am a philosophy teacher and am teaching an ethics class with literature/movies mixed in. For the section on family, I had planned on doing Kate Chopin's The Awakening, but it is a little bit too long for me to ask my students to read over a weekend (I will probably use it for my fall class, but my summer class is compressed).
Could anyone recommend some short stories (less than 60ish pages) that are (preferably):
1) Classic and/or complex. Things that a well-educated college student ought to have read before they graduate.
2) Philosophically interesting. I'm looking for stories that make students question their assumptions about the world.
3) Have a strong motif or theme of family.
Thank you!
