Did you know that modern Chinese literature “grew from the psychoanalytical theory of Sigmund Freud”? Designed for a world literature class, seniors are introduced to “One Evening in the Rainy Season,” Shi Zhecun’s stream of consciousness narrative. The historical context, discussion questions, and a detailed plan are included in the packet. The appendix includes images of Shanghai and an excerpt from William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury that can be used as another example of the stream of consciousness format.
