Two short stories

We read the story "The End of Something," by Ernest Hemingway.  Here are the questions:

Express in a sentence or two what the story is about.
What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
What is Bill’s role in the story?
What does the story tell us about Nick and Marjorie’s relationship?
What questions might a reader have about the story?
 What does Hemingway leave out?

We also read "The Jockey," by Carson McCullers.
Here are those questions:

What is the setting?
What is one of the conflicts?
Why is the jockey so angry?
What is left unsaid here by the author and/or the characters?
