Compassion and Sacrifice Essential Questions

Our second marking period theme deals with compassion and sacrifice.  Here are the essential questions.  Remember, so far, we have read "A & P," by John Updike, and "The Yellow Wallpaper," by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

1) How can perspective affect the reader's understanding of compassion and/or sacrifice?  
2) What motivates characters/individuals to be (or not to be) compassionate and/or to sacrifice?  
3) When characters/individuals decide to be (or not to be) compassionate and/or to sacrifice, what internal and/or external conflicts might they face?  
4) What are the outcomes of acts of compassion and/or sacrifice?  
5) How are characters/individuals ultimately affected by compassion and/or sacrifice?
