Hopefully you've actually read it. If you haven't - READ IT. It really isn't that long. Even if you have read it I suggest you re-read it if you aren't a good reader or even if you aren't. Reading it out loud helps too and so does l o o k i n g u p w o r d s you don't know. One thing I will tell you: look for IRONY. The whole story is irony. My teacher who's been a teacher for 40 years really stressed that. The beginning is all "Oh it's so lovely Mother!" and the girl worrying about how it looks and then a guy dies. When you re-read it (you should!) look for irony. Irony, irony, irony. Major, major, major.
