I use Welty's "Why I Live at the P.O." for both humor and to
illustrate an unreliable narrator. I read from Clyde
Edgerton's "Floatplane Notebooks." The selection about the
younger brother falling into the old well is hilarious.
Students get so tickled! They began to understand that is it
all about predicting.
