Examine the ironies and paradoxes in Marjane Satrapi’s “Shabaat” and Raymond Carver’s
“Cathedral”. How do they surface in the plot, character, action and dialogue. Use examples from the
stories. Analyze the quotes you interweave through your essay to make your argument. Stay away
from general statements . Make sure all your comments are specifically about the characters and
not generally about people in society. Offer interesting connections and insights that you gather in
the stories.
