Sample of Related History & Literature on Shmoop
- There's a Certain Slant of Light
The story within a story, An Imperial Affliction, is a fictional story (inside a fictional story), and its title is based on a real poem by real author Emily Dickinson. (Confused yet?) Shmoop's got a guide to the poem so your students can go through line by line, figure out what in the world Emily's talking about, and see how the poem fits with the novel (and the novel in a novel). - Is There a Doctor in the House?
In this modern world we still need them: caring doctors, brilliant scientists, and efficient nurses. It takes hard work to learn enough about the human body to be trusted to actually work it, but it's totally worth it if you're interested in that sort of thing. If you have some students who are, Shmoop's career guides offer info on all kinds of health professions.
