Prompts for “The Whole Town’s Sleeping” 5-Paragraph Essay

Directions: Choose one of the prompts below to focus on for your essay. I provide multiple questions in each prompt to encourage your thinking, but you are not required to answer all of them. That would be weird. Think about the instances that stand out to you the most from the story. Not every example you highlighted can or needs to be analyzed. Your goal is to create an argument about the short story, thoroughly analyzing a specific aspect of the text without summarizing.

Prompt 2: How are temperatures used in the text?
Is there a pattern to how the temperatures are used? Are certain temperatures associated more with one particular character or scene? Why?
The temperatures will often fluctuate in the story, sometimes even changing in a single sentence. Why does Bradbury do this? How do these temperatures reflect the tone of the story or the emotions of the characters?
What do these temperatures represent in the story? (This will require you to establish your own understanding of what the temperatures represent and find the most impactful uses of that temperature in the text to analyze the significance.)

How many doctors were surveyed? How many of these doctors reported that they smoked? How many reported that they did not smoke?

Assignment

In a 1985 study, Breslow (cited in Hand et al., 1994) examined the death rates from coronary heart disease in a set of British male physicians. He also classified the doctors according to whether or not they smoked cigarettes. The table below shows the number of physicians who died from coronary heart disease.

Age, smoking, and heart disease in a sample of male physicians

Age (in years) Nonsmokers Smokers
35-44 2 32
45-54 12 104
55-64 28 206
65-74 28 186
75-84 31 102

Use the data to answer the following questions:

  1. How many doctors were surveyed?
  2. How many of these doctors reported that they smoked? How many reported that they did not smoke?
  3. What is the probability that a person who died of coronary heart disease was between the ages of 35 and 44? Within this age group (i.e., 34 to 44), what is the probability that the person was a smoker?
  4. What is the probability that someone who died of coronary heart disease between the ages of 75 and 84 was a smoker?
  5. At what age range from the table above is smokers the highest proportion of those who died from coronary heart disease?
