Abstract
Describes how one professor uses a classroom trial (based on Hemingway’s short story "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber") to prepare students for writing analytical essays about the story by teaching them to interrogate the text and by helping to cure the weaknesses of text-reticence and dubious deduction.
