Start today by researching about the life and art of Chaim Soutine. You will find that Roald Dahl put a historical person into his story. See if you can find the painting of the wind blown tree mentioned in the beginning. Read what you can find about the painter's life.
Next, look at the following worksheet about Identifying Themes in Literature. Study the themes listed in the link, then and use details from the life of Chaim Soutine, combined with what you have read so far of the story "Skin," to answer the questions about Theme in this worksheet as well as you can.
Copy the questions and your answers in a Google Doc titled: [your name] "Skin" Theme. Answer in complete sentences with supporting details.
If you need to look at the story again, here is a link to "Skin" online. Do not read past line 80 or you will spoil the story for when we read next week.
