To answer the first prompt, you can start by reviewing the literature studied this semester and choosing a work that resonated with you the most. Then, you can explain the theme of the selection and provide specific examples from the text to support your interpretation. A good way to demonstrate your understanding of the theme is to describe how it impacted the story's plot or the characters' actions.
If you choose to respond to the second prompt, you can start by selecting a character from one of the literary texts studied this semester who left a lasting impression on you. Then, you can explain how he or she is characterized in the piece by considering the character's traits, actions, interactions with other characters, and role in the plot. Providing textual evidence to support your analysis can help you to create a stronger argument.
Choose a character that you particularly liked or disliked this semester in a piece of literature. In 3–5 sentences, explain how he or she is characterized in the piece. (The story is "Saboteur: Jin" the character is the professor.)
In "Saboteur," the professor is characterized as a corrupt and arrogant authority figure who uses his power to abuse and manipulate others. He is portrayed as callous and indifferent to the suffering of the people around him, and he revels in his ability to manipulate the system to his advantage. Throughout the story, the professor's actions contribute to the escalating tension and conflict, and his eventual downfall comes across as a fitting consequence for his reprehensible conduct.
Respond in a paragraph with complete sentences. Choose one literary selection from this semester in which you think the setting has a great impact on the work. In a full paragraph, name the work, describe the setting, and explain why it is so important to the overall story or poem. (The story I chose is "Eve to Her Daughters: Wright.")
In "Eve to Her Daughters: Wright," the setting plays a pivotal role in the overall story as it provides the necessary context for understanding the struggles of black women in the United States. The poem is set in various locations throughout history, from the African motherland to the transatlantic slave trade, to the civil rights movement, and beyond. This historical context is critical to understanding the themes of oppression, resistance, and liberation that are central to the poem. The various settings provide a framework for exploring the connections between the past, present, and future, and illustrate the continued struggle for social justice and equality for all people, particularly black women. By contextualizing the experiences of black women within the broader historical narrative, the setting highlights the persistence of structural inequalities and the ongoing need for social change.
