AP English Literature Periods 1&6

Study, Study, Study. The reality is that many students are more prone to select a novel they "like" or really engaged with for the Free Response Question 3. With that in mind, that may work, provided that you maximize the value of that novel. 1. Take 2 different novels, one written before 1950 and one anytime, and brainstorm a list of thematic associations with each of those novels (minimum ten associations each novel) period 6, YOU ALSO HAVE ANOTHER PRACTICE MC EXAM
2. Select any two of the student generated prompts below. Write a one to two page response, which includes theee specific quotes or passages from your text inside your response:
1. Family dynamics in a story usually have a major impact on a character, their decisions, and the ending of the work. Select a novel or play in which you analyze how family impacts the outcome of a character. Avoide mere plot summary (A. Wright)
2. Choose a novel or play in which status, identity, or appearance is important. Then, write a well developed essay in which young analyze the source of the importance or significance given to stautus, identity, or appearance. Avoid plot summary. (N. Rahmaan)
3. A numerical age doesnt always define a characters maturity. Select a text where a younger character experiences more growth and maturity than that of hus or her elders. (Y. Garcia)
4. Sometimes our enemies reflect or mirror who we are or want to be, and for that reason we clash. Select a literary work in which two characters clash because the enemy may be "the other side of the coin" of a main character. Avoid mere plot summary. (Z. Laguna)
5. In drama, often multiple characters have a moment, sparked by an event, or utterance, known as an epiphany. Identify, by listing the epiphanies of five characters in King Lear (maybe Glouchester; Edmound; Edgar; Albany, etc.) and three characters in The Glass Menagerie.
