Answer in a well-planned, five-paragraph essay. A. What makes us human? In literature as well as in life, it is the balance between the two extremes of good traits and bad traits that makes us human. Select three characters from the works of literature we have read this semester and show how these characters are human in that they each possess both good and bad traits. Use specific evidence for each character. Choose three characters from at least two works we read this semester, for a total of three characters. B. Who bears the most responsibility for the tragic events in Macbeth? Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, or fate? Explain the role that each has on the events of the play, using specific examples. Based on these, decide who bears the most responsibility. C. It’s your turn to be the teacher. Choose any three works we have read this semester and pretend you are preparing your friends for 10th grade English. What should they know about how to read each work so that they can fully understand and appreciate it? Which literary devices should they look for, for example? What background information would be helpful about the culture, time period, and author? How can they relate each work to their own lives? You must use examples and references to at least three different works we read this year. Literature to choose from: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time Black Swan Green Beowulf Le Morte d’Arthur The prologue to The Canterbury Tales The Pardoner’s Tale The Tragedy of Macbeth Poetry: “Whoso List to Hunt”, Spenser’s Sonnet 30, Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130, “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love”, and “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd”. Plan/outline your essay before you begin writing. Start the essay on a new sheet of paper. You may use (but try to limit) “be” verbs and passive voice. Write in blue or black ink, skip lines, and only write on the front side of the paper. If you realize you’ve forgotten to do this DO NOT start over! Leave 5-10 minutes at the end to proofread your essay and make corrections. Grammar and spelling count. Use specific examples from the literature to answer the question.
