AP Open Ended Questions

2004. Critic Roland Barthes has said, “Literature is the question minus the answer.” Choose a novel, or play, and, considering Barthes’ observation, write an essay in which you analyze a central question the work raises and the extent to which it offers answers. Explain how the author’s treatment of this question affects your understanding of the work as a whole. Avoid mere plot summary.

2001, Novelists and playwrights have often seen madness with a “discerning Eye.” Select a novel or play in which a character’s apparent madness or irrational behavior plays an important role. Then write a well-organized essay in which you explain what this delusion or eccentric behavior consists of and how it might be judged reasonable. Explain the significance of the “madness” to the work as a whole. Do not merely summarize the plot.

1997. Novels and plays often include scenes of weddings, funerals, parties, and other social occasions. Such scenes may reveal the values of the characters and the society in which they live. Select a novel or play that includes such a scene and, in a focused essay, discuss the contribution the scene makes to the meaning of the work as a whole. You may choose a work from the list below or another novel or play of literary merit.

Wuthering Heights Group Quiz

Hello literary scholars and future Comp Lit teachers,

I am sorry that I am absent from P-22 today, but fear not - I have a plan.

Please rotate your desks together and form your Lit-Analysis Leagues (formerly known as your Quad Groups).

Play "nose-goes" to select one person who needs to take out a piece of lined paper.

Everyone should take out their copy of Wuthering Heights. As a group, answer the following questions:

1) Take a close look at pages 206-208. How would you characterize Hareton as a young man? Use a quote for support.

2) Take a look at pages 222-225. How would you characterize Linton as a young man? Use a quote for support.

3) Reread page 232. Compare Cathy and Linton's "perfect days." What do these descriptions tell us about them as individuals and about their relationship?

4) Take another look at Emily Brontë's poetry. As a group, write a 10-line poem mimicking Bronte's voice, diction, and imagery. But instead of speaking as one imprisoned on the moors, write as a student imprisoned on the campus of DHS. The best group-poem will win the highly coveted "Brontë Award."

Make sure to turn in the assignment by the end of the period.
