Possible Essay Topics for IOBE

http://www.foreignbooksonline.com/images/The%20Importance%20of%20Being%20Earnest.jpg

Here are three topics that would work with the play IOBE. I will be choosing one of them for the essay test. These are released questions from previous AP Literature classes. You may not use notes on the test, but you can prepare by thinking about possibilities for these three topics.

1. Many writers use a country setting to establish values within a work of literature. For example, the country may be a place of virtue and peace or one of primitivism and ignorance. Choose a novel or play in which such a setting plays a significant role. Then write an essay in which you analyze how the country setting functions in the work as a whole.

 2. Some novels and plays seem to advocate changes in social or political attitudes or in traditions. Choose such a novel or play and note briefly the particular attitudes or traditions that the author apparently wishes to modify. Then analyze the techniques the author uses to influence the reader's or audience's views. Avoid plot summary.

 3. In some novels and plays certain parallel or recurring events prove to be significant. In an essay, describe the major similarities and differences in a sequence of parallel or recurring events in a novel or play and discuss the significance of such events. Do not merely summarize the plot.

Read the following story by Sherwood Anderson:

"I'm a Fool"

Once you are done, I want you to think about a thesis statement that answers the same question as we had in class for "How to Become a Writer":

How is the narration in “I'm a Fool” made to seem either reliable or unreliable?
