HW 2/4: AP Prompt Highlighting

1. Please read through the "Question 3" prompts from AP Lit 1970-2017. 
2. For each one, highlight or underline the word or phrase that contains the essence of the prompt.
3. In the margin, please indicate a novel or play (abbreviations are fine) that would be a good choice to use in answering the prompt.
4. If you are unsure what a particular prompt is asking, or if you can't think of a novel which applies, please leave that prompt blank.  We can talk about it in class :)

Example (original):

1982. In great literature, no scene of violence exists for its own sake. Choose a work of literary merit that confronts the reader or audience with a scene or scenes of violence. In a well-organized essay, explain how the scene or scenes contribute to the meaning of the complete work. Avoid plot summary.

Example (marked up):

Their Eyes
1982. In great literature, no scene of violence exists for its own sake. Choose a work of literary merit that confronts the reader or audience with a scene or scenes of violence. In a well-organized essay, explain how the scene or scenes contribute to the meaning of the complete work. Avoid plot summary.

Please be prepared to explain your choice(s) in class.  We'll talk about the ones you feel most comfortable with -- and the ones that seem the toughest.

Example:

"I chose Their Eyes because each of the three major scenes of violence in the novel explore the question of trust and jealousy in romantic relationships -- an important stepping-stone to Janie's development as an independent character with a healthy romantic identity."
