For the final exam (OM2741 - 7:00PM - Monday - Dec 4)
You will be given one reading (which you have not seen before).
Possible questions you will be asked are:
Using supporting quotes from the story....
- Compare and contrast the setting of this story with one you have read during the term.
- Describe the two types of conflict in this story.
- Identify the point of view of this story, and discuss how it impacts on the meaning of the story.
- Write an analysis of the inner actions of the character in this story.
- Discuss the tone of this story.
- How has the author used symbolism to enhance this story.
- Outline (draw) a plot diagram for this story, using the correct names for each part of the plot.
Define "imagery" and explain why writers use imagery in their stories.
Describe two types of irony and give an example of each from stories we have read during the term.
Explain the differences between "simile" and "metaphor" and give 2 examples for each one.
You will also be asked to write a brief paragraph related to our booktalks. For the booktalk question - I am simply asking that you choose one person, and their book and make general comments on the book. The purpose of this question is to see if you were paying attention and listening to others.
NOTE!!!
Cindy C. has raised some excellent comments about the irony information on this blog. I will post her comments soon (if she does not) so that others can see them and make comments.
Thank you
Linda
