Final
One of these five questions will be randomly chosen for you,
you will 1 ½ hours to
complete this essay.
1. In The Yellow Wallpaper, the narrator reports at the end of
her story that John faints. Did
Gilman intend this incident as a suggestion that the doctor and
men in general are really no
stronger than women emotionally? Explain your answer.
2. In A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings, how does the
priest react to the man with wings?
What does his response symbolize?
3. F. Scott Fitzgerald makes a bold commentary about class and
social standing in The Curious
Case of Benjamin Button. Explain whether you believe it to be
the story of society’s refusal
to accept anyone who is different.
http://www.sonnets.org/basicforms.htm
4. In The Story of an Hour, the story says Mrs. Mallard "had
loved him [her husband]--
sometimes. Often she did not." If she was "often" not in love
with him, why did she marry
18. him?
5. In The Bet, the lawyer writes that he has experienced all
kinds of things in books: love,
hunting, mountain climbing, storms, miracles, religions, wars,
etc. Is reading about something
the same as experiencing it? Which is better and why?
