Write 3 аdjectives in Spаnish tо describe yоurself.
Yоu hаve 3 hоurs tо produce 5 totаl responses. PART I - Short Fiction – Short Answer IDs Test: You must аddress 2 formal analytical responses from below. Number your paper accordingly. Read the excerpts below and, considering its context within the story, explain the significance of 2 of the following fiction terms: literary/commercial quality, conflict, point of view (of the narrator), irony, foreshadowing, symbolism, imagery, characterization, setting, theme and/or social-historical significance of 2 entire quotes below. Significance here can be theme or any other dominant literary element. Don't analyze the same terms in all of your analyses: be sure to analyze at least 5 different above terms somewhere in your Part I responses. Moreover, be sure to analyze the significance of the literary term(s), not just the term itself, explaining its importance or value for what it reveals to the reader regarding life, human nature and/or the world as illustrated in the story. Start with a clear thesis sentence and end with a clear clincher; as well, be sure to identify the story, author and context of each quote as well. Each response can be adequately answered in 150-200 words (plus 3-4 relevant quotes). "The next day he received two more complaints, one from a man who came in diffident deprecation. 'We really must do something about it, Judge. . . .'Damn it, sir, . . . will you accuse a lady to her face of smelling bad?'" 'I'll go with you and I'll stay with you all the time. They just let the air in and then it's all perfectly natural.' 'Then what will we do afterwards?' 'We'll be fine afterwards. Just like we were before.' 'What makes you think so?' 'That's the only thing that bothers us. It's the only thing that's made us unhappy.' Seemingly for the first time he saw the drooping, drowning woman at the other man's side. "No!" he said. He was like a creature allowed a glimpse of another world. He moved a pace backward, and his arm with the revolver dropped to his side. "Is this the lady?" he asked. "Yes, this is the lady," . . . There was another period of silence. "Well . . . I s'pose it's all off now." He was not a man of chivalry; it was merely in the presence of this foreign condition he was a simple child of earlier plains." "No! No! No! It was impossible. Her hands clutched the iron in frenzy. Amid the seas she sent a cry of anguish. . . . She set her white face to him, passive, like a helpless animal. Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition. "A short time afterward the child woke up without a fever and with a desire to eat. Then they felt magnanimous[meaning generous of spirit]. . . ." "Just at that moment a boy and girl came and sat down where the old couple had been. They were beautifully dressed; they were in love. . . And still soundlessly singing . . . . [She] prepared to listen." PART II – Poetry Short Answer - The same directions in part I apply here: YOU CANNOT RESPOND TO ONE OF YOUR POEMS WRITTEN ABOUT. Here, you must respond to 3 poems on the pages listed below for your class that you haven't been graded on before in a written essay(if you presented on it only, you can use that poem but not if it was the poem analyzed in an essay). Explain the thematic significance of 2 poetic elements in these poems: use only symbolism, speaker, imagery, irony, figurative language, point of view(of speaker), title, tone, theme, sound or structure. Go in any order but be sure to list by poem title (Poem #1 "Mother to Son"; Poem #2 "Suicide's Note,"). The same directions in Part I basically apply; however, here you have to analyze the thematic significance of 2 of the poetic devices. So with the poetry you must focus the poetic elements on theme: how does irony and imagery, for instance, or tone and figurative language, reflect the theme of the poem? But don't analyze the same terms for each poem: at minimum, analyze at least 5 of the above terms somewhere in your Part II responses. p. 339 – 344 - 438 – 463 – 470 - 471
