Part 1
Your reading quiz is to answer the question (edits mine) below, which was the AP open question in 2011. You should circle the "illuminating moment" in your answer and then underline the evidence that explains how it opens into the meaning of the work as a whole. Underline twice where you explain the meaning of the work as a whole. If you merely give plot summary, it's an automatic zero.
In The Writing of Fiction (1925), novelist Edith Wharton states the following:
At every stage in the progress of his tale the novelist must rely on what may be called the illuminating incident to reveal and emphasize the inner meaning of each situation. Illuminating incidents are the magic casements of fic- tion, its vistas on infinity.
Choose a novel or play that you have studied and write a well-organizedessay paragraph in which you describe an “illuminating” episode or
moment and explain how it functions as a “casement,” a window that opens onto the meaning of the work as a whole. Avoid mere
plot summary.
