AP Lit

Y'all, I am so sorry. I don't know what to do other than what I am going to have to do. I have jury duty again on Friday. I don't want to spread HOD out over two weeks (Wed- Fri of next week, I have to leave things you can do on your own because I won't be here). So I am going to have to completely rearrange the calendar and move Heart of Darkness to two weeks from now. You'll need to refresh yourselves on the notes and Part 1 before the day we do Part 2. I. HATE. IT. But I can't afford to lose time and I have to be there for HOD. SO. Here's the new plan:

Macbeth Word Tracing Essay

You have been tracing your word throughout the entire play. For this assignment, you will need to turn in your word tracing notes (a list of the places the word was mentioned) as well as the essay.  For your essay question, you are to frame a thesis in which you discuss the progression of the play through the lens of or perspective of your key word. In other words, how does “blood” shape the play? How does the use of “night “ change over the context of the play? How does the meaning of “sleep” change depending on who is using it? (Those are all just ideas. This is all completely on you and it is very likely that no two essays will look at all the same.) Come up with a valid thesis, then write a solid essay in which you back that thesis using textual evidence. DO NOT SUMMARIZE THE PLOT. I’m so excited to read these! This is due FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK.

Independent Love Month Book

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-organized essay 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.
