Essay 3
APRIL 18 BRING IN DRAFTS FOR REVIEW
1141
APRIL 20 FINAL PAPER DUE
1)
Explain
the role of God and/or religion in (at least TWO) “A Good Man is Hard to Find”,
“A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings” and Life
of Pi. Use examples from the texts along with outside sources to support
your thesis.
2)
The issue
of whether The Misfit had grace or not was discussed in class. Pick a side of
the argument and defend your thesis with outside sources and examples from the
text.
3)
Explain
the role of magical realism in “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings” and Life of Pi. Pick out three examples from
these two and explain how they can be described as magical realism. Use
examples from the texts along with outside sources to support your thesis.
"Hills Like White Elephants"
4) As we discussed in class, men and
women talk to each other in very different ways. Using “Hills Like White
Elephants” as proof, describe how this man and woman in the story are a good
example of that difference. How do they differ? What is their relationship
like?
5) We also discussed what the couple was talking about. Some people
believed it was an abortion while others were not convinced. Pick a side of the
argument and use an outside source that backs up your stance.
"The Things They Carried"
6))
When Jimmy Cross understands that Ted
Lavender is really dead, and that he might have prevented it, his whole outlook
changes. Before, he couldn't get Martha out of his head. He was a daydreamer
and a lover more than he was a soldier, and he thought often about that. But
afterward, he understands that when someone dies, that can't be changed. It
makes him realize his duty, and he is suddenly able to distance himself from
everything that used to be important in his life. He understands that he is now
living in another world and that he is a soldier whether he wants to be or not.
In this essay, show how Jimmy Cross changes over the course of the story.
7)
Choose one of the characters and
describe how the things he carried (emotional and physical) help tell the
reader about the person he is.
