In order to help you prepare for this I will provide the jumping off point and documents below. Open Question Tips 1. Know the verbiage. "Meaning of the work as a whole" =THEME 2. Choose ONE theme only. There are always a myriad of themes but you only need to discuss ONE SINGLE theme in depth. 3. Only answer using the specific element the questions asks for. 4. Note that almost every question says "Avoid plot summary." Remember PLOT IS A FOUR LETTER WORD. Plot means very little; it is a vehicle to get us where we need to go. Steps to answering the Open Question (PET) 1. Prompt: what does the prompt ask me to locate? 2. Evidence: Two to three examples from the text (this is where your quote log and sticky notes will be invaluable). 3. Theme: What does this tell me about life/humanity in general? Remember that all Literature (with an upper case L) teaches us about what is means to be human and attempts to offer answers to the questions, quandaries, and complications that plague humanity. SO…idk, it doesn’t speak to me, or I don’t get what he is say does not cut it. If you complete this you now have your intro, and subsequently, the outline of your paper.
Welcome to the show!
