For those of you who are interested, you can do one of the following essay options for extra credit. The amount of credit you earn will depend on the quality of your essay – no minimum is guaranteed, though I think I will go as high as 50 points for something that is really dynamite. Of course, it goes without saying that you should quote often from the text to support your opinion, and that outside research might earn you bonus points, if it is cited correctly. The more difficult the prompt, the more likely you are to earn the full 50 points. Here are the prompts, from toughest to easiest.
1. Each of the four surviving narrators deals with guilt in a distinct way. Examine how each narrator deals with her guilt, as well as the source of that guilt.
2. Each Price daughter has a distinctive relationship to language. Choose one of the girls and analyze how her relationship with language defines her personality.
3. Write an I Remember My Mother essay from the point of view of the daughter your group focused on.
If you wrote all three, I might be persuaded to give you credit for all three of them…
Have a great break. Come forward into the light.
