2009-2010 World Literature Semester Exam Prep Guide

Hi. Here is your exam prep guide. You may have ONE sheet of paper with notes for the ESSAY EXAM ONLY (yes, Crispo - that means you can write on both sides). You may only use your notes on the essay exam. I encourage you to prep well.

Essay Exam Questions:
Choose one of the following prompts for your essay. Be sure to use evidence from the texts we have read, viewed, and listened to, discussions we’ve had, and class lectures to support your answer, as well as your own personal experience. In your header you must identify the type of lead and conclusion you are using. Craft a compelling title when finished.
1. Explain how all the books we read this semester are essentially Taoist in nature.
2. Explain how all the books we read this semester could be considered parables.
3. Explain how at least one of the books we read this semester acted as both a mirror and a window for you (in other words, explain how one book this semester either taught you about yourself or taught you about other people).
4. Explain a common belief shared among at least three of the main characters that we read this semester (this is not a first person This I Believe essay, but an analytical one that compares and contrasts).

There will also be a 50 question vocab review from chapters 1-7, and a 35 question multiple choice exam that covers material from your notes - focus especially on stuff from your terminology section.
