Your final exam will be a 75 question multiple choice exam. Each question is worth 2 points, for a total of 150 points. These are the topics that will be covered on the exam:
-Thomas Foster's theories from How to Read Literature Like a Professor, which may include but are not limited to water, blindness, flight, quests, deformations, and geography.
-The 10% Solution.
-The various introduction and conclusion techniques we have studied.
-Literary concepts and reading strategies we have studied, such as irony, conflict, theme, prediction, and visualization.
-Terms from your Glossary of Literary Terms.
-Rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos, as well as those covered in They Say I Say regarding how to cite another's words.
-Other stuff we have studied this trimester.
NOTE: You will NOT need to know plot details from any of the texts we have studied, though you will be asked to apply various literary concepts, as well as concepts related to the two pillars of the course (This I Believe and the Tao te Ching), to the books we have read. For example, you may be asked to identify how the sage from the Tao te Ching is represented in The Alchemist (various responses could include Santiago, The King of Salem, the Alchemist himself, or Fatima). Or you may be asked something like "Which character had the personal belief that the 'universe conspires to help us'?" and given a list that might include Pi, Santiago, and Jean-Dominique Bauby. Of course, Santiago would be the correct response. Have fun and study with your friends.
