Instructiоns: Chооse one of the following prompts аnd аnswer the question fully. Remember to аddress all parts of the prompt in your response, with the understanding that a response which merely summarizes the chosen text without developing and supporting a central argument will not satisfy the requirements of the quiz. Using textual evidence and what you have learned about the Realist literary movement, discuss either Chatterjee’s The Poison Tree or Ibsen’s A Doll’s House (i.e., not both) as a representative Realist text. Your response should identify specific characteristics of Realism that appear in the text you choose and should explain how direct passages from that text demonstrate those characteristics. Use at least three direct quotations and explain the significance of each quotation in relation to your overall argument, with the understanding that each quote needs its own separate paragraph in order to be analyzed fully. Using textual evidence and what you have learned about Western First-wave Feminism, discuss how either Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” or Woolf’s “A Room of One’s Own” (i.e., not both) deals directly with early feminist issues. Your response should identify specific issues for first-wave feminists in the text you choose and should explain how direct passages from the text demonstrate/illustrate those issues. Use at least three direct quotations and explain the significance of each quotation in relation to your overall argument, with the understanding that each quote needs its own separate paragraph in order to be analyzed fully. General Notes: These are open-book, open-notes quizzes. Use those resources wisely. Even if your purpose is ultimately descriptive, your response should still be centered around a main idea/thesis that you support throughout the response. Your response should demonstrate knowledge of both the text and its larger historical/literary context. Each quotation that you pull in deserves its own paragraph of analysis. Using MEAL format for each paragraph is strongly recommended. If you get stuck, use the quiz resources on the course Canvas page for guidance (particularly the model quiz).

Remember to аddress all parts of the prompt in your response, with the understanding that a response which merely summarizes the chosen text without developing and supporting a central argument will not satisfy the requirements of the quiz. Using textual evidence and what you have learned about European Romantic and early Modernist poetry, create an argument for how the poetry of W.B. Yeats serves as a bridge between the two movements. Your response should identify specific characteristics of the Romantic movement and the Modernist movement that appear in Yeats’ poetry and should explain how direct passages from Yeats’ poems demonstrate those characteristics. Use at least three direct quotations and explain the significance of each quotation in relation to your overall argument, with the understanding that each quote needs its own separate paragraph in order to be analyzed fully. Using textual evidence and what you have learned about Modernist poetry, discuss how any one poet from Weeks 7-9 serves as a representative example of Ezra Pound’s Modernist imperative to “Make it new!”. Your response should identify specific characteristics of Modernist poetry and should explain how direct passages from the poetry of your chosen author illustrate a clear break from previous forms/subjects/styles of poetry. Use at least three direct quotations and explain the significance of each quotation in relation to your overall argument, with the understanding that each quote needs its own separate paragraph in order to be analyzed fully. Using direct quotes and what you know about formal techniques in poetry, create a thesis-driven response around any one poem from Weeks 7-9 which argues for how those formal techniques might be used collectively to create a specific effect. Your response should identify at least three specific technical/formal elements used throughout the poem, with an eye towards why the author uses that technique specifically. Use at least three direct quotations and explain the significance of each quotation in relation to your overall argument, with the understanding that each quote needs its own separate paragraph in order to be analyzed fully.
