<p>i love 1984 but anyways, i used Nora Helmer from A Doll's House for my open ended....and i didn't like the prose at all.</p>
<p>in the end, the exam was fair.</p>
<p>I second jaynele. In describe the meaning of a work, sometimes we have to look at the devices that the author uses to contribute to that meaning. And my referral to the "light and dark imagery" that Wharton used was minimal, merely a sentence. I felt that it helped to show Ethan's quandary of whether to leave his marriage or not, a problem that he had to face, and of which changed him. And if I'm castigated for that, by all means...</p>
<p>Did anyone else use Great Expectations for the last one? I did and thought the prompt was basically written for that book. Anyone?</p>
<p>darkrulerII hit the nail on the head. that's what the other 2 essays are for.</p>
<p>the books everyone used varies a lot, anyway I used Death of a Salesman. thought it was perfect for the prompt. tons of memories of the past mixed in the play. my timing was pretty good, finished with 10 minutes to spare. </p>
<p>I thought the hardest of the three was father and son relationship. Other than loving, sad, regretful, and coming of age, there was nothing profound to write about.</p>
<p>i basically hate literary analysis and will be happy with a 4.
i used death of a salesman too</p>
