50 points
V. A symbol is an object, action, or event that represents something or that creates a range of
associations beyond itself. In literary works a symbol can express an idea, clarify meaning, or enlarge
literal meaning. Select a novel or play and, focusing on one symbol, write an essay analyzing how that
symbol functions in the work and what it reveals about the characters or themes of the work as a whole.
Do not merely summarize the plot.
W. In literary works, cruelty often functions as a crucial motivation or a major social or political factor.
Select a novel, play, or epic poem in which acts of cruelty are important to the theme. Then write a welldeveloped essay analyzing how cruelty functions in the work as a whole and what the cruelty reveals
about the perpetrator and/or victim.
X. An effective literary work does not merely stop or cease; it concludes. In the view of some critics, a
work that does not provide the pleasure of significant closure has terminated with an artistic fault. A
satisfactory ending is not, however, always conclusive in every sense; significant closure may require the
reader to abide with or adjust to ambiguity and uncertainty. In an essay, discuss the ending of A Separate
Peace. Explain precisely how and why the ending appropriately or inappropriately concludes the work.
Y. A bildungsroman, or coming-of-age novel, recounts the psychological or moral development of its
protagonist from youth to maturity, when this character recognizes his or her place in the world. Select a
single pivotal moment in the psychological or moral development of the protagonist of A Separate Peace.
Then write a well-organized essay that analyzes how that single moment shapes the meaning of the work
as a whole.
Z. In a novel by William Styron, a father tells his son that life is a search for justice. Choose a
character from A Separate Peace who responds in some significant way to justice or injustice. Then write
a well-developed essay in which you analyze the characters understanding of justice, the degree to which
the characters search for justice is successful, and the significance of this search for the work as a whole.
