Section Two : Essay Questions, Long Response
For this section, choose two (2) questions to answer exhaustively. You may incorporate ideas we have
discussed in class into your answers, as well as your own ideas and argumentation—or ideas you learned
in other classes that relate. Reference other texts we have read if you need to make a comparison!
However, please be careful NOT to summarize the stories; instead, use direct quotes from the text to
illustrate your ideas. If you summarize, you will not receive credit. (These answers should be longer than
the short response section, closer to 350-400 words per response.)
