Thurs. Nov. 20, 2014: Test Prep

Today, we discussed the test that you will be writing tomorrow. I have pasted the class board notes below:


Test
·         You need to be able to summarize the novel.
·         You to be able to understand the story sequentially (in order)
·         You need to be able to identify the main characters AND their personality traits (with evidence as that is how you will be tested)
·         You will have to know the conflicts in the novel
o   Conflicts are problems that get in the way of what a person wants (I want to retire!!!!... my lack of funds is causing me problems).
o   Person vs. Self (id, ego, superego)
o   Person vs. Person (you vs. … Mr.s Waterman?)
o   Person vs. Nature (me… vs. cold)
§  Person vs. the supernatural
o   Person vs. fate
o   Person vs. society
·         Outcomes
·         Symbols (conch, glasses, fire, sea (water), lord’s head, creepers, masks)
·         Allegories (religious, psycho-social, microcosm of real world, man’s innate evil, man’s “habit” of destroying his environment)
·         Must know the words that I gave you earlier in the week.

·         Must know the major theme (man is self serving and is only controlled by the society’s rules)
