On a 3” by 5” index card or paper, prepare an outline for each of these possible essay questions. Be sure to include brief quotes to use as evidence in your essay. We will select one of these questions at random just before the test. You may use only your index card for reference during the test.
1. Compare and contrast the character Dexter from Fitzgerald’s “Winter Dreams” with the character George from Anderson’s “Sophistication.” You may consider their actions, thoughts, speech, and/or physical descriptions. You may also consider how each character is perceived by others.
2. One common theme in modern fiction is the realization that isolation and loneliness are typical of the human condition. Explore how Anderson develops this theme in “Sophistication.”
3. As above, but explore how Hemingway develops the same theme in “In Another Country.”
