SENIORS Study Guide

Hello my seniors. Almost half-way there!

There are fifty(!) questions on Brave New World. These questions are really kinda basic actually; they are really more about remembering names and facts and events from the book. The questions aren't that deep but will test your knowledge of the book. Your essays are how I judged your deeper understanding of the book.

There are eleven questions about Beowulf. These questions are not only about the names and events, but also the motivations of the characters.

There are thirty-two questions about Canterbury Tales. Why so many? We have three chapters, essentially, to cover. The Prologue, The Wife's Tale and the Pardoner's Tale are all covered. As with Beowulf, you not only need to know the main characters and the main events of the plot, but also their motivations.

The remaining forty-two questions are about Macbeth, asking specific questions about each act. Again, know the main characters (mainly Macbeth to be honest), the things they do, and their motivations for them.

All of these works of literature, except obviously Brave New World, are in your large literature book. It's big, it's heavy, but you'll need to review what's inside them. You have your copy of Brave New World with you; I'd also review your dialectical journals to help you remember what is going on.

If you have specific questions, remember, I might not be able to answer them but I will try to do my best. Please ask them here so that everyone has a chance to see the answers.

Good luck!
