Subject
Humanities
Question Description
Instructions is attached below.
Theme: Identify and discuss the basic theme of the work. (If there are multiple themes,
choose the one you think is most important.)
Imagery: Explain the imagery of the work and show how it works to develop the theme Remember
that imagery includes descriptive language, sensory language, metaphors, and similes.
Symbols: Explain any symbols and how they work to support the theme. Be wary of finding
symbols where none exists. A northern tempest, for example, does not symbolize cold,
windy weather because a northern tempest is cold, windy weather. It may, however, stand
for approaching disaster, for example, because this type of weather often brings with it
storms of considerable force. Such an interpretation, of course, must be in accord with the
theme and imagery of the novel; therefore, you must argue logically and present sufficient
details to support your contention of symbolic content.
