Part 2: Identify and Write about Passages
The following examples received full credit for the responses shown (i.e. five points for each passage). The first page shows good responses that move easily from the specifics of the passage to larger claims about the work from which the passage was taken. The second page shows very strong responses that go beyond the task to make claims about the relationship between the passage and the time and ideas we have been studying this term.Exemplary Part 2 Responses
Part 3: Short Essay
The following example received full credit for the part 3 exam question, which by the way is very unusual. The essay is characterized by concision, focus, and specificity--an unusual but highly laudable combination. Especially interesting is how well the essay engages with a host of ideas pertinent to the novel and its times: gender, desire, female ambition, domesticity, conformity, revolution, and so forth.Exemplary Part 3 Response
