What is the Evidence DOING?
Consider the following prompt from 2009:
I'll need to find several key scenes. First, I'll need to define what WORK the symbol is doing. Maybe I think it's highlighting or contrasting or alluding or whatever verb you choose. Second, I'll need to figure out what that symbol reveals about the characters. I'll definitely want to choose information from the BEGINNING of the work, the MIDDLE, and ABSOLUTELY THE CLIMAX. Next, I'll need evidence about what that symbol reveals about the theme or themes of the work. Remember that my theme will absolutely have to be a complete thought AND ALSO complex. Feel free to use a "Not only X, but also Y" structure with the theme here. |
