What do you think the writing prompts will be on for the exam?


 * Topic || Explanation || Supporting Examples ||
 * "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" + the "Great American Novel"? || The prompt will be about what characteristics make "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" the "Great American Novel." || A prompt was given in class today about which characteristics of the "Great American Novel" make "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" just that. ||
 * Foil Huck and Tom || We will have to compare and contrast Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer (the characters, not the novels) || We had a worksheet for a homework assignment in which we had to foil Huck and Tom, and we also had the in class essay in which we foiled Huck and Tom ||
 * The Theme of Huckleberry Finn || The prompt will be asking what the theme of the novel is, and in what events of the story is that theme is evident. || We were given a worksheet/chart in class that contains many themes and events. For example: the theme of testing morals is evident in Huck's home life, Tom Sawyer's gang, Jackson Island/Sarah Williams, Walter Scott, Fog/Cairo- Huck's trick on Jim, Small Pox, Peter Wilks (king and duke), Huck's big moment, Aunt Sally's farm, and the Evasion Sequence. See the theme page of the study guide! ||
 * Discuss how Huck has changed. Whether it be towards Jim, or towards Tom Sawyer || The prompt should be about how Huck's actions/thoughts change towards Tom or Jim || We were given a worksheet for homework to foil Huck and Tom, and to write how Huck's opinion of Jim has changed throughout certain chapters, using ideas from that, you would write the essay. Such as, how in the beginning of the story Huck sees Jim as some ordinary slave, but by the end he sees Jim as a kind, and compassionate human being. Or you could talk about how Huck follows Tom in the beginning but then eventually becomes his own person. ||
