Ideas:
- cannibals and whites
- dying natives in trees and white chief manager (the white man who wears white and has white hands in Chapter 1)
- "The Hollow Men" and Kurtz/Marlow/ OR Existentialism (you will not have room for all three)
- Kurtz's two women (the Intended and the Savage Woman)
- the wilderness/jungle as a character that brings about change in Kurts or Marlow or both
- man's depravity without cultural and spiritual boundaries
- Kurtz's epiphany vs. Marlow's inaction
After finding your selection/selections, I would print them out so that you are not having to flip pages, etc.
Next, you will write a prompt that will be appropriate to that excerpt. Here is a template for you to use as a guide.
Carefully read the following excerpt from the novel Under the Feet of Jesus by Helena María Viramontes. Then write a well-organized essay in which you analyze the development of Estrella’s character. In your analysis, you may wish to consider such literary elements as selection of detail, figurative language, and tone.
Collect your thoughts~mark your quotes, etc.
Finally, set your timer for 40 minutes. Begin writing your essay.
