Write a brief paragraph addressing the question and
including specific evidence to support your ideas.
1. Ernest
Hemingway is perhaps the most famous American fiction writer of the twentieth
century, but many critics have attacked his work for what they perceive as its
misogyny. Looking at “Kilimanjaro,” do
you see evidence to support or oppose the idea that Hemingway disliked or
simply did not understand women?
2. William
Faulkner’s work is almost entirely concerned with the American South in the
decades after the Civil War and with the racial and class politics of that
time. How is that reflected in these
works? What is the relationship between
class and race in Faulkner’s stories?
4. F. Scott
Fitzgerald’s writing is often concerned with the role of class in American
life, and specifically with the nature of either being or wishing to be,
rich. Discuss the role money plays in
the life of the characters in “Babylon Revisited.”
