Questions:

Choose one of the poems we were assigned in this unit: Yeats’, Rilke’s, or Korryvanti’s. In your analysis, you will make a claim about the meaning of the text, support your claim with reasons why you think this is how the text might be understood, and then support those reasons with evidence from the text. Use at least one literary term we learned about to apply to the poem to support your reason.

What text did you connect with the most? Why? Support your reasons by explaining how the figurative (literary language) of the text helped you connect with the text in a way that made it more personal for you.

Explain why you think Brecht chose the play Antigone to adapt to express his thoughts on his current political situation. How does understanding classical literature or art help us make sense of our current cultural, social, or political context? (Use the play to help explain your answer.)

What is your position on the Madman in Lu Xun’s “The Diary of a Madman”—was he legitimately paranoid and suffering delusions, or do you think his madness was a peak into the absurdity he saw in society? Support your answers with evidence from the text.
