If any of you are interested in working on some additional essay prompts for the AP exam in Literature, you can use these:
It is always better to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning. For every one of us, living in this world means waiting for our end. Let whoever can win glory before death. When a warrior is gone, that will be his best and only bulwark.” –Beowulf
One easy step to help prepare for the exam would be to read some additional poetry. If you go to the AP Literature page, on the right side you will see a listing for poem of the day. Once you’ve read one, jot down some notes about theme, devices, and organizational strategies.
If you feel like listening to Heart of Darkness might help while you read, these links to some audio renditions might be helpful:
- Regular MP3s (less quality, but works on any player)
- Podcast (better quality, may require iTunes)
