Blog Style

New Approach for Blogging Pride and Prejudice.

You need to Blog 2 out of every 3 nights. That means 10 total blogs (please list by corresponding blog title from the Reading schedule, i.e. P&P 3)

In your blog I would like you to use a new style:
1 Quotation response (what you've been doing)
1 Multiple choice question:
Referring to the handout about the multiple choice section from the AP exam, I would like you to create a multiple choice question from the reading. You may refer to a specific page, the reading in general, or a specific line from the text (if a page, list the page #, if a general section describe the section, if a line incorporate the line in the question).

So, in total you will need to have 1 quotation, 1 quote response, and 1 multiple choice question 2 out of every 3 nights for a total of 10.

Huck Finn Essay Topics

Huck Finn Essay Topics:

Directions: Compose a paper of a least 3 pages answering one of the following questions. Your paper should be focused, clearly written, and error free. In answering these questions make sure that each article of support you introduce sheds light on your main argument. Include a works cited page. Your final draft will be due on March 23rd.


1. How does Huck’s upbringing help him to act outside of the influence of the corrupted society he belongs to?
2. How can the character Jim be read as an anti-slavery argument? What does he represent and how does he act that demonstrates Twain is clearly against slavery?
3. How do Tom and Huck contrast one another? Specifically, consider their upbringings and how they treat others.
4. How is the novel a social critique of the mid-1800’s south?
