Paper 2: Breaking down the Question

May 2005 (a): how far, and in what ways, do writers present isues of self-awareness and/or self-deception in two or three of the novels or short stories you have studied?

-How do writers portray characters that go through a journey of either self-awarness and realization and aelf-deception or shying away from reality

-I believe this question focuses on style of writing, because i would use As I Lay Dying and The Bluest Eye to answer it, and I could address how in AILD there is evidence of self-awareness and self-deception particularly concerning the women in the novel, and how in TBE, here is a level of self-deception in regards to Pecola.

May 2007 (b): Literature is often about crossing boundaries, both physically and mentally. In what ways, and to what extent, does the crossing of boundaries contribute to two or three works you have studied?

-How did the writers create novels that crossed boundaries or barriers in Literature durign their times.

-i believe this focuses on style of writing also, and I would write about ASILD and TBE, because I could write about Faulkner participating in Modernism and Morrison contributing to Post-Modernism and focus on the themes that are out of the boundaries of writing for their times.

Very good analysis of the two questions. I dont think I would have used style of writing or the same things you did in what you said you would write about so reading your post really helped me see new ways to look at the text. Nice job.

I really like your choice of questions and I think that Both would go well with the books you chose. You also might be able to look at Metamorphasis for the personal journey question. Good Job.
