Dr. McDermott's English 235 Syllabus

The Final Exam will probably include:

Objective questions (quote identification, some matching or mult. choice) on Oroonoko, "Essay on Man," "A Modest Proposal," and Gulliver's Travels (about 30 points)

Passage from Gulliver or "Modest Proposal" with questions (probably about satire) for analysis (about 20 points)

Essay Question -- cumulative (about 50 points) -- use the Study Grid below to practice making connections among the works we have read this semester. Think about how they relate to a variety of themes and topics: both what they have in common and what distinguishes one example from another. What makes them differ? Genre? Audience? Character? Time period?
