Author Sketches:
During our study of the various genres, you learned a great deal about different authors. You should review information about these authors:
• William Shakespeare
• Harper Lee
• William Golding
You may want to pay particular study to:
• The time period in which he/she wrote.
• Major themes common to his/her work.
• Create index cards about each author.
• Pay particular attention to the genre. (Bildungsroman, tragedy, hero story, etc.)

Review the works that we have read for symbolism, characterization, figurative language, imagery, important plot moments (conflict, climax), etc.
• Go through your notes and look for details about imagery.
• Create short outlines about major characters and their traits, or at the very least some index cards related to characters in these works.
• Look for important quotes (You'll have to identify the speaker and the relevance of some of these on the final)
• Review Diction, Syntax Vocab.
Literary Analysis:
You will be required to demonstrate significant THEMES and MOTIFS in a few works that we have read. You are already versed with the analysis of theme through examples, but you should review in order to be prepared.
• Lord of the Flies
• Merchant of Venice
• To Kill a Mockingbird
