Those of you who weren't in class on Friday, we modified the test a little bit. You're going to do this last portion at home.
This is an Advanced Placement English exam question. Set a timer for 45 minutes, read the question, and HAND-WRITE your answer. It is to be written in essay format (introduction, body, conclusion). Do not use specific quotations from the book - just your own knowledge of the text is fine.
Here is the question:
One of the strongest human drives seems to be a desire for power. Write an essay in which you discuss how a character in The Scarlet Letter struggles to free himself or herself from the power of others or seeks to gain power over others. Be sure to demonstrate in your essay how the author uses this power struggle to enhance the meaning of the work.
There is no length requirement on this essay - however, you should be able to plan and complete it in a 45 minute time period. Good luck!
