Freshmen,
You have a test next week on Tuesday for A day and Thursday for B day. Your test will cover the autobiographical excerpts that we have read in class. Below is a list of excerpts and some ideas on what to study with each piece. This list is not all you need to know but only meant to get you started.
1. Malcolm X's "Growing Up" and "Conking"
tone, theme, irony, views of whites, racism, pride
2. Holocaust Narratives
vocabulary about the camps, roll call, selection, dehumanization
3. David Sedaris's "Go Carolina"
stereotypes, characters, tone, theme
** Honors Students, you will also see questions on "Me Talk Pretty One Day"
4. Introductory notes on autobiography, biography, and memoir
5. Rules for Good Writing
