    am i allowed to use not very known plays within the last open question as long as i’m able to explain? for example, i performed in one and read it and i feel like i could really explain it well

    • @meepst6267

      it has to be one of the works listed in question 3 like Frankenstein although it is not guaranteed to be on there.

      I’m sure you are, as long as you properly cite it with the official name of the play and the playwright. good luck!

    • @frogg9021
      @frogg9021 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      As long as it falls into the category of literature( put simply, an old “sophisticated” piece) so anything by Shakespeare or other well respected authors. The 3rd prompt will give a list of books it recommends but if the play you want to write about is a piece of literature by a well respected author that would fit itself nicely to the prompt then go ahead.

    • @michaellepierre8034

      It doesn’t have to be one of the books listed below

    • @meahlive9124
      @meahlive9124 ปีที่แล้ว

      It has to be "of considerable literary merit" If it's a shakespearean play, that would work better :) If it's Phantom of the Opera, that would also be good! I wouldn't choose it if it's something that not a lot of people know, and if it's not likely to get past the AP graders' standards of "considerable literary merit"

    should we add something in the essays about human condition?

    • @englishnerd5580
      @englishnerd5580  ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s not necessary unless they ask about it. You should include the overall message to the reader, though, which should be something universal.

    • @rondon7145
      @rondon7145 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Know at least three works of literary merit to be able to reference back to if needed. Ex: the metamorphosis, crime and punishment, beloved, a modest proposal, bartleby …. Etc

    • @germane9098
      @germane9098 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@rondon7145 Thank you for the advice (I enjoyed the metamorphosis too!). Do you know if there are requirements for the books that you’re allowed to write on? I assume you can’t just write about any work of literature. I’m currently thinking of Oedipus Rex as being one of them, since I know it so well, but idk.

    • @englishnerd5580
      @englishnerd5580  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Any work of literary merit, they say. Oedipus would be great! The most important thing is how specifically and persuasively you can talk about it.

    Do we need to use direct quotes for the last essay? Or can we use a detailed paraphrase

    • @englishnerd5580

      Detailed paraphrase is enough, but try to get as close to the wording as you can. Show you know your stuff!

    • @devinwallace4474
      @devinwallace4474 ปีที่แล้ว

      it’s going to be nearly impossible to directly quote lines from the book you choose - just be confident in the work you picked, where you ultimately understand the in’s and outs of the story

      No, as long as they can still understand without a problem. (If they can’t, you’d probably lose a point for sophistication.)
