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
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.
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"
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
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
@@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.
@@germane9098 Hello! The video creator answered, and I just wanted to say I agree! As long as they're recognized, they are good. Good luck next year! Writing about "why is this important/why do we care" regarding books for essays is a great focus rather than plot summary.
@@rondon7145 Thanks! I’ve already been trying to find my main books that I may use to answer the essays, and also been trying to augment my repertoire, so I can extract apt information when needed.
Got a 54% on a practice mcq 😎

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

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

Yes you are. There used to be a “literary merit” requirement for examples but they got rid of it, as long as you can explain and quote it you are fine
Thank you!
I should have studied this last night instead of the hour before the test I don’t know any of these I’m so cooked😭😭😭
Me too😭😭! Sending lots of positive energy.
Please help out with the curve 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you sm
Do we need to use direct quotes for the last essay? Or can we use a detailed paraphrase
Detailed paraphrase is enough, but try to get as close to the wording as you can. Show you know your stuff!

I'm self-studying for the AP Lit exam next year, what do you think is the best way to prepare?

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.

College board tech difficulties had my exam delayed to 2 weeks now 😂
This is something I wanted to do since I was eighteen years old. I would love to one day Ace this exam. Shout out to Mr.Escobar!!!!!
thank you
should we add something in the essays about human condition?
It’s not necessary unless they ask about it. You should include the overall message to the reader, though, which should be something universal.
Do they take off points for spelling?
No, as long as they can still understand without a problem. (If they can’t, you’d probably lose a point for sophistication.)
😃😃😃😃😃😃
LESS THAN 6 HOURS LMAO
Shout out to my sister Angelica. I love ❤😂🎉😢😅😊 you!!!!!!
