I missed 24. The hardest questions for me were on the poem/story that was very rich in language so I couldn't follow the point of the passage.

Question 1
 thesis: In this passage, Eliot personifies "old Leisure" as a wandering recluse causing her comparisons to reminisce on past leisurely times while the present is advanced through eagerness.

B1: -show how old leisure is personified

       -show him as a recluse of society, lives in countryside

       -wanders through life not caring about the causes of things

B2: - show how her comparisons make her reflect on leisurely times

       -eagerness is replaced by leisure

      - advances ironically hinder leisure

Conclusion:

       -leisure is gone today

       -author reminisces on leisurely life


Question 2

Thesis: In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen represents Elizabeth Bennet as a maverick in a group of daughters that challenges the traditions of the female and class structure in 18th century England.

B1: - uses stream of consciousness

       - also 3rd person omniscient view

      -show how different viewpoints show Elizabeth’s challenges

B2: - show how Darcy changes his view of Elizabeth

-          Show Elizabeth’s changed view of Darcy

-          Show Bingley’s undying love for Jane despite class

Conclusion:

       - Austen challenged traditions even by writing book

      - sought to point out petty traditions
