Unpacking the Question

1) Compare uses and/or abuses of power as a theme in novels or short stories you have read. Say what this theme and its presentation contribute to each work you discuss.
-Find themes about power in the books, and talk about its presentation and whether it was good or bad.
-Theme of power
-Darkness at noon, Bluest Eye
2) Say what the titles of some individual works you have studied indicated to you at the outset. In what ways were your first impressions reinforced or altered as you read and explored each work?
-Identify first impression of book from title. Say how that idea changed or was reinforced throughout the book.
-Theme (ideas about book), mood, motif (depends on book/title)
-Darkness at Noon and Bluest Eye
