Dear students,  

The essay topic of the Language III final exam on Wednesday, March 15^th, 2017 will be based on the short stories The Legacy, by Virginia Woolf, and The Colonel´s Lady, by Somerset Maugham. You will be asked to COMPARE two characters, either Angela and Evie, or Gilbert and George.

After reading the short stories, you should try to make a list of possible points of comparison for both pairs of characters, but you´ll be asked to write on just one the pairs.

You should read our notes on the comparison and contrast mode of development posted on this blog on August 25^th, 2016. On the PPP we uploaded, there is an example of an outline following the conventions we agreed on in class (slide 19). Please note that on slides 15 and 17 the topic sentences are expressed by means of noun phrases, and this is not what you should do.

Also, on slides 21 and 23, there are lists of connectors used in the comparison mode of development. Make sure you see how they are used in context.

You should also revise our instructions for Introductions and Conclusions, which were posted on September 15^th, 2016.

Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday.

                            

Warm regards,

Prof. A. Argerich
