Essay Topic for Final Exam March 13th 2019


Dear students,  

The essay topic for the final Language III exam on Wednesday, March 13th 2019 will be based on the short story Interpreter of Maladies  by Jumpa Lahiri.

In your essay you should analyse reasons for Mrs. Das’ unhappy marriage. You should focus on the conversation Mina Das held with Mr. Kapasi when on their way back from the Sun Temple they stopped to visit the hills at Udayagiri and Khandagiri.

Please, take into account that you will not be allowed to have a copy of the text with you during the exam, so you should read the text very carefully.

Please review our notes on cause/effect analysis, outline layout, and the connectors you should use for the different modes of development. You should also review our guidelines on introductory and concluding paragraphs.

Remember that on Monday, March 11th, and on Tuesday, March 12th we will not answer questions related to the essay topic in office hours; we will not check your outlines or possible outlines for possible theses statements.

If you have already enrolled and decide not to take the exam, please send me an email through the blog or the virtual platform.

Kind regards,

Prof. A. Argerich
