Please complete the packet, doing the other multiple choice section and writing ONE of the two essays at the end of the packet.
For the essay, try to bring in applicable references to authors studied in this course. Also, the essay should include prewriting and be handwritten. Attempt to limit yourself to no more than one hour for the essay, 15 minutes for the m.c. section.
For those who were absent, the essay choices are as follows (I will give you the m.c. sections upon return):
Essay Prompt choice 1 (from 1999 AP exam):
In the following excerpt from Antigone, by the classical Greek playwright Sophocles, the wise Teiresias observes:
Think: all men make mistakes,
But a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong,
And repairs the evil.
The only crime is pride.
Take some time to think about the implications of the quotation. Then, write a carefully reasoned essay that explores the validity of the assertion, using examples from your reading, observation, and life experiences to develop your position.
Essay Prompt choice 2 (from 2006 AP exam):
From talk radio to television shows, from popular magazines to social media, ordinary citizens, political figures, and entertainers express their opinions on a wide range of topics. Are these opinions worthwhile? Does the expressions of such opinions foster democratic values?
Write an essay in which you take a position on the value of such public statements of opinion, supporting your view with appropriate evidence.
