Honors Spring Final Study Guide – 2009
You should study all terms, styles of novels and short stories, characters, and ideas for all works and . Plots of all the works we’ve read are fair game as well. Questions on 1984 will be in-depth (60-ish questions) while BNW, AQ, Night, TFA, and Nectar questions will be big idea questions such as “with which statement would the author most likely agree” and “what does the novel suggest about x?” Study up and good luck! Let your hard work shine through your knowledge!
“What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.” – Samuel Johnson
