Picture this - you're about to tackle a mysterious beast called Paper 2, but guess what? You've got this. Because what we're about to do is dive deep into the secret lair of Paper 2, illuminating its four corners with the powerful torchlight of understanding.

Knowledge, understanding, and interpretation (10 points)

Imagine you're a detective, deep into the intrigue of a new case - your literary works. The question is your mystery to solve. Now, how much do you really know about this case? Can you pull out those dusty files from your memory and make connections, analyze clues, find patterns? Are you Sherlock Holmes or a clueless Watson?

 

Criterion A is all about showing off your literary detective skills. It's not just about rattling off facts, but also showing how you can interpret those facts in relation to the big question. For example, if the question is about the theme of betrayal in a Shakespearean play, you shouldn't just list instances where betrayal happens. Dive into the why and the how, make conclusions - did Brutus betray Caesar because of his love for Rome? Why was this betrayal pivotal?

Analysis and evaluation (10 points)

Now, imagine you're a film critic. You're not just watching a movie, you're analyzing the director's choices, the actors' performances, the script, the music, everything. Similarly, Criterion B is your chance to show your analytical prowess - How do the writer's choices in language, style, and technique shape the meaning of the work?

 

For instance, in George Orwell's "1984," how does the gloomy, austere language create an oppressive atmosphere? How does this enhance the theme of totalitarian control? Compare and contrast these choices in both works in relation to your question.
