Choose 2 questions from below and answer each question in one fully developed paragraph. (A fully developed paragraph will probably not be less than 100 words.) Use one or two quotes from the text you are discussing in each paragraph and cite the quotes correctly in the paragraph using MLA citation. Provide a context for the quote prior to quoting, and provide commentary of the quote after quoting. You do NOT need a Works Cited page for this assignment.
1. It can be argued that in A Marriage Proposal, playwright Anton Chekhov is using comedy to show something serious about marriage, socioeconomic class, and/or gender roles. In one paragraph, explain what Checkhov may be suggesting about marriage, or socioeconomic class, or gender roles. Refer to one or two specific examples from the play in your paragraph.
2. Readers of literature recognize that literature can teach us important lessons about life and how to live well. Choose one story, play, or poem that you have read this semester for this class that you believe can show us something about how to live well. Explain in one paragraph how the story, play, or poem can show us how to live well. Use one or two specific examples. (For example, you may focus on a character that makes good choices, and/or achieves success, or displays love for another person. Or you may focus on a poem that has a message about living well or achieving success.)
