Choose ONE of the following prompts and write a well-organized essay.
Prompt 1:
In “Young Goodman Brown,” Hawthorne reveals what he sees as the corruptibility that
results from Puritan society’s emphasis on public morality, which often weakens private
religious faith. Although Goodman Brown has decided to come into the forest and meet
with the devil, he still hides when he sees Goody Cloyse and hears the minister and
Deacon Gookin. He seems more concerned with how his faith appears to other people
than with the fact that he has decided to meet with the devil.
In a short essay (700-800 words), discuss the theme of inherent corruptibility and the
weakness of public morality. Use adequate and sufficient details from the story.
Prompt 2:
Dee in “Everyday Use” is angered by what she views as a history of oppression in her
family, so she constructs a new heritage for herself and rejects her real heritage. She fails
to see the family legacy of her given name and takes on a new name, Wangero, which she
believes more accurately represents her African heritage. However, the new name, like
the “African” clothes and jewelry she wears to make a statement, is meaningless. She has
little true understanding of Africa, so what she considers her true heritage is actually
empty and false. Her mother, on the other hand, has a very different view of what
heritage is. She believes that the objects she inherited from her family, such as the quilt, are
infused with the presence of the people who made and used them. That’s why the mother
understands that Maggie, not Dee, should have the quilts, because Maggie will respect
them by using them in the way they were intended to be used.
In a short essay (700-800 words), discuss the theme of heritage (African-American), with
more details and examples, as represented by Dee, her mother and sister.
