Brief questions where you will identify and explain a concept, idea, or character, using specific examples, similar to the kind you had on the quiz. Topics will be taken from the terms listed on p. 3. 4 pts each; total 20 points: 2 longer questions. Aim for two substantial paragraphs, with specific examples.
