I just finished the feedback for sixth hour's work with the Bronte passage regarding Caroline Helstone's metamorphosis to adulthood at age 18. This prompt emphasized the 2 phases of her life and brought simultaneous wonder and cynicism to the shift from childlike fantastical hope to mature realistic love, or those personified abstract nouns that affect the second half of the passage. If a prompt centers around 2 of something - I hope you know where I'm going with this - the AP creators have set you up for juxtaposition. Hence (I'm trying to break free of my ergo addiction), juxtaposition was the big ticket item that I was looking to read, whether it be the main device or a secondary one hiding under the umbrella of personification, nature motif (hello, it's a Bronte writing this), or anything else brought to the table for analysis.
I'm off to the Hardy prompt for sixth hour and then go through second hour's submissions. I just wanted to let you know that once I finish with feedback for an hour's assignment, if you turn it in late (which is legal but noted on SIS as such), I will not be giving as much feedback for that particular assignment.
