IB Questions

May 2008(a)
- Discuss the ways which at least two novels or story stories you have studied demonstrate that the search for identity can be a conscious or an unconscious process.

I plan to adress the aspect of charaterization in both the bluest eye and as i lay dying with the characters Pecola and Dewey dell. In the bluest i it was a conscious search for identity in beauty with the motif of blue eyes. And in AS i lay dying it was an unconcious process for dewey dell, becuase she was constantly searching for love.

May 2005
-Symbols and motifs are essential elements of many novelss and short stories. How have either or both of these devices been used and in your opinion, how successfully, in two or three of the works you have studied.

I would disscuss the pince nez motif in Darkness at noon because they are a tool reflects that realizations and realities of the party: examples would be in bogrovs liquidation, i would also discuss neomacheveillism. And the babydoll in the bluest eye because it helps develop the concept of beauty i n relation 2 tha master narrative.
