Part II. In this section, you will need to be able to identify the works and the writers of the passages provided in the exam. Your task is then to perform close readings of those passages, to discuss what is most significant about those passages, how they reflect the larger issues. Explore how passages reflect the themes of the work as well as the texts’ historical contexts—how the texts represent ideas about identity, nationhood, and the historical moment. You might consider the specific themes that are shared between the works: for example, time, memory, the past, present, and future, conceptions of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
