Individualism and Self Reliance Essay prompts
- PDF
Description
Two often explored themes in American Literature are the themes of becoming self-reliant and the expression of individuality.
At semester's end, I like to give my high school students several questions with which to reflect upon and draw connections between themselves and the literature they have read. Included in this two sheet printable are essay questions that not only work in an American Literature course, but in any subject area concerned with such themes.
Some of the questions to choose from are:
#1. Each of the following quotations presents a way of looking at life. Which one comes closest to expressing your own philosophy of life? Write two paragraphs explaining how the quote relates to you.
#2. What do you think self-reliance means? How self-reliant do you feel you are? What are some advantages and disadvantages of being self-reliant? Answer these questions in a few paragraphs in your notebook.
Assign when you cover the themes, or as a good end of the year essay or test!
