Pick any four questions from the "Dover Beach" multiple choice test and analyze why and/or how Matthew Arnold's choice to compose the poem the way he did contributes to the poem as a whole.
For Question 1, for instance, do not just say Arnold compared faith to the ebb and flow of the sea when he wrote "The Sea of Faith was once, too, at the full." This shows faith being compared to a sea at low tide.
Add to it by suggesting that this produces a tone of ______________. Or that by suggesting that because he shows faith at an all-time low when he compares it to the tide, the reader might hope that one day it might once again ___________________.
As long as your response is thorough and plausible, you will get credit for it.
I will not be inputting grades for either the multiple choice or the analysis portions of the test until this weekend. As long as you submit your analysis, stapled to your multiple choice test, by the end of the day Friday, you'll get full credit. Otherwise, you'll get a "missing" grade on the multiple choice until your analysis is turned in, and your analysis grade will be reduced.
