By a happyending, I do not mean mere fortunate events -- a marriage or a last minute rescue fromdeath -- but some kind of spiritual reassessment or moral reconciliation, even with theself, even at death." Choose a novel or play that has the kind of ending Weldondescribes. In a well-written essay, identify the "spiritual reassessment or moralreconciliation" evident in the ending and explain its significance in the work as a whole.1995.Writers often highlight the values of a culture or a society by using characters whoare alienated from that culture or society because of gender, race, class, or creed.Choose a novel or a play in which such a character plays a significant role and showhow that character's alienation reveals the surrounding society's assumptions or moralvalues.1994.In some works of literature, a character who appears briefly, or does not appearat all, is a significant presence.
