9th Grade Unit I Test Study Guide

1. You must be able to identify, define, or give examples of these literary terms. When you define these terms, make sure you use the definition that I gave you in class.


theme

point of view

The first person perspective

The third person limited perspective

The third person omniscient perspective

poetic justice

2. You must also be able to answer any of the comprehension questions taken from these stories: A Just Judge, The Stub Book, As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap, and The Death Disk. All of these questions and answers should be in your notes.

3. You must be able to write a short essay that compares and contrasts the theme of justice within two of the four stories covered. These two stories will be MY choice, so make sure you are capable of discussing the meaning of justice within ANY of the stories.

  • HINT: When you think about the meaning of justice in these stories, ask yourself "Is justice relative or absolute within the story? Is there a clear right or wrong answer? Is there a clear division between good and bad in the story?"

4. Your extra credit will cover the vocabulary taken from "The Word of the Day"
