1 Hey This is the study guide for CLA3501 01 final exam during the spring 2012 semester All of the terms are based off of the readings The corresponding readings are underneath each term I have given examples of what she will be looking for on the essay questions but of course not everyone should or will have the same answers This is just merely a template for you to make your own essays on You can use works from the first half of the semester to answer them as well They are simple questions but if you still do not understand them you can just email me Also remember that she is going to pick 12 of the terms and you will be required to answer 10 of them You will have to write 5 things about each term these things have to be relevant to what we have talked about in the course Some of the terms use the same logic like so and so was a sister to so and so and the opposite could be said for the other terms This is going to be the same as the midterm as in she will pick one of those terms to use or none So that it will not be redundant aka Antigone and Ismene Email me if you have any questions Good Luck Katie Sowell Mks11 my fsu edu 2 CLA3501 01 April 27 2012 12 30 2 30 p m CLA3501
