January


 * January's Question:** In many works of literature, past events can affect, positively or negatively, the present activities, attitudes, or values of a character. Choose a novel or play in which a character must contend with some aspect of the past, either personal or societal. Then write an essay in which you show how the character's relationship to the past contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole.


 * Please respond to this question by clicking on the discussion tab above and then posting your response.

No two people can use the same character from the novel or play and it is a first-come, first-served basis. If you want to write about Dimmesdale but he's already been done, pick another person.

These will each be worth 25 points, so make the outline count.**
