Draw charts with all important characters of the books so you are able to recognize them. Know their relationships and how their interactions and stories affect the narratives.

Moreover, please review carefully all the terms you have learned so far: literary terms, historical and cultural terms. Make sure you understand figurative language and all its components as discussed in class. Also, be knowledgeable on the categories of writing, the genres of literature and the difference between prose and verse as we have discussed. Be sure to know why and when to use italics. Finally, be able to define time periods, place them chronologically, and recognize how each of them relates and influences the works you have read.

Renaissance

Enlightenment

Romanticism

Modernity
