A Guide to Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House Series
()
About this series
A major problem in the study of literature is the students approach to questions. This may result from inability to tell exactly what examiners look for. To address this problem, this book looks at how to answer questions in literature. It examines the required approach to both excerpt and essay questions, the majority of ways in which literature questions are presented in high school, colleges and universities. For the essay, the book loks at how to build a good essay by looking at preparatory steps to essay writing such as planning and organizing ideas. It then looks at paragraphing, rereading and timing the essay. Though this book is based practically on the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examination, the exam through which students qualify for college and the university, the ideas discussed here are applicable worldwide; the reader only needs to know how different the timing and question content in the particular examination is in order to make the necessary adjustments. The book specifically looks at the interpretation of excerpt and essay questions based on Henrik Ibsen's play, A Doll's House. however, the skills taught here can be applied to other plays and indeed to other genres of literature.
