A lateral view plumb line should be aligned with all of the following landmarks EXCEPT:

In “The River-Merchant’s Wife” what image does the author use to symbolize the wife’s loneliness and longing for her husband’s return? 

Which of the following terms describes the individual sensation of feeling as though your identity is divided into several parts, making it difficult or impossible to have one unified identity.

Which of the following works is about “the death of the promise of the American Dream.”

In A Streetcar Named Desire, who said, “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers”?  

Identify this work:  “[This work] is a reaction to the racial climate of the late nineteenth century. [The author] talks about hypocrisy, deception, and the fact that black Americans often resorted to seeming content with their social circumstances.

What was the name of the literary movement pioneered by Ezra Pound? 

What did most people assume about Richard Cory?

Which of the following authors suffered increasingly from depression and incapacitating paranoia – afflictions that seem to have run in his family? 

Following Pound, this particular poet, a writer and a doctor, was one of the principal poets of the Imagist movement, though as time went on, he began to increasingly disagree with the values put forth in the work of Pound and especially Eliot, who he felt were too attached to European culture and traditions. Continuing to experiment with new techniques of meter and lineation, he sought to invent an entirely fresh—and singularly American—poetic, whose subject matter was centered on the everyday circumstances of life and the lives of common people.
