AP Literature is a course that depends heavily on reading notable works throughout the year to broaden a
student’s literary palate and exposure to significant themes and practices relevant to the AP Exam. One
such work is the required novel that must be finished before the start of the school year, Wuthering
Heights by Emily Brontë. The following assignment will allow the entire class to enter the course with
the means to an immediate basis of discussion of literature. It will be imperative that the novel is fully
read and the 2 tasks completed in order to begin writing assignments and literary discussions as soon as
possible.
Task 1: Annotation
You are required to annotate the novel. Thorough and complete annotations will not only help you write
about the novel, they are a graded component of the summer reading assignment.
There are many ways and styles in which to annotate a piece of literature. You may utilize any style that
resonates with you but it must be recognizable as quality annotation. Examples of annotations might
include: indicating and defining unfamiliar words/concepts, symbols such as stars or exclamation points
for noteworthy plot points or thematic revelations, highlighting passages of significance, underlining,
circling, arrows, use of sticky notes, and writing notes in the margins or the starts and ends of chapters.
Whichever method you choose, you should be paying attention to and noting details like plot, character,
setting, theme, figurative language like symbolism or irony etc, narrative structure, point of view, and
linguistic items like syntax, juxtaposition, or dialects.
Task 2: Essay Prep
While you will NOT be writing an essay over the summer, you will be completing the preparations that
will enable you to do so immediately upon your entrance into class. You will be required to prepare a
document with relevant information to refer to when asked to write an essay in class and for other writing
assignments that might be associated with the summer reading novel.
You will need the following information included in your document:
-List of main characters and brief descriptions of their personalities/roles in the plot/appearances
-List of main settings and brief descriptions
-8 Quality quotations of your choosing. These should be from a variety of characters and related to
multiple plot points. Include the chapter, page number, and 1-2 sentences to orient the quote within the
plot or tie it to a theme.

Reading is one of the best ways to improve your use of language and thus your performance in many
types of classes. Select some books from this summer reading list and enjoy them. The list is compiled
of American books, many of which have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for literature, and all of which
have an historical significance. There is a short summary of each book and some questions for guidance.
English 11AP students must complete the following:
1. Read The Things They Carried, a novel by Tim O’Brien, and write an essay on one of the
questions. Be prepared to turn in the essay on the first day of class and to discuss the novel.
2. Read one additional novel of your choice from the summer reading list. You will be required to
write an essay during class on your book of choice. Prepare your thoughts based on one of the
questions on that book.
English 11 students will be required to read a book of their choice from the attached list and write an
essay on one of the questions. Be prepared to turn in that essay on the first day of class.
Required AP novel:
The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien is a study of an infantry company of American soldiers during
the Vietnam war. These short stories are linked together to paint a portrait of men in war - the horrors of
the “killing fields” and the memories of the servicemen. (1991 runner-up for Pulitzer Prize for fiction)
1. What servicemen chose to carry revealed who they were. Select 3 of the characters. Explain what
each carried and what was revealed about that character.
2. Explain why Tim O’Brien returned to Vietnam twenty years after the war. What was he trying to
learn about himself? How does he feel after the trip is complete?
Books of choice
Moby Dick, Herman Melville’s whaling story of Captain Ahab’s vindictive quest for the white whale, has
been lauded as America’s greatest novel. Although it begins as a narrative about a whaling expedition, it
turns into “a metaphorical study of the nature of good, evil, and reality.” The complex novel has many
layers: the story of a whaling ship’s fateful voyage, the story of a bitter man’s quest for revenge, and the
story of humanity’s relationship to the natural world. (Literature and the Language Arts)
1. Melville chose Nantucket, where the first whale was sighted in 1672, as the starting point for the
“Pequod’s” cruise. The book explores the American whalers,their individualism and heroic
self-reliance.
2. The white whale with its enormous power and violence is seen as Ahab’s evil foe, but it is also
seen as mild and beautiful by other members of the whaling crew. Discuss the symbolism of the
white whale.
Killer Angels by Michael Shaara won the Pulitzer Prize in 1975. The novel is set during the four days of
the Battle of Gettysburg, and the characters are the actual historical figures, including General Robert E.
Lee. Shaara’s context is based on the letters, journal entries, and memoirs of the men who fought at
Gettysburg.
1. The Battle of Gettysburg may have been a turning point between old and new methods of
warfare. Explain the conflict and consequences of Lee’s traditional strategies compared to
Longstreet’s insistence on more realistic defense tactics.
2. Good friends, Lew Armistead and Winfield Hancock represent two different sides. Explain how
they portray the dilemma of the Civil War.
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead “chronicles a young slave’s adventures as she makes a
desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. . . . Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of
her journey, her odyssey through time as well as space.” “Whitehead re-creates the unique terrors for
black people in the pre-Civil War era.” (Doubleday, 2016)
1. Throughout her journey many times Cora believes she has found freedom, only to discover that it
is an illusion. Write an analysis of Cora’s physical, mental and emotional characteristics that help
her realize her goal.
2. Historically the Underground Railroad is the name given to safe places that aided in the
movement of escaped slaves, not an actual railroad. This novel changes that metaphorical railroad
into a literal one. Describe the many steps of the “underground railroad” that Cora uses to seek
her freedom from slavery.
Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, a novel of social protest and propaganda, is one of the
most influential books ever written by an American. She declared that her object was to “hold up in the
most lifelike and graphic manner possible, slavery . . . and the Negro character.” “Stowe draws her moral
by providing a grand panorama of American life,” portraying the basic human emotions of the slaves and
the brutality of some slave owners. The publication and overwhelming success of this book is often
viewed as one of the events leading to the Civil War. (The Novel 100)
1. Examine the morals Stowe provides through the presentation of her characters.
2. Critic Kenneth Lynn calls this novel “the greatest tear-jerker of them all.” Discuss the emotional
impact of this novel on pre-civil war readers.
Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner will be loved by outdoors enthusiasts. It is a “story of discovery –
personal, historical, and geographical.” Lyman Ward starts to write his grandparents’ story of life on the
frontier and ends by revealing a portrait of four generations in the life of an American family. (The
Atlantic Monthly)
1. What is the “angle of repose” and how did it represent the lives of Susan Burling and Oliver
Ward?
2. Explain the background and symbolism of the episode in which Oliver pulls up all the rose
bushes from the house on the mesa.
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is the story of itinerant farmers, the “Okies”, during the
Depression. The Joad family travels to California only to discover they are worse off than they were in
the dust bowl of Oklahoma. Although the subject matter, including its violence and passion, is
controversial, this is a remarkable book.
1. Discuss the idea that The Grapes of Wrath exposes “glaring inequities in our social system.”
2. Although the subject matter of this novel is often violent and shocking, the characters can also
be sympathetic. Discuss the accuracy of this statement with specific references to the story.
Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway is set in Italy during World War I. It is a story of lovers
“silhouetted against the flame-streaked blackness of war, of a collapsing world . . . That story is the quest
for meaning and certitude in a world that seems to offer nothing.” (Robert Penn Warren)
1. Hemingway’s greatest protagonists are those who must face the dilemmas of surviving with
dignity, what he terms “grace under pressure.” Analyze Frederic Henry’s process of learning to
live with the inevitable pain of the vulnerable.” (The Novel 100)
2. Gertrude Stein, one of Hemingway’s contemporary writers, made the famous remark, “You
are all a lost generation.” Discuss how this novel presents the “lost generation” of the post World
War I period.
The Jungle Upton Sinclair intended his novel to reveal the working conditions and rights of immigrants.
When it was published, it was so shocking that it launched a government investigation of the meatpacking
industry, eventually leading to new laws.
1. Discuss Sinclair’s statement . . . “there was no place in it where a man counted for anything
against a dollar.”
2. Explain the symbolism, the significance of the title, The Jungle.
Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson follows a doomed love affair between a white boy and a
Japanese girl set against a Japanese-American fisherman’s 1954 murder trial. The novel also explores the
wartime internment of the Japanese residents. (1994 PEN/Faulkner award for fiction)
1. Explain how the setting, particularly the World War II passions against Japan, causes the major
conflict in this novel.
2. Analyze the symbolic significance of the novel’s title.
A Bell For Adano by John Hersey is set in Italy during World War II. Adano’s 700-year-old bell has been
melted down for Fascist guns and ammunition. When the Americans occupy the town, Major Joppolo
must overcome huge obstacles to find a new bell. Hersey has written a “funny, serious, and deeply
disturbing story.” (The New Yorker)
1. “It is possible to make your authority seem to spring from the very people over whom you have
authority. And after a while, Tomasino, it actually does spring from them, and you are only the
instrument of their will. That is the thing that the Americans want to teach you who have lived
under men who imagined that they themselves were authority.” (Ch.8) Explain how Major
Joppolo through his actions in Adano exemplified this description of the American ideal leader.
2. Discuss Major Joppolo’s tragic flaw, and how it led to his downfall.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon features two boy geniuses who
collaborate to create a comic book. Set in the period before America enters World War II, the novel
brilliantly reveals this period of history. “Super-colossal – smart, funny and a continual pleasure to read.”
(The Washington Post)
1. Discuss how the actions of Nazi Germany determined the various stages of Joe
Kavalier’s life.
2. Analyze Sammy Clay in terms of his relationships with Joe and Rosa as well as his comic book
career.
The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison won the National Book Award for fiction. The narrator from his
basement coal-cellar says in the prologue, “I am an invisible man. . . . I am invisible, understand, simply
because people refuse to see me.” The novel, through flashbacks, takes the reader through the
experiences that have led to the coal-cellar. As he becomes the representative of America, white and
black, the narrator asks at the end, “Who knows but that on the lower frequencies, I speak for you?”
1. Explain how the author uses the idea of invisibility in relation to his character’s search for
identity. Include the imagery of blindness and being blindfolded.
2. Discuss whether the characters represent real persons or whether they are used as stereotypes to
further the author’s ideas about the problems of the African Americans
All the President’s Men. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, reporters for the Washington Post,
uncovered a scandal that helped bring about a constitutional crisis and eventually forced the President to
resign. This book is their account of that investigation.
1. Explain the context of what happens during this period in light of the book’s allusion to the
nursery rhyme about Humpty Dumpty. (“All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t
put Humpty Dumpty together again.”)
2. Specifically who was “Deep Throat” and what did Woodward learn from his secret meetings with
this source?
Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, a marine biologist, documented the effects on the environment of the
indiscriminate use of pesticides, especially DDT. The book sounded a warning for the environment and
led to a new reform movement.
1. “There was a strange stillness . . . It was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had once
throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds, doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird
voices there was now no sound; only silence.” Describe the imagery Carson uses to dramatize
her subject.
2. What are some of the legacies that have resulted from the publication of this book?

AP Seminar
Ms. Devyn Reynolds
Email: dreynolds@ovs.org
Welcome, AP Seminar students!
Enrolling in the AP Capstone program is the best decision of your high school career. This sequence of
courses, more than any other, will have you engage in the kind of inquiry, critical analysis, writing, and
research that are going to serve you extremely well in college. You will take on the habits of seeing
connections between issues, of interpreting evidence through a variety of lenses, and of understanding
trends from multiple perspectives.
QUEST Framework & Lenses
The AP Seminar course is built around the QUEST framework to investigate research questions of your
own design. The QUEST framework is recursive, meaning that
as we move forward, we also go back and refine previous steps
of our work as we uncover new information.
Q - Question and Explore
Challenge and expand the boundaries of your current
knowledge
U - Understand and Analyze
Contextualize arguments and comprehend authors’
claims
E - Evaluate Multiple Perspectives
Consider individual perspectives and the larger
conversation of varied points of view
S - Synthesize Ideas
Combine knowledge, ideas, and your own perspective
into an argument
T - Team, Transform, and Transmit
Collaborate, reflect, and communicate your argument in
a method suited to your audience
In addition to the QUEST framework, we use eight
investigative lenses to explore our research questions. You will
use these lenses to identify and compare different perspectives.
The lenses are:
Environmental
Scientific
Economic
Political and
Historical
Artistic and Philosophical
Cultural and Social
Ethical
Futuristic
Assignment: Two-Lens Inquiry
DUE: August 26, 2024 (first day of school)
This assignment will give you practice with examining issues through different lenses in AP Seminar, as
well as forming critical approaches to finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of information.
Your assignment is to examine an issue related to Sustainability. This issue can be anything that interests
you, but it must be something current - something that is happening and relevant to today’s society. Once
you have determined your issue, you will write a 600-word examination of it using two lenses listed on
the chart above (max. 300 words per lens). This examination is a report; you are not making or
defending an argument.
For example, you may examine the issue of deforestation. You may investigate this through a
political lens by examining what authority the US government has over issues related to forestry,
or international law. You may also examine the issue through a scientific lens, in terms of how
tree loss is impacting air quality or species and habitat loss.
In order to write an informed examination, you will find eight sources (four for each lens) from among
the following sources:
Column A
Column B
Column C
Column D

❏ New York
Times
❏ Reuters
