 *************** 

PROMPT CHOICE #1. The bleak, gray, colorless SETTING in The Road proves absolutely vital to the OPPRESSIVE TONE of the entire story. USING TEXT EVIDENCE, ANALYZE McCarthy's use of SETTING in The Road through the ARCHETYPAL COLORS he uses (or chooses to leave out). 

A.] "CITING several (2-3) examples from the text," EXPLAIN how McCarthy uses VISUAL IMAGERY and NEGATIVE DICTION to describe his novel's setting (#); 
and B.] ANALYZE HOW these DESCRIPTIONS contribute to the reader's sense of a _____ TONE as the man and son's journey comes to an end.

PROMPT CHOICE #2. The universal archetype of one's journey through life can be used in literature to represent both positive or negative circumstances one faces. ANALYZE McCarthy's use of 'THE ROAD/JOURNEY' ARCHETYPE/UNIVERSAL SYMBOL as it applies to The Road.
A.] "CITING several (2-3) examples from the text," WHAT kinds of OBJECTS/SYMBOLS does McCarthy use to suggest the "JOURNEY" ARCHETYPE {i.e., the road, the ocean, time, fire, etc.} (#); 
and B.] ANALYZE how McCarthy uses either POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE DIALOGUE (between the boy and father) or SENTENCE STRUCTURE [SYNTAX] to bring this ARCHETYPE to life.

PROMPT CHOICE #3. The archetype of youthful innocence (i.e. "carrying the fire," "the good vs. the bad guys") that may lead to a hopeful future oftentimes pertains to the boy and how the father, the protector archetype, takes care of him in The Road. USING THE NOVEL'S TEXT EVIDENCE, 
A.] "CITE/give several (2-3) examples of DIALOGUE and/or SITUATIONS from the novel's plot that demonstrate the father's caution/protection and son's humanity/hope and why protecting the son's innocence is so important to the father," (#);  
and B.] ANALYZE/EXPLAIN how both the boy and the father embody their archetypal descriptions and patterns as they journey on the road.
