Part 3

Part 3 focuses on how the context of production influences the content of works of literature, and how the context of reception influences how the reader interprets and/or appreciates the work.

Three works of literature will be read for Part 3, one of which is a work in translation.  The three works we will be reading are:

• The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
• Woman at Point Zero by Nawal Al Sadaawi
• A View from a Bridge by Arthur Miller

These three works will be the works that you write about on your Paper 2 in May (and on your SE Literature in March).  One of them may also be used for your written tasks.
