▲ 3 r/APLit

So, I had to take this as a combined course with three others so I have only had two devoted classes with a teacher, haven't had access to the AP Classroom/ Bluebook etc until yesterday, and am really struggling to throw together applicable knowledge for the Q3! I am aiming for a 4-5 and know I have potential but those time constraints really jam my ability to think and thus write well!!

The pieces I have read are:

The Kite Runner

The Handmaids Tale

The Death of A Salesman

...and - which is the main problem - R.F. Kuang's Katabasis!

Is there anyone who has read Katabasis or is willing to help me out for remembering? I just worry I'll either summarise, miss the point or get super caught up in a complex thesis and run out of time! I have read a lot as a pastime / hobby but I can't remember much of The Lord of the Flies, To Kill a Mockingbird, Macbeth etc!

If anyone has any other tips for writing a strong thesis that would be great! I only just got introduced to the 'unicorn' point too so now are grappling with how to manage that...I know there's lots of mention of strong verbs etc but I am super struggling!

If anyone has anything that would be fab! Good luck to everyone tomorrow / May 18th!
