Your Task:
Write a critical essay in which you discuss two works of literature you have read from the particular perspective
of the statement that is provided for you in the Critical Lens. In your essay, provide a valid interpretation of the statement, agree or disagree with the statement as you have interpreted it, and support your opinion using specific references to appropriate literary elements from the two works. You may use scrap paper to plan your response.
Critical Lens:
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in
moments of comfort and convenience, but where he
stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
—Martin Luther King, Jr.
Strength to Love, 1963
