The Terminale OIB English course complements and continues the work begun in Première OIB. We continue to sharpen our analytical and close reading skills as we probe issues of self and other, individual and society, assimilation and alienation. Some of our major texts are concerned in particular with race and colonization.

A few practice DST questions:
1. Show how the climaxes in two works of literature that you have studied are related to the central action and give meaning to the whole work.
2.We can, at times, forgive the damage caused by the weak and the stupid; but when the damage is caused by the strong and intelligent, the action producing the damage shocks us. Develop this idea by discussing the damage produced by characters in two of the works you have studied.
3.”It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.” Do you agree with these words by W. Somerset Maugham? Discuss, using two works of literature you have read.
