Part A
Directions: Read the passages on the following pages (a prose
poem and an
essay). Write the number of the answer to each multiple-choice
question
on your answer sheet. Then write the essay in your essay booklet
as
described in Your Task. You may use the margins to take notes as
you
read and scrap paper to plan your response.
Your Task:
After you have read the passages and answered the
multiple-choice
questions, write a unified essay about mother-daughter
relationships,
as
revealed in
the passages. In your essay, use ideas from both passages

establish a controlling idea about mother-daughter
relationships. Using
evidence
from each passage, develop your controlling idea and show how
the author uses specific literary elements or techniques to convey that idea.

- Use ideas from both passages to establish a
controlling idea about
mother-daughter relationships

the
controlling idea
