Final Exam
1. Rewrite in Chinese the following passage from Mrs. Dallway into movie
scenes (i.e. describe what the audience would see if the passage is adapted
into a movie): (5%)
Clarissa guessed; Clarissa knew of course; she had seen something
white, magical, circular, in the footman's hand, a disc inscribed
with a name,--the Queen's, the Prince of Wales's, the Prime
Minister's?--which, by force of its own lustre, burnt its way
through (Clarissa saw the car diminishing, disappearing), to blaze
among candelabras, glittering stars, breasts stiff with oak leaves,
Hugh Whitbread and all his colleagues, the gentlemen of England,
that night in Buckingham Palace. And Clarissa, too, gave a party.
She stiffened a little; so she would stand at the top of her
stairs.
2. Explain the following passage from Virgina Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway: (5%)
There was nobody. Her words faded. So a rocket fades. Its
sparks, having grazed their way into the night, surrender to it,
dark descends, pours over the outlines of houses and towers; bleak
hillsides soften and fall in. But though they are gone, the night
is full of them; robbed of colour, blank of windows, they exist
more ponderously, give out what the frank daylight fails to
transmit--the trouble and suspense of things conglomerated there in
the darkness; huddled together in the darkness; reft of the relief
which dawn brings when, washing the walls white and grey, spotting
each window-pane, lifting the mist from the fields, showing the
red-brown cows peacefully grazing, all is once more decked out to
the eye; exists again.
3. There is more action happening in the part of Mrs. Dalloway covered in the
second half of our class. Give a summary of it. (5%)
4. The psychological action happening in the part of Mrs. Dalloway covered in
the second half of our class shifts its focus from Clarissa to other
characters. Summarize it according to repective characters. (10%)
5. Summarize the banana company episode in One Hundred Years of Solitude as
completely as possible (e.g. including the settlement because of it as well
as its positive side) and discuss its significance in the novel. (15%)
6. As woman characters dominate the second half of the novel, summarize their
individual stories. (20%)
7. Europe finally makes its more direct appearances in the novel. Summarize
them and analyze their meaning(s). (10%)
8. As "solitude" is no doubt the keyword of the novel, discuss how it is
represented in the novel and how these representations are related to the
central theme of the novel (i.e. what the novel is trying to tell us as a
whole). (15%)
9. According [to] James Higgins's article on the novel, it "offer[s] an
alternative history" of Latin America. Summarize the version with particular
attention to where it is considered "alternative." (15%)
10. In what sense could people "here" (not everywhere but where you are)
relate to the story of One Hundred Years of Solitude? Be specific with your
answer by discussing particular aspect(s)/episode(s) of the novel. (10%)
