A WORLD LIT ONLY BY FIRE by William Manchester

AP Euro Summer Assignment

Note: This assignment must be hand written and in ink

Mr. Ruth Procure a copy, new or used> ISBN 0316545562 of the above work. A good idea might be to purchase it off a graduating senior. Due the first day of class, without exception. Point value: 150 points, or the value of 1.5 exams Feel free to e-mail me with questions: thomas.ruth@palmbeachschools.org

Your assignment is to read the book and answer a set of review questions. The questions will be impossible to answer without actually reading the book. The questions do not necessarily address the larger themes discussed in the book, but are intended to highlight interesting details, and simply force a closer reading of the book. I recommend that you keep the questions before you as you read. You will be asked to affirm that you have done your own work. After completing the reading and the questions, you will write some extended response questions based on the book. The questions are found at the end of the review questions. The book does deal briefly with the sexual abuses and excesses of the Medieval Catholic Church. Due to the sexual nature of this material on pp. 68-86 of AWLOBF, these pages are optional. None of the review questions are answered on these pages. If you or your parents object to this material being found in the book (even though you are not required to read it), you may request an alternative assignment. Please hand-write your answers.

Review questions: accuracy of answers, completeness. Omitting answers to questions will be penalized in proportion to the number omitted. Incorrect answers will be treated the same as omitted answers. Most answers will be very brief. Complete sentences are not required. .

In addition, you should respond to the following items at the points indicated. All entries must be handwritten in blue or black ink pen. **Please note: This assignment is due on the first day of school. In your reading Log respond to the following items: 1. Write a well developed paragraph or two summarizing the main ideas in each chapter of the book from chapters 1-12 [or pages 1-296 in Zinn] and chapters 1-12 or [pages 1-456 in the Schweikart] book. Place a heading for each separate chapter. It would help to have a sticky note on each chapter to find the information quickly. 2. Choose two or three quotes from each chapter that you found particularly significant. Try to choose quotes that highlight a major point in the writers thinking or argument. Include page numbers so that you can find them again. 3. List several things you learned from each chapter. This can include facts as well as new ways of viewing something familiar. 4. Write a paragraph in which you discuss the authors bias or viewpoint (all authors have a view point or bias. All historical writings are interpretations of evidence.) From what perspective does the author write- political, social, or economic? To what purpose do you think the author wrote this book?

be personal diaries. They are meant to be read by others and should be related only to the assigned material. You will be sharing your logs in class, so keep this in mind as you write. When sharing, you will have the opportunity to confirm, classify and modify your responses through discussion. You will also find that your response logs can be helpful in writing literary and rhetorical analysis of the text. You are not expected to be an expert of analyzing rhetorical techniques (yet), so don't panic if you do not know what to do here. Just do your best to complete the assignment. We are spending nearly the entire class working with rhetorical analysis. Focus on using the analytical techniques you have learned over the years in classes.
