Bertolt Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle: Dealing with Excerpts & Essay Questions

A common problem with many students of Literature is not the ability to read or understand a Literature text; it is the inability to present to their examiners what they have analyzed in that text. This is often because students and teachers focus too much on understanding the text and forget the part of expressing yourself to other people about what you have read. For this reason, this book tries to help the student of Brecht - both at high school and in college - on how to write answers in literature. This is necessary because Literature in general, and examiners in particular, expect the student to adopt certain ways of expression. Besides, critics will use particular ways of expressing themselves - including choice of particular terms - without explaining themselves. Therefore, in conjunction with explaining how to approach EXCERPTS and ESSAY questions set on The Caucasian Chalk Circle, this book explains TERMS used in literature, giving examples drawn from the play itself. This will make it easier for the student/candidate to understand these terms as well as be able to draw examples from this play. This makes it easy for the student of THIS play or the student of BRECHT or literature in general. It covers that extra part that is required to make an all-round student.
