She told Hemingway that he belonged to a “lost generation.” All of the characters in the novel deal with the difficulty of alienation.

2. Bobbie Ann Mason, in her novel “In Country,” blends the personal with the political to offer a profound exploration of the interaction between the past and the present. What does the novel suggest about the influence pf the past in the present? How does the ending explore how past experiences, even those we ourselves did not have, implicate us in their consequences?

3. Angela Morales writes, in the introduction to her book “The Girls in My Town,” that her essays coalesce to form a family portrait. What does her portrait reveal, individually and broadly, about the nature of family and identity? She attempts to discover why people remember what they remember.
