A—Composition

Write a short composition on two of the following topics. Use plain, natural English, free from errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and correct in idiom. Before you begin, think what you are going to say. You will be judged by how well you write, not by how much.

  1. The history of the writing of The Ancient Mariner, and its place in the development of English Literature.
  2. The story of The Passing of Arthur.
  3. Banquo.
  4. The siege of Front-de-Bœuf's Castle.
  5. The character of Oliver Goldsmith.
