This exam review document for English III covers over 80 fully verified questions and answers focusing on Civil War-era American literature, social reform texts, and poetry. It explores key literary works such as The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, spirituals like “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Go Down, Moses,” Emily Dickinson’s reflective poetry, Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, and Sojourner Truth’s impactful speech “Ain’t I A Woman.” Students will examine literary devices (e.g., metaphor, synecdoche, personification, parallelism, slant rhyme), religious and historical allusions, and rhetorical strategies tied to themes of slavery, freedom, grief, dignity, women’s rights, and American identity. Highlights include Frederick Douglass’ metaphor of rebirth and defiance, the encoded meanings of spirituals used as resistance tools, Dickinson’s poetic structure and feminist voice, Whitman’s celebration of the working class, and Truth’s bold counterarguments to societal norms.
