Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Discuss how Burroughs advances these ideas of the differences between the morals of humans and animals and white men and black men. Use examples from the book to support your response.

Essay Topic 2

Write a brief synopsis of the plot of Tarzan of the Apes, identifying where the various elements of the plot occur (Exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution or denouement). Do you find it difficult to identify the plot? Why or why not? What about the various elements of the plot? Give a brief synopsis of any important sub-plots.

Essay Topic 3
