For each prompt, try to come up with three to five questions you would want to ask to gain further clarity about the assignment. (Note: We are just focused on the writing prompt here. We will assume that technical information like essay length, due date, and other formatting requirements are provided, and thus we do not need to ask about those.) 1. Write about a literary work that includes a very good hero.
2. Assess the role of the minor characters in a non-dramatic work from class?
