About this resource
This quiz focuses on literary analysis and comprehension of Zora Neale Hurston's folk tale "Why Women Always Take Advantage of Men," appropriate for grade 12 students in American Literature or Advanced English courses. The questions assess students' ability to analyze character motivations, identify literary themes, interpret symbolism, and understand cultural literary forms. Students need strong reading comprehension skills to extract specific details from the text, critical thinking abilities to analyze the power dynamics and gender roles presented in the folk tale, and cultural literacy to understand the significance of dialect and oral tradition in African American literature. The quiz requires students to move beyond surface-level understanding to examine the deeper implications of the characters' actions and the story's commentary on societal power structures between men and women. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying grade 12 English and American Literature. This assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a post-reading comprehension check, a discussion starter for examining gender dynamics in literature, or a formative assessment tool to gauge students' understanding before deeper analytical work. Teachers can use this quiz as homework to reinforce reading assignments, as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before class discussion, or as review material when studying the Harlem Renaissance and African American literary traditions. The questions align with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.2 for determining themes and analyzing their development, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.3 for analyzing the impact of author's choices on story elements, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.6 for analyzing point of view and cultural experiences reflected in literature from outside the United States.
