The Evolution of John Doe

  1. The metaphor played by the simple yet classic idea of John Doe really helped in guiding the audience through the meaning behind your selected novel, The Orphan Master’s Son by Adam Johnson. I thought that the entire premise of the book, being multi perspective as it is, you did a through and concise job to informing the audience of what was going on throughout the entire catechism of the novel’s multiple perspectives. The dress coordination with the significance of yellow in your ap open prompt question was a cute touch to engage the audience. As well as explaining the symbolism of yellow to being loving and caring.
    Your careful consideration on analyzing each individual perspective separately was a good choice to make especially with the differences in tone and writing style contrasting between the perspectives. I was able to learn a lot from the in depth explanation all four of the perspectives and their individual contributions to the novel allowing for the conclusion that each different perspective serves a specific purpose all leading up to the development of identity in the particular Jun Do character. In addition I enjoyed the linguistic connection of their satirical works between your novel and the poem, The Unknown Citizen by W. H. Auden, before proceeding to explain how they both used language to create meaning instead of directly relaying the typical thematic relevance at first.
