Abstract issues as possible themes

Two possible Paper 2 questions:
If beauty is a relative term, how do two of the works you have studied explore this idea?
How does a particular term or concept, such as childhood, change in the way it is represented in the texts you have studied?

The following list of abstract issues that might appear in literature was coined by some previous IB students. 

Discuss which of them are present in  Carol Ann Duffy's (CAD) poetry, which in Kate Chopin's (KC) short stories, which in the play "A Doll's House" (ADH), which in "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" (1D)? How?

Which would you pair for a specific theme in Paper 2? 

NB! If you choose poetry, you have to discuss THREE poems. (IB seems to think 2 is too little.)

Later on we'll be also discussing their occurrence in the other literary texts you can use in Paper 2 (in which you can use literary texts that we have dealt with in class, but not the ones you used for your IO or HLE).
