if such information is given. Choose one of the following answer
choices: A. if Quantity A is greater;
B. if Quantity B is greater; C. if the two quantities are

Unlike some classic European novels, American literature encompasses many different, even unique, styles and genres. One of the most interesting of these is the Southern Gothic subgenre. As its name implies, Southern Gothic literature is reflective of life in the American South. Southern Gothic maintains some of the characteristics of Gothic writing, such as plot development of the supernatural or the ironic. However, Southern Gothic does not focus on creating tension and suspense like other Gothic genres. Instead, Southern Gothic story lines examine Southern society and its underlying, often implicit, social structure.
Southern Gothic writers generally spurn the stereotype of the gentleman on the plantation and the glamorous Southern belle. Instead, the authors develop characters that are sinister or reclusive and not particularly pleasant on the surface. However, these characters usually have redeeming qualities that allow and encourage the reader to empathize with their situations or dilemmas. It is through these immoral and unhappy personalities that the Southern Gothic writer is able to present and explore moral issues of the American South, such as slavery and bigotry, without blatant accusations.

Sometimes an object in nature is so rare that it
escapes mention in nature books. Such is the case with the delightful Kirtland's
warbler. The Kirtland's warbler is a plump, yellow-breasted bird that can be
found nesting almost exclusively in the upper half of Michigan's Lower
Peninsula. Although this bird does migrate to the Bahamas during the winter
months, Michigan is its natural habitat. Unfortunately, reduced numbers have
caused the Kirtland's warbler to be designated an endangered species. The
remaining Kirtland's warblers now enjoy living among the jack pine trees located
in protected Michigan forests. The male warblers generally return north before
the female birds. Often, they return as early as May. When they arrive, the male
warblers stake out their territories and choose a nesting area. At the
completion of their own long journey from the Bahamas, the female warblers begin
to collect leaves and grass to build their nests. Oddly, the Kirtland's warbler
nests on the ground and not in the nearby jack pine trees themselves. During the
nesting process, the male warbler provides food for his mate while the female
Kirtland's warbler lays four to five speckled eggs. The eggs hatch in two to
three weeks and both the male and female warblers tend to their chicks.
Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises, has
frequently been treated as a novel of the Lost Generation--a group of young
American expatriate writers living in Paris who came of age during World War I
and established their reputations in the 1920's. They considered themselves
"lost" because their inherited values could not operate in the postwar world and
they felt spiritually alienated from a country that they considered hopelessly
provincial and emotionally barren. More broadly, the Lost Generation represented
the World War I American generation. This approach to The Sun Also Rises has
become something of a critical clich6. Hemingway described the novel as less
about the life of postwar expatriates than about the rhythms of nature as an
expression of eternity.
