Start by reading each Unit 5 text closely and noting how Modernismo and Generación del 98 ideas show up in the language and imagery. For poetry like Darío's "A Roosevelt" and Machado's "He andado muchos caminos", annotate for tone, metaphor, and historical allusion. For prose like Unamuno's *San Manuel Bueno, mártir* and Quiroga's "El hijo", track narrative voice and existential themes. Then practice writing short analytical paragraphs that connect a specific technique to the broader cultural context of early 20th-century Latin America and Spain. Reviewing Martí's "Nuestra América" alongside "A Roosevelt" is especially useful since both address Latin American identity and you'll likely see comparison prompts on the exam.
