Question

AMERICAN LI For your essay, consider how the frontier has figured into American literature. Begin the essay by defining the frontier in your own terms. You might consider whether one should regard the frontier as a strict line of separation, a zone, a physical space, a psychological phenomenon within the self, a social divide, a complete fiction, or something else. How penetrable is it-can one cross over the boundary of the frontier; if so, what happens? You should try to write approximately 300 words in blue or black ink only.

Explanation / Answer

Frontier is a term derived from the French language which means borderland. Frontier can be defined as an area adjoining political and geographical boundary between countries. Frontier cannot be considered as a strict line departing two regions for which the term, 'border' is used. Frontier also refers to uncharted territory and are usually guarded by security guards. Therefore, legally it is not permissible to cross frontiers between the countries.
