Help with 'a streetcar named desire' please?

Question:hi i am revising for my mock AS levels

i am revising a streetcar named desire at the moment.
it's quite difficult to revise a book.
so i thought i should do some practise essay questions like the exam ones. but i dont have any.

i think the exam question will be about this sort of thing:
- blanche and her past
- the new world versus the old world
- past versus present
- Something about the old south in America (Southern Gentlman/belle versus new... etc etc)

please can i have some exam questions??
it's such a good play so hopefully loads of people will know it well :)

thanks
