1. You are having a dinner party, and guess who’s coming to dinner! Your guests will be Thomas More, King Lear, Candide, Frederick Douglass, and Morrie Schwarz. Yes, it will be quite a gathering! At dinner, you bring up the subject of human suffering. How might each of your guests respond? Who are you most looking forward to hearing speak, and why?
2. For your second essay, design a relevant question and then answer it. You should concentrate on what we have studied and discussed: A Man for All Seasons, Hamlet, Candide, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, and Tuesdays with Morrie. For your question and answer, try to consider and synthesize the themes we have covered in this class, keeping in mind that this is a Humanities course, so your emphasis should be on the human element. (For example, how have the texts we’ve studied contributed to your understanding of the human condition?its struggles, its triumphs, challenges faced, and opportunities discovered?). Focus on the individual pieces, of course, but keep before you the “big picture” so you can write inclusively and comprehensively.
I very much look forward to seeing what you can do.
