Choose a work assigned in this course that appeals to you from an
emotional or aesthetic perspective.
Read the work several times (maybe read parts of it
aloud) making note of the features that seem particularly beautiful, inspiring, emotional,
meaningful, or true. Consider the following questions:
How does the work help us better value goodness?
How does the work help us better understand Truth?
How does the work help us
better recognize and appreciate beauty?
Focus your thoughts into an argument about how
the work of literature helps us better understand aspects of the Christian faith.
Compose a
thesis-driven, organized essay presenting your argument and using textual support for your
points.
Notes
Although your essay will be thesis-driven, it is not a literary analysis. Do not
simply pick a theme or a literary device and make an argument about that aspect of the work.
It will almost certainly be easier to do this assignment well if you choose a shorter piece of
literature or a small section of a long work, rather than, for instance, the entirety of Julius
Caesar.
You should not do any significant research on the literary work, since the assignment
is on your own reflections about it.
Style and Length
Your essay should be written in correct
MLA format, and it should be between 1000-1500 words long.
