Journal: Last entry due Thursday
" Over the years Othello has left critics and viewers of the play wondering and debating: does Shakespeare provide Iago with enough human motivation for the malevolent acts he commits? Is it plausible that the intelligent, noble Othello could fall so quickly into Iago's trap, turning from blissful newlyweb to murderer in three days?
Is the play deeply flawed, or is it disturving and challenging because of it 'problems'? Do the play's problems provoke you to think deeply about human nature, or would they be better 'fixed' by a rewrite?

I came across a great website several years back called Storycorps. Their aim is to tell every great story that an American has to tell. The original author tells his story and then this story is set to animation. It's a great website, one that I recommended. One particular story reminds me of a poem we studied in Unit One. Thought I'd share it with you here as time did not allow for it in class.

1. Vonnegut's message seems to say that individual civil rights should never be sacrificed the alleged common good. Do you see examples of this in 1984? Comment on both.

2. Vonnegut shows what extraordinary strength can do: defy the laws of gravity and motion; but Vonnegut also shows that strength can be used to oppress the weak, even in the name of protecting the weak against the excesses of the strong. Is this the case in 1984? Support with examples from both.

Quiz Monday for part 2 of Nineteen Eighty Four

If you ain't prepared don't even show up at my door.

Not trying to scare you or freak you out,

If you're 'over' Big Brother and hating this novel,

I can't make you like it by now and won't grovel.

So hang in there: soon 'Eighty Four will go away.

Final Exam for Mere Christianity

Take Home Essay Topic #2.

2)  In an introduction to a broadcast given on January 11th of the published text, Lewis explains why he was chosen to give the talks: “...first of all because I’m a layman and not a parson, and consequently it was thought I might understand the ordinary person’s point of view a bit better. Secondly, I think they asked me because it was known that I’d been an atheist for many years and only became a Christian quite fairly recently. They thought that would mean I’d be able to see the difficulties – able to remember what Christianity looks like from the outside.” Do you think Lewis has succeeded in representing the ordinary person’s view of Christianity? In what ways might his atheism and later conversion have affected his relationship to Christian beliefs? Do his convictions gain weight because he struggled to arrive at them?

Some pointers:

Remember final exams are two hours with an additional hour if needed, but this time given is to answer all essay topics from all CS modules. Give yourself, then, the appropriate amount of time for this essay. There is no word limit, but it is a final exam.

You do not need to submit a paper copy unless you want to as I do not make notes on final exams. Marks are given, recorded and exams are kept by the teacher. All papers must come in no later than 9:10 on Tuesday morning.   rloconte@carverchristian.org

Once I have recorded all your marks for this module, I will give you a paper copy of your mark for this module.

It has been great starting Christian Studies with you and best wishes in your next three modules.
