Essay #1

Compose a 2-3 pp. CRITO-based, argumentative essay following closely the guidelines as indicated in handout QA (which identifies the necessary components of a successful essay; namely, 1. the essay; 2. the outline for the essay; 3. a bibliography containing minimally one outside reference; and 4. two substantive, unanswered questions for class discussion).  (Review as necessary handouts CR1-CR3, and raise questions in class this coming Wednesday.)  

Alternatively, you may employ a different mode of presentation (fiction; dialogue; poetry, etc.).  Simply attach the other three components (i.e., outline, bibliography, and 2 questions) to the body of your creation.

Topic: Compare and/or contrast some specific element(s) of the two disciplines, philosophy and literature. Your work may be either descriptive (addressing actual or conventional practices) or prescriptive (addressing your understanding of the way we ought to compare/contrast the two), or some combination of the two approaches.

Due date: Monday, February 26. (I initially said Friday in class, forgetting that we do not meet on Fridays!)
