Pаrt II: Cоmpаrаtive Essays — Chооse TWO Instructions: Choose TWO of the following THREE essay prompts. Each essay is worth 25 points, for a total of 50 points. Clearly identify the two prompts you have chosen. You do not need to answer the third prompt. Your responses should make a clear argument and use specific examples from the assigned readings. Because this is a closed-resource exam, you are not expected to memorize or reproduce direct quotations. Instead, demonstrate your understanding through accurate discussion of characters, events, ideas, themes, and symbols from the texts. Your strongest responses will do more than summarize what happened. They will explain what the texts suggest about the larger human questions we have studied this semester. Essay 1 — What Does It Mean to Be Human? Throughout the first half of this course, we have encountered very different ideas about what makes human life meaningful. Choose TWO works from different cultural traditions and compare what they suggest about what it means to be human. Your response might consider ideas such as creation, mortality, memory, relationships, responsibility, suffering, knowledge, duty, or human limitations. Possible works include Genesis, The Popol Vuh, The Epic of Gilgamesh, The Ramayana, Sundiata, The Odyssey, Oedipus the King, Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave,” or the assigned Norse readings. In your response, explain one important similarity or difference between the two works and use specific characters, events, symbols, or ideas from each text to support your interpretation. Big Question: What do these two traditions suggest human beings most need to understand about themselves? Essay 2 — What Makes Someone a Hero or Leader? Our readings have given us very different kinds of heroes and leaders. Some are warriors. Some survive exile. Some learn through suffering. Some accept responsibility or duty. Some succeed because of intelligence rather than strength. Others demonstrate what happens when power, pride, or knowledge is handled badly. Choose TWO heroic or leadership figures from different works and compare what their stories suggest about what makes someone worthy of admiration, leadership, or respect. You might consider figures such as Gilgamesh, Rama, Sundiata, Odysseus, Oedipus, the Hero Twins, or figures from the assigned Norse readings. Do not simply list their heroic qualities. Consider how the characters are tested, what they learn or fail to learn, and what their stories suggest about the responsibilities or limitations of a hero or leader. Use specific events from both works to support your argument. Big Question: Is greatness something a person is born with, something they achieve, or something they learn through struggle? Essay 3 — The Dangerous Desire to Know, Control, or Escape Again and again, our readings show human beings confronting something they cannot completely control: knowledge, fate, death, divine authority, human limits, or the future. Choose TWO works from different cultural traditions and compare how characters respond when they encounter a truth, limit, or force they cannot simply overcome. For example, you might consider Adam and Eve and knowledge, the builders of Babel and human limits, Gilgamesh and mortality, Rama and duty, Odysseus and the limits of his journey, Oedipus and truth/fate, Plato’s prisoners and reality, or the Norse gods and Ragnarok. Explain what each character or culture does in response to that limit and whether the text presents that response as wise, destructive, courageous, necessary, or something more complicated. Use specific moments from both works to support your interpretation. Big Question: What do these works suggest human beings should do when they discover that some things cannot be controlled or escaped?
