Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Much of Bilquis' learning comes from dreams. In your essay, summarize the meaning of the key dreams in her spiritual journey. Tell the lessons she learned from those dreams.

Essay Topic 2

Writers write for different purposes such as to inform, to entertain, or to persuade. In your essay, identify what purpose you think Bilquis had in making her story available through this book. Does it seem to you that she is proselytizing, trying to convert others? Why or why not?

Essay Topic 3

Bilquis speaks of feeling satisfied and complete when she is living "in the glory," and dark and sad when she is not. Yet many of her experiences "in the glory" are sad rather than joyful. In your essay, explore what the feeling she is attempting to describe might be like. Cite examples from the story to support your idea.
