Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Jim wrote, "God deliver me from the dread asbestos of 'other things.' Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame. But a flame is transient, often short-lived." In your opinion, do you believe Jim's flame of fire is ever ignited? Given flames extinguish over time, is Jim's death the final extinguisher for his fire? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

Essay Topic 2

The Cascade Range, extending north and south, divides Oregon into distinct eastern and western regions, each of which contains a great variety of landforms. There is a relatively low mountain system on the western edge of the state. The two-thirds of the state lying east of the Cascade Range consists generally of arid plateaus cut by river canyons, with rolling hills in the north-central portion giving way to the Blue Mountains in the northeast. Fault-block ridges, weathered buttes, and remnants of large prehistoric lakes characterize the Great Basin in the southeast. How does this geographic wonderland prepare Jim for his missionary endeavors? What lessons from nature does Jim learn which are useful for Jim in the Ecuadorian jungle? What lessons can one learn from respecting and participating in outdoor activities?

Essay Topic 3

Perhaps more than any other human grouping, the Indian tribe known to its neighbors as the Aucans (the word means "naked savage") exemplifies raw humanity in its unredeemed state. Aside from curiosity of seeing an airplane, why does the three Aucan Indians step out of the jungle to see the missionaries? What do you believed happened when the three Aucans returned to their tribe in the jungle? Why do the Aucans distrust the Indians?
