Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
One question that can be addressed is whether Lewis assumed that everyone reading his book would reach and read its last section on charity. Is the idea conceivable that not every one of his readers read the book in its entirety and missed his hard-hitting message about the nature of charity at the end? Which type of love inspires you and do you strive for after having read Lewis' book? Are you still applying like, love, affection, and friendship in the traditional way, or viewing them in a different way that has led you away from it and toward seeking charity?
Essay Topic 2
Since having read the chapter on charity, what type of attitude changes have you experienced, if any, with respect to love? Do you still perceive love to be the type that Lewis labels as natural, the type that is directed toward specific individuals only? Or are you now, following your reading of the chapter on charity, ready to abandon all of your former ideas about love and make charity your goal and quest? Write an essay focusing on the aforementioned questions.
Essay Topic 3
Friendship and affection, according to Lewis, are not connected, but rather are separate emotions. Write an essay explaining what you understand Lewis is referring to in relation to friendship and affection being separate emotions, and elaborate on whether you agree or disagree with Lewis on that point. Support your position with direct text or paraphrase.
