Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
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.

Author Lewis places charity above all the other loves that he describes in his book. Do you agree with his assertion that charity is the ultimate type of love to pursue and possess? Do you disagree? Why or why not? Write an essay elaborating on the aforementioned observations and questions that have been raised as you have been reading and studying The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis.
Essay Topic 3
Somewhere along the way, as he explains the joy and pitfalls associated with love, does the author deliver an underlying message to love ourselves? Does he tend to direct us toward protection by guiding the reader toward charity? Does his exhibition of protection toward us (whom he did not know or meet) serve as an expression of his love and compassion for mankind, and ultimately serve as his expression of charity? Write an essay focusing your thoughts and writings on the message that you receive from Lewis' last chapter, and the aforementioned questions.
