Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Lewis writes about affection being a simple type of love that even cats and dogs have the capacity to give. In fact, he notes that a prime, basic example of affection is the type that a dog has for a man, who like man, shows affection in association with the familiar. Write an essay that correlates some of the common traits that Lewis points out between affection displayed and experienced by a dog with that of a man (or woman). Does Lewis skillfully do that to prepare the reader for the introduction of charity on a higher plane at the end of the book? Or do you view the order that Lewis has presented the different types of love as unplanned? State and support your position.
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.
