Unravel that web that Lewis has spun, and write an essay explaining your understanding of what the author attempts to convey and conclude about the possibility of friendships blooming and lasting between women and men.
Essay Topic 2
Even love of home, family, and country have, in a way, been discouraged by Lewis. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? Write an essay focusing on the potentially harmful aspects of patriotism that Lewis writes about. Do you agree, as he suggests, that your level of patriotism should be maintained at a healthy level? Would you rather raise it to a much higher level? Why or why not?
Essay Topic 3
Lewis suggests that we not rely on nature to justify the existence of God. Do you agree or disagree? Write an essay focusing on that aspect of the book. Lewis suggests that we should not make anything of nature. He suggests that we take it for what it is--but he does emphasize that one way that it should not be used (or misused) is to use it in place of religion, and rely on it to justify the existence of God.
