Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Dinah's bond with Re-mose is not the typical mother-son bond that many people have. She attempts to create a relationship with her son but is torn from him. Do you think the situation would have been different if Re-mose would have been born a girl? Would he have been important to Re-nefer?

Essay Topic 3

What is the difference between Dinah's relationship with Benia and her relationship with Shalem? What you label these two relationships? Why?
