Select one of the several discussion questions found in the Canvas assignment for that week. At the beginning of the paper clearly identify which question you are going to answer, then briefly explain why you chose that particular one. In the rest of the paper you will then answer that question by:

a) selecting and including in your paper two distinct passages from the text (Two quotes must be cited with page number) b) explaining and interpreting what you regard as the correct meaning of each passage c) considering their implications with regard to the text as a whole d) most importantly, explaining in detail why those two passages constitute important evidence to answer the specific question you chose to answer.
