Seeking Good <\/p>\n
\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Virtue and vice have been
themes throughout history. The authors of Great Books are considered the foundational
to shaping civilization in various periods of time. Chapter XIX Dantes has a
turning point: \u201cFarewell too all sentiments that gladden the heart. I have
substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of
vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked!\u201d He turns his attention
from rewarding the good to punishing the wicked. Readers are aware of this
duality of good and evil. This theme continues in Chapter XX when Dantes
explains he never wants to duel to take vengeance. Similarly, in Chapter XXIV,
Villefort states, \u201cWhat\u2019s happening now is only natural; it\u2019s the law of
reprisals.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Write a midterm essay based
on one [only one] of the follow options.\u00a0
In each option, the assignment is to not only respond to the prompt by finding

Option 1 Seeking education benefits us, but there are different forms
of education. Look at examples in the novel of what Edmond Dantes learned from
the Priest Faria while they lived side by side in prison. You can categorize
the type of education by referring to \u201cLearning to Read,\u201d by Malcolm X posted
under Blog 4. <\/p>\n
Or refer to the following link: http:\/\/www.passionineducation.com\/types-of-education-formal-informal-non-formal\/ or the reading provided. Bring in the novel and your
own personal experiences. Both sources should be on the Works Cited page. <\/p>\n
\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Option 2 One theme in the novel emphasizes rewarding the good and
avenging or revenging the bad. Make connection between the novel and only
one of the following worldviews and personal experiences: <\/p>\n
\u00a0 <\/p>\n
*Buddhist worldview: Based on the article \u201cWhat is Karma\u201d by Joseph Castro,
refer to the following link: https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/41462-what-is-karma.html \u00a0[otherwise
find your own article]. Find examples in the novel and based on your personal
experiences. Include both sources on the Works Cited page. <\/p>\n
\u00a0 <\/p>\n
* Christian worldview: You can refer to the following article \u201cWhat
does the Bible say about revenge?\u201d at https:\/\/www.gotquestions.org\/revenge-vengeance.html [otherwise find your own article]. Another angle on
this is how good can come from the evil actions of others:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.str.org\/articles\/a-good-reason-for-evil#.Xg37qc9KiRs Find examples in the novel and based on your personal
experiences. Both sources should be on the Works Cited page <\/p>\n
* Muslim view of retaliation on the value of revenge in a
just society. Example: refer to \u201cRevenge vs Forgiveness: An Uphill Battle
Against Ourselves?\u201d at https:\/\/www.dar-alifta.org\/foreign\/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=1749<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
