What connections can you make across time periods? Do any of these works remind you of one another? What are the similarities/difference?
How was writing used as a method for social change? (or at least exposing follies or injustices)
How does the acquisition of knowledge, education, and/or experience often coincide with loss/pain/suffering? Explain using one of the works we’ve read this semester.
