Block Day, Week 16: CWP, Tolkien, and Midsummer

* Pray

* Collect CWP

* Make sure you CWP has been submitted to turnitin.com on Focus.  If you wrote a legend (with cool handwriting, etc.), you are exempt.

* Tolkien

- Next week, you will be writing your Tolkien essay.  This will be a smaller assignment (15 points) that you will turn in on next week's block day and then bring with you to the final exam.  When you take the final exam, you will be comparing a common theme in Midsummer and The Hobbit (or another outside reading if you are not reading The Hobbit because you had already read it).  Next week's essay will help prepare you for the final exam.

Outside Reading Background:

"Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry" (ESV Col. 3:5).  The Apostle Paul reminds us that covetousness (or greed) is idolatry (false worship).  Covetousness is excessively desiring someone or something, especially a someone or something that does not belong to us.  Covetousness is a sin that blinds us and hurts us and others.

Prompt: Identify a greedy character from your outside reading; explain how this character's covetousness supports the theme that covetousness is a blinding, destructive sin. 

Use specific support (at least two quotations) from your text to defend your thesis. 

This response should be two pages, typed, double-spaced (in the MLA format) and submitted to turnitin.com on Focus by Dec. 8.
