Using concepts from traditions in Western culture create a dialogue between one of the following pairs:
Mary Wollstonecraft and Nora
Schopenhauer and Helmer
Paul and Harriet Jacobs
Nora and Harriet Jacobs
If you would like to put different pairs into dialogue you may do so -- provided you consult with your tutorial leader.
You may choose one of the following concepts:
freedom and equality of citizens
male-female relations
Christian morality
hierarchy
You should introduce the dialogue in an opening paragraph where you set out your 'take' on the concepts and set a context for the dialogue. The dialogue should be written as though you were writing a play. Your paper should have a cover sheet with the title of your dialogue, your name, student number, professor's name, course name and the date.
Late essays are a problem, especially in summer courses when the time lines are so tight. You must submit your papers on time.
