Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Based on the information that Lewis offers about charity in the last portion of his book, write an essay addressing your opinion on the following: Do you agree or disagree that it was possible that he published his message about Divine love and charity because he loved mankind and was practicing "charity" himself as he was writing the chapter focusing on it? Or is it possible that he was simply writing it to point out to those reading his book that human love, as we know it, basically is good only in moderation, but not worth pursuing with fervor because of its inherent, all-consuming, ever-present factor that could be hurtful to us?

Essay Topic 2

Since having read the chapter on charity, what type of attitude changes have you experienced, if any, with respect to love? Do you still perceive love to be the type that Lewis labels as natural, the type that is directed toward specific individuals only? Or are you now, following your reading of the chapter on charity, ready to abandon all of your former ideas about love and make charity your goal and quest? Write an essay focusing on the aforementioned questions.

Essay Topic 3

Somewhere along the way, as he explains the joy and pitfalls associated with love, does the author deliver an underlying message to love ourselves? Does he tend to direct us toward protection by guiding the reader toward charity? Does his exhibition of protection toward us (whom he did not know or meet) serve as an expression of his love and compassion for mankind, and ultimately serve as his expression of charity? Write an essay focusing your thoughts and writings on the message that you receive from Lewis' last chapter, and the aforementioned questions.
