For your second essay in this class, you will spend some time reflecting on one

For your second essay in this class, you will spend some time reflecting on one of the literary works assigned in the class from a Christian perspective. 
Steps in the Process
Choose a work assigned in this course that appeals to you from an emotional or aesthetic perspective.
Read the work several times (maybe read parts of it aloud) making note of the features that seem particularly beautiful, inspiring, emotional, meaningful, or true. Consider the following questions (and pick one to focus on): Focus your thoughts into an argument about how the work of literature helps us better understand aspects of the Christian faith.
How does the work help us better value goodness?
How does the work help us better understand Truth?
How does the work help us better recognize and appreciate beauty?
Compose a thesis-driven, organized essay presenting your argument and using textual support for your points.
Notes
Although your essay will be thesis-driven, it is not a literary analysis. Do not simply pick a theme or a literary device and make an argument about that aspect of the work.
It will almost certainly be easier to do this assignment well if you choose a shorter piece of literature or a small section of a long work, rather than, for instance, the entirety of Julius Caesar.
You should not do any significant research on the literary work, since the assignment is on your own reflections about it.
