MAIN Assignment
Remember, this prompt needs to be no less than 350-words. You must respond to one classmate, as well (150 words). I am picky about word count, so please don't write less than the required amount (you can always write more).
Also, include two quotes from the readings. Please write in the topic "Questions for Week 3," if you have any questions.
Please select either Prompt 1 or Prompt 2 Prompt 1: What does Wolf mean when he says that the Virgin of Guadalupe is a master symbol? What does that symbol teach us about Mexican society? (To write this prompt, you can use what you've read from the Wolf article and pages 46-49 in your main textbook). OR Prompt 2: In America, why do some people handle snakes as part of their religion? What does snake-handling represent and how does it help them? What does it mean to survive a snake bite? (To write this prompt, you can use what you've learned from the Daugherty article AND what you've read in Covington.)
