Unit 4 discussion - World Literature

Select one reading from each list below, and—in a two to three paragraph response—compare and contrast the way that they present the basic ideas of the Enlightenment: Social Awareness, Individual Liberty and Accountability, and the role of Reason versus Emotions.

Consider the following in your discussion:

• Use of satire
  
  
• Form and approach of the work (i.e. narrative fiction, drama, essay)
  
  
• Position of oppression (i.e. slavery, rights of women)

Once you have completed your initial post, read and respond to the posts of at least 2 of your peers. Your initial post and your peer responses should be substantive (well thought out and logically organized) and original (do not copy and paste).  Also, check the course calendar for discussion due dates.
