First Quarter Capstone Essay
17 September 2008 10:06 PM
Many
people have suggested that Western culture is “losing faith in
faith.” Others scoff at this notion, saying instead that our
understanding of faith has merely evolved. Is faith in something
greater than ourselves an anachronism of a past ridden with human
superstitions, or is it a universal human quality that fulfills a
genuine need? Explain your response in a well-organized essay in
which you compare and contrast attitudes toward faith as presented
by Life of Pi and one of the following novels: The Road,
Slaughterhouse Five, Siddhartha, or Ceremony.
