Assignment Five: Themes of History

This is your final summer blog assignment. Responses should be posted by September 15th.

Over the course of the summer, you have examined several themes and connected those themes to pieces of literature (belief systems, geography, turning points, and imperialism). For this assignment, select two or three other themes that you uncovered while reading Siddhartha and "Shooting an Elephant." Define each theme and use evidence from the readings to explain why you chose those themes.
