About the four short papers

Write the question (single-spaced) before you proceed to answer it (double-spaced). Italicize or underline the important words or parts of the prompt, and underline in bold what constitutes the question(s) per se.
I won't look closely at it: this exercise is for you to make sure you answer the question(s) correctly.

Example:
In lecture on Tuesday, January 15th we discussed the question of what constitutes an “event” in the Inferno. Things seem to stay more or less the same, with at least one notable exception: the crucifixion of Christ which both left a physical trace (the earthquake / landslide) and redistributed the population of the underworld. If you choose this topic you can discuss the question, whether or not Dante’s trip through the underworld also introduces a change or could be considered a significant event. This can be argued from both sides, so what evidence can you give to support your point of view? Alternatively, you can suggest another example of a possible “event” in the Inferno which you think leads to a significant development.

It should be a two-page paper but if it goes a little bit longer than two pages, that's fine.
