Answer the following prompt with a 2-3.5 page paper:
In Plato’s Apology we are told the story of Socrates, who is accused of crimes he did not commit
and sentenced to death. In the face of death, Socrates laments of themes like virtue, honesty, and divine
purpose. In Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilych, we meet a much less romantic situation. Ivan’s life is
described as ordinary and, because of this, terrible. His life has the appearance of success, yet his
problems are common and his death is not easy. While these stories are of two distinct types, at least
one theme remains shared: the link between suffering and authenticity is real.
Your assignment should answer this question: What is the relationship between suffering and
authenticity?
Your answer should take the following form:
2 – 3 ½ pages, double spaced, size 12 font, Times New Romans. Your paper should begin with the EXACT
paragraph from your outline: “In the paper, I will argue _____________. To do this, I will first…etc.”. It
should also end with the EXACT same paragraph, just in the past tense: “In the paper, I argued
_________. To do this, I first argued…etc.”. Included a copy of your formal analysis to the front of your
paper. YOUR PAPER NEEDS TO FOLLOW YOUR ANALYSIS. There are no requirements for MLA, APA,
Chicago, etc, just meet the basic requirements listed above. There will be a server grade reduction for
papers that do not meet the exact page requirements (so be efficient and only use sentences you
need).
