SF 1: The Qur'an, The Rule Of St Benedict, And The Kagero Diary
Please cite title, page and if applicable, line number for any textual references as footnotes or simply parenthetically in the body of your paper. No need for a bibliography.
Please answer the following questions. You do not need to mesh them all into a single paper.
1.) The Qur'an, The Rule of St Benedict and the Kagero Diary rest on certain assumptions about what it is to be human and how one ought to live. Using evidence from the three texts, explain the understanding of human nature that emerges from each. Which one coincides most with your own?
2.) What is the significance of the use of 'shifting' pronouns in both the Kagero Diary and the Qur'an? How is it used as a way to create gender balance (especially in societies where there was very little)?
a.) How does the use of pronouns challenge the 'Western' concept of the individual? Please give specific examples.
3.) The Qur'an, The Rule of St Benedict and the Kagero Diary all offer us, as readers, insight into the past, into foreign (and sometimes familiar) worlds. This insight is necessarily filtered through our own mindsets and milieux, as well as those of the authors. What are some tools we might use to navigate this seeming sea of subjectivity? What kind of information is useful in delivering us accurate information about the past? What makes a source reliable?
