Amenemope Essay

In an essay of about 3 pages double-spaced, answer the following:

1. Do you think that the writer of Proverbs 22:17-24:22 has a fundamentally different worldview and purpose in writing than the author of the Instruction of Amenemope? Why or why not?
2. What is the relationship between Proverbs 22-24 and the Instruction of Amenemope? Why do you think this?

In this essay you SHOULD

• Use a classic essay structure (introduction with clear thesis, body paragraphs that make points to support your thesis, conclusion that shows how you proved your thesis with their supporting arguments).
• Give supporting evidence for all of your claims! You should use quotes from BOTH primary sources.  You can also use lists of references.
• Cite your sources. What chapter and verse of Proverbs? What chapter of Amenemope?

            Please do NOT assume that quotations speak for themselves. Always explain how the quotation is significant for your argument.

            Remember, being clear and organized is what is most important in academic writing!  More details to follow.

            This is an individual assignment.  Please do not share your essay with other students. (See Academic Honesty and Conduct section of Course Policies.) If you have questions, please ask me.
