Winston
Churchill once said, “I felt as if I were walking with destiny, and that all my
past life had been but a preparation for this hour and this trial.” Presumably, Churchill alludes to some belief
in destiny. Take time to ponder your
thoughts on the topic of destiny. Is
there such a thing as fate or destiny that predetermines the actions of our
lives? Or are we free to choose our own
course in life? Either way, you are to
formulate your opinion on the topic of fate vs. free-will. Show how your opinion is different or similar
to the views being expressed in the Oedipus
the King, Minority Report, The
Alchemist, and if possible “DNA as Destiny.” Organize your thoughts before you begin
writing. This is to be a formal response
in MLA format. All formal paper rules
apply. Do include a works cited page as
the last page of your document. Please
use turnitin.com to submit your paper.
The paper should be approximately 2-3 pages in length. Late papers will be penalized a letter grade
for each day that it is late.
