<p>LITERATURE</p>
<p>The 2 Greek Epics Iliad and Odyssey - If you read them, you’d realize that they can seriously be used for any essay prompt. They have themes of hubris, downfall, role of women, custom v. law, temptation… ANYTHING.</p>
<p>The 3 Theban Play (mainly Oedipus the King and Antigone) - These plays can be used for any essay… Once again tragedy, downfall, law, loyalty, honesty, family, and love are found here.</p>
<p>Beowulf - A classic Old English poem can be used for loyalty, love, nationalism, war, evil v. good, travel, and competition.</p>
<p>The Kite Runner - Loyalty, friendship, immigration, truth, race, sexism, ethnicity, the hardship of children.</p>
<p>The Bible - Ummm yeah. It’s the Bible. It’s 2000 pages long. You’ll find something to write about, but just hope that your essay grader isn’t Buddhist/Atheist/Anti-Christian or Semitic/or just plain old biased. Avoid the themes of love in the New Testament… don’t want to offend any Jews. Stick to the Old Testament, but avoid Maccabees… it’s not in the Jewish Bible.</p>
<p>Harry Potter - Seriously, are you in 1st grade?</p>

<p>HISTORY & PEOPLE </p>
<p>John Paul II - His life was about protection, loyalty, honesty, faith, goodness, battle with evil, forgiveness, and bravery in times of danger.</p>
<p>MLK - You should know enough about him.</p>
<p>Obama - DON’T WRITE ABOUT HIM… JUST DON’T. WE DON’T WANT TO START A POLITICAL WAR.</p>
