**DUE MONDAY— mini essay— from Earth's Holocaust by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Due Monday — this will count for a seminar grade.
Write a three-paragraph mini essay in response to the following question:
“If reason and goodwill are not enough to purify the human heart, what hope is there for moral progress?”
Requirements:
Three paragraphs total
Paragraph 1: Explain what Hawthorne suggests about reason and goodwill in Earth’s Holocaust.
Paragraph 2: Discuss what other alternatives or forces the story points toward (for example: faith, sacrifice, imagination, human nature, etc.).
Paragraph 3: Reflect on what you think Hawthorne is ultimately saying about the hope for moral progress.
Evidence:
Use one direct, well-integrated quote from the story in each paragraph to support your ideas.
Blend the quote into your sentence smoothly (not just dropped in).
Conclusion:
In the final paragraph, briefly explain whether you agree or disagree with Hawthorne’s implication, and why.
Reminders:
Write in complete sentences.
Stay focused on answering the prompt.
Be thoughtful and clear in your reasoning.
