RETURNING  TO  WALDEN  More than being examples of great writing and honing critical thinking skills, however, classic literature is important because it brings up universal themes that are important for today’s society.  One such example you read and wrote about, Thoreau’s Walden (with its peaceful associations with Nature and withdrawing at least temporarily from the hustle and bustle of modern society), has a relevance perhaps even more important today than when Thoreau published his book Walden in 1854.  As you read, Walden is even considered viable enough to see commercially a modern video game! Write at least two paragraphs of six sentences each on this topic: Explain how “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant has a theme with relevance for today.  Use at least one quote from the work.  Also, include in your discussion a commentary on how the work fulfills the comment by the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (quoted above) that “there is nothing that so greatly recreates the mind as the works of classic writers.” For more information on Walden read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walden

What’s his implicit message?   2. Why might Naguib Mahfouz end the novel with the words of Sheikh Darwish, the former English teacher, who has become homeless and penniless, but has found a certain liberation in rejecting the trappings of ‘modern’ life: the pursuit of wealth, status, ambition, desire to belong? Darwish says famously: “Let him who dies of love, die sad; there’s no good in any love, without death … [oh] fulfiller of all needs … mercy … mercy … I will be patient as long as I live. For do not all things come to an end … and the word for this in English is ‘end’ and it is spelled e-n-d.” PDF of book: https://faculty.sfsu.edu/sites/default/files/faculty_files/1203/Class/115-pdf/Mahfouz%2C%20Naguib%20-%20Midaq%20Alley-1.pdf For more information on read this:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naguib_Mahfouz
