You will answer the questions
“How well does the book deal with issues of science and technology?”

What kinds of argument does the book make about technological innovations?
Are these arguments persuasive? Why or why not? (Note that you need to support your arguments even when you agree with the author. Don’t just repeat the author’s arguments, or say the book is “persuasive.” Explain why.)
● How could the argument be improved?

Voltaire, Always the Critic: Many of the events of Candide closely parallel (if not outright depict) historical events that took place in Europe either just prior to or during Voltaire’s time. Based on examples from the book, who or what, according to Voltaire, is responsible for the terrible events and issues he associates with modern Europe? In other words, how is Voltaire responding to grave political or social issues and events of his time through Candide? What individuals, institutions, or ideologies does he condemn with his criticism and satire? Why does he put blame on these forces and what audience is he trying to reach, in the process? Consider the context of European politics and culture in the 18th Century in your response.
This is not an opportunity to retell the story apart from giving necessary background for specific pieces of evidence; you should write analysis, not a book report.

Analyze the most important aspects of chapter two. Tell me in your intro what the themes of the chapter are, why you chose it, what a student of history ought to learn from it, what you might have learned that surprised you or if you learned something that you never knew.

As you write your paper you should keep in mind the quotations. What lessons of history might we learn? What truths can we discover? What IS history? What, if anything, did you learn about human nature in your chapter?

Try to ask questions, don’t jump to conclusions, and be open to learning about things from a different or new perspective. You should try to be cautious and fair about drawing conclusions, and you need to look clearly at all the evidence.
