Choose one of the three reading selections from the list of topic choices below. Read the selection in the textbook. Write a three to four paragraph essay (250 words) which analyzes the "surprise ending" of the reading selection.

Topic Choices:

1. Reading selection from Descartes' Discourse on the Method. Descartes begins with the problem of being able to prove his own existence but ends up with an argument proving the existence of God. Read more about the Discourse on the Method.

2. Reading selection from Swift's A Modest Proposal. Swift begins with offering the solution that the English could do things which might solve the problem of over-population and the mistreatment of citizens in Ireland and ends by offering the solution that an internal change in the Irish government would best solve the problem of over-population and a populace victimized by its own government. Read more about A Modest Proposal.

3. Two reading selections from Voltaire's Candide. The story begins by acknowledging the foolishness of the superstitious traditions held by the people in the city of Lisbon but ends by confirming Voltaire's belief that religion in general is equally based in false superstitions.

For the reading selection you choose:

1. Clearly state in your own words the "surprise ending" in the reading you selected. Identify the point in the reading when you realized that the ending would be different from what the beginning of the reading suggested that it would be.

2. Since you were expecting a different ending, evaluate how successful the author was in convincing you to accept the validity of the "surprise ending" that was not clearly suggested at the beginning.
