PAPER ASSIGNMENT ON THE SUNFLOWER

DUE: TBA





Read Simon Wiesenthal's account in The Sunflower and the responses of the other writers in the book. Write your own response to Wiesenthal's question "What should I have done?" [or "what would you have done in the same situation?"] in an essay of about 500-750 words. [2-3 pages] You may refer to the responses of the others in the book in your paper, whether to support their advice to Wiesenthal or to disagree with it. Give reasons and arguments for your decision. Make clear how you interpret the conflict between the demand for justice and the need for forgiveness.
