Gary Wills Cicero

Gary Wills Cicero
Paper instructions:
Create an original, “grabber” title for your essay and number your pages. Provide an introduction and a conclusion in your
essay. Use the third person voice only. Do not use “I,” “me,” mine” “we,” “our” “your,” “you,” or “us.” It is possible to express
your opinion in the third person; editorial writers do this sort of thing regularly. Use the past tense, as one always should
when writing about history–the past– and stay away from the dreaded “false” present tense that inexplicably has become so
popular in history documentaries. Avoid slang–that you must also avoid vulgarity should go without saying. Remember to
carefully proofread your papers for spelling, grammar, factual content, and overall clarity. If writing is a challenge for you, I
encourage you to visit Darton State College’s fine writing center well ahead of the paper due date. If you decude to take
advantage of the Writing center, you will need to do so early since there is usually a backlog of papers at the Writing
Center.
Answer all of the following questions in the order provided. You need not restate the questions; simply write your responses
in paragraph form and in complete sentences. You should devote approximately a typed page for each response.
1) According to Korb, what religion did most of Palestine’s inhabitants practice in the year one? What were some of the
dietary restrictions and important rituals observed by the adherents of this religion? Does Korb provide any rationale for
these practices? Why or why not?
2) What did it mean to be “unclean” in Palestine during the year one? Was there more than one type of uncleanliness?
Explain.
3) What were the lives of women like in Palestine during the year one? In what ways were women restricted? What rights, if
any, did they enjoy?
4) According to Gary Wills (in a quotation from Cicero), what constituted the “extremest penalty” in first-century Palestine?
Why? Please provide numerous and pertinent details in your response.
