Now that you have a better understanding of Historicism, it’s your turn to do some research. For this discussion, find two historical sources that you can use to further your understanding of one of the readings. Remember those themes we mentioned? You can use those ideas to start your research. You can also use dates, the author’s background, or like in the sample, the setting of a text can help your search. What you want to avoid is simply googling a historical analysis of one of the readings. Sure, that is a source you can use, but try your hand at some original thought; then you can use someone’s historical analysis to help make your point.

What is he getting at with this distinction? He talks of priests and kings to illustrate his argument, but can you think of more contemporary examples to explain the meaning and significance of his point?PROMPT #2: As a picaresque novella, Candide moves quickly from one adventure to another, each poking fun at some aspect of European society in the 1700s.
