EXTRA CREDIT (30 POINTS MAXIMUM)
Please choose ONE (1) of the following options:
Option A-Research/Opinion
There are no right or wrong answers to this one, though it will require you to do a bit of research on your own. Look up some more about the conflicting principles of Ma'at and Isfet, and summarize them in your own words. In your opinion, does such a conflict exist in our world today? If so, how? 300 word minimum.
Option B-Writing
You are a new soul starting out on your journey to Duat. There is only one small little problem. Set is up to his old tricks and determined to make life miserable for his nephew Osiris, and has come along to erase all of the carefully and beautifully written funerary spells and songs prepared for you. Alas, as much as it pains him, Osiris is forced to ask for your help--time is of the essence and Set must be stopped before he can cause further mischief. It is up to you, therefore, to write either a funerary spell/song to continue your journey to Duat or tell the story of how you accompany Osiris to aid him in stopping Set. Your choice. 300 word minimum.
Option C-Art
Illustrate anything that was discussed in the lesson, be it a person, a place, event, etc. This can be done via a computer program (such as Photoshop, Paintshop, etc) or hand-drawn. As long as it is your own work, I am not particular. Just remember, to make sure and upload them to a file sharing site (such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc).
NO ATTACHMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
