1) Compose an 800-1000 word essay using at least two (but no more than four) secondary sources (academic-quality sources accessed through the APUS Library catalog or databases, not sources from the open web!) and references to the primary sources (readings and films). Essay must be in MLA format and include both in-text citations and a works cited page.

2) In what ways are the love stories at the center of Anna Karenina and Love in the Time of Cholera alike and different? Feel free to discuss Anna and Vronsky, Anna and Karenin, and/or Levin and Kitty (from Anna Karenina) and Florentino and Fermina, or Urbino and Fermina (from Love in the Time of Cholera). What do these similarities or differences say about the nature of love? Do they imply that love is a universal constant or something that is shaped by time and place?

Note that you should use at least two (but no more than four) credible secondary sources of a historical, cultural, social, or literary focus. Be sure these are sources from the APUS Library databases or catalog, not sources from the open web (and never Wikipedia, Sparknotes, About.com, wikiHow, etc). Sources must be cited in MLA format (both in-text and on a works cited page).
