The following assignments are a form of mercy, which is, of course, a central theme in the novel, Song of Solomon. Complete them immediately and with seriousness to boost your grade. They are due on Friday April 30, in class. NO EXCUSES!
CHOOSE ONLY ONE ASSIGNMENT FROM THE THREE LISTED BELOW!
Choose one character from the novel who has a Biblical name. Identify and explain one way the character is similar to their Biblical doppelganger and one way they are entirely different. You are expected to write two paragraphs (six sentences each) for the similarity and two paragraphs (six sentences each) for the difference.
25 points per paragaph
Pilate- Pontius Pilate – John 18-19
Hagar – Genesis 16: 1-23
Solomon - Song of Solomon 1-8
Ruth – Book of Ruth 1-4 Old Testament after the Book of Ecclesiastes
Magdalene – Luke 8: 1-2; Luke 24:1-12

Create and design an aesthetically pleasing family tree for the Dead family, starting with Solomon and Ryna all the way up to Milkman. You may draw it and color it or use an electronic version found online. It must include marriages, affairs, births, deaths, and locations (states).
Write a denouement for the book which answers what happens to all the characters, living or dead with the temporal frame of immediately after the leap or up to 10 years later. This must be 4 paragraphs of at least six sentences per paragraph. If you dare, mimic Toni Morrison’s style of writing.
