Topic 3: Has the current pandemic and economic fallout shifted your focus or post secondary plans? Have you considered changing a major; double majoring, or changing a career focus? Discuss.

The Godfather Essay Prompts

You are expected to use the full class time to write your essay. I will extend the time due to upload it as a result of the Schoology outage.  Please carefully read each of the prompts--there are seven of them. Your essay should demonstrate reading the entire novel.  Or you may choose to select a prompt and focus primarily on the second to latter end of the novel.  I understand that you will probably need additional time.  Do not consult other sources aside from your book, notes, etc.
