Directions for Composition
Praise two different beliefs in close comparison, or praise one and vituperate against the other. Be certain not to treat them separately, but together, in parallel fashion. After composing an exordium (introduction), follow these steps:
- Describe, side-by-side, the origin of each belief
- what people?
- what country?
- what background did it come from?
- what founders?
- Describe, side-by-side how each belief has contributed to
- education
- art
- laws
- Compare side-by-side each belief's results in the real world over
history, which should be described as the results
of
- its excellencies or evils of mind (such as personal strength/weakness or prudence/indiscretion)
- its excellencies or evils of body (such as beauty/plainness, speed/lethargy, or physical fitness/lack of physical fitness)
- its excellencies or evils of fortune (good/bad use of high position, power, wealth, or friends)
- Conclude with an epilogue including either an exhortation to your readers to/not to join the other belief, or a prayer.
