Both Paul and Augustine experience literal and figurative journeys in their respective stories. Over the course of these travels they are exposed to ideas that challenge their previously held beliefs. Do they respond in similar ways? Do their ideas or frameworks for understanding the world help one or both of them reconcile what they thought they knew with their newfound truths? This prompt is about philosophical systems interacting with the human world. You need to combine an argument as to how both Paul’s and Augustine’s philosophical frameworks collide, contradict and/or coexist with their lived experiences. Be specific in both the philosophical approaches and lived experiences sections of your essay. Remember to include a counterargument in your essay. Finally, there needs to be something that links the two people throughout the essay. This isn’t an apples to oranges comparison as their are multiple points of comparison between the two people. You should clearly highlight those for the reader and make them part of your argument.
