Directions:
- electronic copy: e-mail me at victor.leuci@westminster-mo.edu; the name of your
attached file (not the subject header of your e-mail) should be:
- S16-215-P4-Last Name, First Name (e.g. S16-215-P4-Leuci, Victor)

- Sources: Use only the sources mentioned in the individual topics below
- In-text Citations
- you must have in-text citations for your sources of information (facts, theories, parts of myths, etc.)
- every main body paragraph should have in-text citations (you want at least 2 good examples with citations per paragraph)
- "Liminality:" for in-text citations, give the author, work, line number(s), page number(s).

- Don't forget to turn in the draft copy with my or the Writing lab tutor's comments on it for it to count towards your revised paper total (and don't forget to make the revisions!)
- print this out and bring this to your writing lab conference and have the tutor sign here: _______________________
Write on one of the following topics:
- "Liminality:" Examine Hymn 7: To Dionysos, pp 410–411, and Catullus' "Attis", pp 421–423, with regard to the Turner's ideas (see pp 411–413). In your introduction summarize Turner's ideas briefly but accurately.
- Human/Divine Interactions: At one point in the Bacchae Dionysus (while in disguise) says "Dionysus ... is by turns a most terrifying and a most gentle god to mortals" (208–210, 406). Examine, and then demonstrate, whether this is true in the passage from the Bacchae on pages 401–410.
