Due May 6, 2020 (Analogy)

The Strangler Fig and bad habits . . . who knew that there was a crazy great analogy there?  You all did a good job with your key outlines. 

Your assignment is to choose a virtue or a vice and compare it to something unexpected. 

Create your own analogy in order to creatively compare these two things. 

Use the timed essay source text (Strangler Fig) as your guide if you are having trouble getting started. Also, you might want to use it if you get stuck.

My best advice: choose a virtue or a vice and then think of something in nature that could have the same characteristics. Pick something unexpected (like the Strangler Fig).
