Rewrite the Reluctant Fundamentalist from the perspective of a character outside the narrator’s/speaker’s/camera’s purview. Your writing should be based on the work’s depiction of that character, both what the work sees and what it fails to. Here are a few questions you should address as you write your answer:

1) How does the work in question depict the character you’ve chosen? Do you trust the work’s understanding of that character? Or has the work—intentionally or not—missed something crucial about them (perhaps with respect to their motivations and their desires, or their interior life generally)?

Mary had a difficult time in her health care training and barely managed to graduate. She decided to try goal setting when she got hired in her first new job. She made only one goal, and it was as follows: “I want to be the department director within a year.” After her first year, Mary was not the department director and was very frustrated with her position and felt that goal setting was a bunch of “hogwash” and really doesn’t work.

The rejection of the parallel line axiom raised doubts about our basic sense of reason. If parallel lines can meet, then what’s left? The Evil Demon Argument raised doubts about tradition, authority and religion; the Dream Argument questioned human experience and science; the rejection of the parallel line axiom raised doubts about reason itself. Are there no certainties? We live in an era (at least in the Western world) where nothing is sacred.

1.In the second Meditation, (Kleiman and Lewis, p. 33) Descartes responded to the doubts raised previously — his famous remark that “I think, therefore I am.” Of course, we might say. Isn’t that obvious? So why is Descartes’ remark so profound? (Or is it?)

2.In the third Meditation, Descartes developed the first of two arguments for God’s existence, this one called the Cosmological Proof, claiming there is no other way to explain his having the idea of God than that God Himself gave it to him. (See page 42, in Kleiman and Lewis.) Could we human beings have invented the idea of God? Why did Descartes think otherwise?
