 * Due date: May 5 **

Please type your essay in **Times New Roman, font size 12, with 1.5 space between the line**s. Expected length is **four** pages. Essays exceeding six pages will not be graded.

Suggested Texts: Since //Utopia// was originally composed in Latin, you may choose to read a Turkish translation of the text (available in all major bookstores in Ankara for quite a reasonable price). However, as you are required to write your essay in English, it will be much more helpful to read it in English. METU library has several good editions; you can especially check the one in Norton Anthology Volume I. Also, e-texts are available at:

· [] If you use this link, please note that Book II is divided into several chapters, so all the chapter titles under Book II are actually part of it.

· [] The Project Gutenberg edition does not have book divisions, so if you prefer this one, you should start reading from the part that begins with the physical description of Utopia (“The island of Utopia is in the middle two hundred miles broad…”).
