Inferno and Seven

Inferno and Seven

Choose any one of the following prompts, or feel free to create your own prompt.:
1. If you watched the movie, how do you suppose Seven is related to The Inferno by Dante. Include any parallels in relation to sin, theme, character biblical allusions and/or any reactions you have to the film and poem. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts, so if you venture off topic, feel free to do so.
2. Write your reactions to the film
3. Define "sin" what do you suppose the word means?
4. Hell and Sin. Is there a hierarchy of sin? What is the very worst sin an individual can commit? 
5. Is there such thing as a place called Hell? If so, what does it look like? If not, why not? Why do some people believe in Hell and others do not?

Beowulf

1. Reflect on the movie Beowulf vs. the Epic of Beowulf. If no particular thoughts come to mind, answer my questions. Did you prefer one over the other? What do you think was the message in each version? Why do you think so many changes were made in the movie?

2. Read through other people's posts and respond to at least one other person's comments.
