Considering the following questions as a preliminary outline of your paper. Write the full essay itself in a unified, coherent way — not as a list of answers to questions. (Never submit a college essay as a ‘list of responses to questions! Each essay should be a coherent composition ‘on its own’.)
Along with remarks based on those questions — that’s our scholarly exercise — please add a coda about the value of friendship in developing virtue, in Aristotle’s sense, and in the foundations of the community or city. That’s really a most interesting issue. A good paragraph or two will do for those remarks.
