Need a good essay question for an essay on the age of enlightenment in the Balkans. With reference to the works of Dositej Obradovic and Matija Antun Reljkovic. It's only a practice essay so it can be pretty shit, but it's due tomorrow so I need one sharpish.

My only ideas as of now are

Referring to contemporary texts of the period, to what extent did the Enlightenment take place in the Balkans?
Find examples in Reljkovic's and Obradovic's work which conform to the direct principles of the enlightenment.
Were the Balkans ready to utilise contemporary Western ideologies during the age of enlightenment?

Which sounds best?

Using wikipedia and people who post on the same internet forum as you as primary resources, produce an essay which discusses the Age of Enlightenment in the Balkans by tomorrow.

If they haven't set you a question then surely it's free reign to write about what you'd like. I'd say the first and last titles sound the best but I don't have any idea of the subject.

I say allocate each question to an even number on a die and whatever you roll, you do that question. If you get odd then get drunk and fail in style.

I like this plan. I'm leaning toward the last question, may as well go for that.

I prefer Si Pie's plan.

Gambling on a roll of a dice is always the sensible thing to do and the possibility of drunkenness has obvious advantages.

First question covers it, but without the 'Referring to contemporary texts of the period' bit, as that should be a given.

I hate coming up with questions... my dissertation being the hardest. I need to have a confirmed title, an abstract, a chapter outline, and an indicative bibliography by the end of the week.
