Seafarer Essay

For the Seafarer, I pick #3.

#3 is "Two speeches – one pagan and one Christian written by two different authors." 

I believe that this book might've been written from two different authors, including one Pagan and one Christian. I can see the Christian part, because they mainly focus god, and beliefs of god. The Pagan parts are more noticeable, they talk more about truth, than about some god that they believe in. If this story was written by two different authors, I believe that the Pagan author wrote it first, because there is more noticeable parts of not caring about god, just the truth. It's obvious where the Christian author edited this story, because there is small hints to god all throughout the story, such as: "So born to greatness, so bold with his youth, Grown so brave, or so graced by God, That he feels no fear as the sails unfurl, Wondering what Fate has willed and will do."
