Note that the following is a creative assignment.  I want you to have fun with it.  Feel free to adopt the tone and voice of the period, but follow basic rules of grammar.  Be succinct and clear.

Utopias are by nature subversive.  They are pictures of an ideal world that naturally point out the failings in our own flawed societies.   Imagine yourself to be a royal censor in sixteenth century England, a representative of the regime of King Henry VIII.  You have just been given a copy of this very controversial text.   What aspect of life in More’s Utopian society do you think would be most objectionable and potentially subversive in the eyes of a royal censor?  Adapt the voice of the censor, and in a 2 page letter to More (double-spaced), highlight this aspect of his imaginary society that you find so problematic.  List the reasons why it would be potentially subversive, and suggest a way how More could modify his ideal world to make it acceptable to excitable King Henry VIII, who might if he just gets angry enough decide to chop off his friend’s head.
