Extra Credit 2 (20 points max)
Choose ONE (1) of the following:
A) The Contraries - Yin and Yang, black and white, fire and water, male and female. These are all dual objects, all of which are contrary to each other. Without using anything already mentioned in the lesson, list 10 more contraries. They don't have to be alchemy-related, but you should be able to justify why you think your list is a list of contraries!
B) Two and Five - There are a couple of different depictions regarding the Contraries and the Elements. Illustrate your own depiction of either the Contraries or the Five Elements.
C) The Search for Immortality - There are many stories, legends, even folklore about people trying to defy death. Find another example of a person fighting against death and looking for some way to transcend to immortality. Tell me the story in your own words! Minimum 200 words.
Please upload all graphics to a separate account such as Photobucket or Imageshack as I will not be opening attachments!

Alchemical Symbols 2 (4 points max)
You're wondering why the extra credit is only worth 20 points. Well. This is why. At the end of every assignment, I will have three different alchemy symbols below with a general category next to it. Using the categories and the pictures, identify each symbol and include these answers in your Extra Credit email.
Each identification is worth 2 points, with a max 4 points. However, if you identify all three, I will count the extra 2 points as bonus for lost points, etc.
Note: The symbols are symbols of alchemy, and may have come from as ancient as the Chinese and Egyptian influences to the Newtonian symbols. They can be planets, metals, elements or even alchemical processes.
