    Tom Robinson's Ethos Argument

    When Atticus makes the statement that Tom Robinson has served time, he is making an ethos argument on behalf of Tom. He is proving Tom has nothing to hide, and he tells the truth. When Atticus makes the closing statement where he speaks to the fact that there is no evidence that Tom could have committed the crime he was accused of besides two eyewitnesses with highly improbable testimonies, he makes a logos argument. He is stating the facts and trying to shed light on the truth, which was only spoken by Tom. When Atticus argues against the common opinion that Tom, because he is black, does not have the capacity to feel sorry for someone, simply because of his race, and makes a pathos argument. It is a pathos argument because he is propelling…

    Chris Mccandless A Transcendentalist

    First off, Chris McCandless is a celebrity in the transcendentalist community because of his search for the meaning of life independently. Jon Krakauer respects McCandless because no one prompted him to go out into the Alaskan wilderness, since most people need a push to do something. However some people believe McCandless is a fool and should be forgotten about and that he was spoiled rotten and was just wanting attention. The truth that most people do not know is, McCandless’s parents used to fight and the mom would call out for the kids to come see what the dad was doing to her. McCandless was a strong character and had gone through a lot. McCandless looked up to all of the major transcendentalists including his favorite Henry…

    Harry Thurston’s “Miracle” Extended Metaphor

    Harry Thurston’s “Miracle” Extended Metaphor

    Harry Thurston’s “Miracle” is a simple and sweet poem, which displays the usage of an extended metaphor. As the speaker is in the process of explaining to his daughter as to why she should not pick the blossom and allow it to grow, he soon regrets telling her to stop. If Thurston meant to metaphorically convey this poem as the growth of his daughter, we can safely assume that the blossom mentioned in the second line of the poem that will “turn into a strawberry” (4), represents his daughter as a toddler who will soon grow up into a beautiful young lady. From “no sooner are the words out than I regret forestalling her pleasure” (7-8), we can also assume that he regretted holding her back from her own curiosities and discoveries, his fatherly instincts to nurture and care for his daughter while she is still young could be the cause of this; it would have been his way of protecting her. It also suggests that he came to the realization that he needed to allow her to experience everything on her own and let her grow. “For what is one blossom less, and weeks to a child too long to wait” (9-10), suggests that there would have been no harm done if she were to pick a single blossom but her childhood would have been in a way harmed from not being able to satisfy her curiosity and learning from her own experiences. He realizes that as a parent, he doesn’t need to protect or teach her everything because she will eventually learn on her own. I feel as if this poem is a reminder to us that life is in a sense a “miracle” (15). It is hard to believe that something so small such as a blossom can grow into something so different such as a sweet strawberry or a toddler growing up into something new such as an adult until we see it…

    John Locke And David Hume: The Definition Of Miracle

    If you had to define the word miracle how would you define it, do you even believe miracles to be true? I know that myself surely believes in them. This whole world is too amazing not to believe.

    Miracles Revision Notes

    Definitions of miracles are often very broad and leave them particularly wide to interpretation. We may say that it is a miracle that someone has recovered from a cold, but that is only the believer’s interpretation and cannot be verified as miraculous. It simply reflects the way that the believer looks at the world, and that he or she sees a religious significance in the event even if another may see it as a co-incidence. For example – 6-year-old Teesside girl fell 150ft off of the edge of a cliff in North Yorkshire and only received minor injuries, was this a miracle?…

    Miracles - Philosophy

    The problem with miracles is that it cannot be properly defined which means there is no absolute meaning for a meaning, instead my philosophers have attempted to define miracles in their own way. In these definition they are usually for or against the existence of miracles, for example take two contrasting definitions Ward and Hume. Ward says miracles are events which god intervenes because he only knows the consequences of the action. On the other hand, Hume is a philosopher who is totally against the idea of miracles, he says miracles do not exist because they violate the laws of nature. Knowing this, god cannot intervene because he would violate the laws of nature, humans have faith in experience and trust the laws this would be lost if miracles were deemed true.…
