    Makropulos Case: Reflections On The Tedium Of Immortality '

    In “The Makropulos Case: Reflections on the Tedium of Immortality”, Bernard Williams argues that immortality is undesirable because one would achieve one’s categorical desires which will cause one to become bored and find immortality undesirable. In this paper, I will argue that this argument fails because if one lives a recognizably human life, they will experience memory decay thus allowing them to repeat the same categorical desires without becoming bored. In addition, if one must experience immortality in a recognizably human form then they and everything and everyone else around them will be, therefore giving the one with an eternal life a constant task of trying to perfect everything and everyone (mortals).…

    Conflict in the Story in the Film Tuck Everlasting

    I think that the Tuck story had one main conflict. It is an external struggle between the tucks and the Man in the Yellow Suit. This is an external conflict because it is a physical struggle between characters. The Tucks and the stranger have different views on the spring. The Tucks think that it should be kept a secret and that people shouldn’t live forever Tuck even says that “life is like a wheel and we Tucks are like stones, never moving or changing”. The stranger thinks that people should live forever. He further angers the Tucks by wanting to use Winnie to advertise the spring he said “I won’t let just anyone drink this water just rich and important people”.…

    Aspe Genius: Documentary Analysis

    Humanity is unique in its ability to learn and to teach others. This ability is what allowed us as a people to learn and to grow together. This evolution allowed for us to next question the existing paradigms; with questioning, we can identify biases and further our understanding of the world. While these are incredibly important parts of humanity, “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” (Eden Ahbez). Love is the most important thing we can ever receive, and through it we can do many things. Humanities great wish for immortality, can be realized through love. As the closest we can get is to create something that will outlast ourselves, children. Through them a piece of the parent lives on, and through…

    Tuck Everlasting

    Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is a book for anyone who thinks living forever might be a good idea. Death is a hard thing for most people to accept. Just think about the folks who plan to have their bodies frozen after they die. They hope that one day scientists will have the technology to thaw them out and send them on their way. Who knows—maybe right about now you're thinking, "Sounds like a plan to me!" Well, one of the main ideas in Tuck Everlasting is that there is a natural cycle to life. The story suggests that maybe people shouldn't try to interfere with this cycle by doing things to avoid death. Even if you violently disagree with this idea and are bound and determined to live forever, Tuck Everlasting is an interesting and entertaining book worth reading.…

    Beowulf's View On Life And Death

    Even the greatest, most prominent and influential people to ever live are now all simply past tense. They are talked about, some are even taught about in schools; yet these people came to earth as mortals, and they left as mortals. One’s memory can live on after death due to the magnitude of one’s life on earth; but the person himself cannot live on through his works, and that is the key difference. There is but one way to achieve immortality, and it is not through earthly…

    Tuck Everlasting Excerpt

    The sky was a ragged blaze of red and pink and orange, and its double trembled on the surface of the pond like color spilled from a paintbox. The sun was dropping fast now, a soft red sliding egg yolk, and already to the east there was a darkening to purple. Winnie, newly brave with her thoughts of being rescued, climbed boldly into the rowboat.…

    Censorship in 1984

    The oldest man currently still living today is Emiliano Mercado Del Toro who is 113 years old (Guinness 2). Emiliano said he has seen many things in his lifetime, but still feels as if he has not "seen it all" (Guinness 2). If Emiliano has lived 113 years on the earth and feels that he has not done it all then how can the average American living only into his or her 70s live a full life? Most Americans lives are spent at work, the average American works eight hours a day six days a week, which totals to be 2,496 hours a year. With Americans spending so much time behind their desks how can they be seeing the world, having fun with life, and exploring new and exciting things. The answer to this question is… that they are not, Americans seem too happy with their meek existence. Then while they are on their death bed say to their family "Where has the time gone?" A Lifetime is defined as "the time that the life of someone or something continues" (Dictionary.com 1). When you read the definition it sounds rather boring, and yet is so fitting because so many lives are spent just being bored. Lives are wasted in front of televisions, behind desks, and waiting in line at the McDonalds down the corner. I think that Lifetimes are misunderstood as being the time that includes your birth, your job, and then your death. I think that a life should be spent wisely on things like enjoying the little things and traveling.…

    Why Is Childhood so Important

    “Our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.” We know nothing of what happened before our birth, and we certainly know nothing of what will happen after we die. Movies, slide shows, and accounts of what life was like in other times are all fascinating to contemplate, but we cannot ever truly know what it is like to exist outside of our lifespan. The only period of time over which we have any influence is our own, and that is why life should be enjoyed as heartily as possible.…

    Borges' view on eternity and death

    The word forever is tossed around a lot nowadays. I hear it constantly from couples and friends and family that they will love you “forever”, which no one really thinks much of. Do they mean until death? Or do they mean above and beyond death? And then if someone can love you forever, then the opposite must be true and eternal hatred and suffering must exist in similar forms of either until death, or beyond death. Basically it raises the question, what does it mean to be forever and what does it mean to be happy and loved forever or be suffering and hated forever? Borges delves into these topics in two of his stories titled The Immortal, and The Gospel according to Mark. In Jorge Luis Borges’ two stories The Immortal, and the Gospel according to Mark, both stories focus heavily on the subject and meaning of everlasting life and eternal suffering. Both these stories share similar outlooks on immortality, humanity’s everlasting pursuit after it, and their willingness to do anything to achieve it, but though both stories agree on immortality and humanity’s pursuit after it, they are complete opposites on the subject of eternal suffering, because The Immortal shows that eternal suffering exists and we unknowingly experience it every day, whereas the Gospel according to Mark sees eternal suffering as something we know exists and we are constantly trying to avoid it.…
