Rene Descartes was a French philosopher‚ mathematician‚ and scientist. He was the father of the theory “I think‚ therefore I am‚” he was a rationalist and strong believer that anything can be solved by thinking.

The original story of the prodigal son is very touching but is written as all bible stories are written and that is to put anyone to sleep. However‚ Garrison Keillor’s version of the prodigal son makes the same point and is fun to read. He brought it in to a more modern day setting but the same message is sent like the original story. The story of the prodigal son is that he wanted his father to give him everything that he would inherit when the father passed on. His father agreed and he left

In Rene Descartes’ Meditations on Philosophy‚ he attempts to prove the existence of God‚ by lowering things to the most basic truths that can be known. He wishes to prove God’s existence beyond any doubt‚ so he lays out everything that cannot be proven‚ in order to get to what can be proven beyond doubt. However‚ his initial doubts end up disproving the argument he is trying to make. He rightly believes that nearly everything people experience throughout their lives can be doubted‚ but then tries

"MOTHER TO SON" OF LANGSTON HUGHES "Mother to Son" of Langston Hughes is my favorite. What the mother in the poem tries to tell her son is that there will be many rough roads that he has to go by in his life but she hopes that he will not give and complete it like his mother.

She was living a poor area with "boards torn up"
