Is there an enduring self? John Locke believed‚ the enduring self is defined by a person’s memory. With memory there is an enduring self‚ and without it there is no self at all. I believe there is an enduring self‚ but it is a little more complicated than that. Even if a person encounters a dramatic change to his/her life‚ they are still the same self‚ the same person. I believe memory is not the only factor that defines the self. Many things form this enduring self‚ and these things work together

However this is just to start the story as a traditional Once upon a time story‚ to give the illusion that all is good. What we don’t know that the information given in the first line creates a sense of foreboding‚ with “Given” information‚ as

Ian Terz Prof. Andy Smith 17 November 2014 Television made it much easier and less expensive to get new information. In the past‚ to get a news a person had to buy a newspaper‚ that is to spend time getting to the newspaper stand and pay some money for a newspaper. Television provides people with an ability to get news instantly‚ without getting up from the couch‚ and for free.

If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home‚ his mother might say‚ "Oh‚ he’s out in the woods‚" with a tone of airy acceptance. It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the hairdresser’s or at the gym‚ or even "away from his desk." The combination of vagueness and specificity

An obsessed mind becomes intensely absorbed in the subject of the obsession to an extent that drives away the truth and realism in their values‚ morals and perceptions. William Shakespeare manifests this idea of an involuntary change in character in the play “Othello”‚ and with a similar approach this idea is identified by Scott Spencer in the novel “Endless Love” and is
