In my opinion I do not think that we can know anything purely through emotion because emotions are “reactions or responses related to sense perceptions‚ internal states‚ thoughts or beliefs about things or people‚ real or imagined.” (Emotion as a WOK‚ Mondelli) Also emotions without the other three areas of knowledge emotions would have no way of expression because to be able to recognize what you feel you have to have logic and reason. To be able to feel your emotions you have to have your sense

Ashton J. Kiser English 1020 February 28‚ 2011 Diving into a Wreck In this poem‚ the author‚ Adrienne Rich‚ gives metaphorically details on an interesting‚ underwater adventure. The poem “Diving into a Wreck‚” is like reading a documentary on a person exploring into the ocean on search for a sunken ship‚ except Adrienne puts a personal meaning into every part of the poem. The wreck and the ocean give Rich a chance to talk about all kinds of other subjects. The title‚ "Diving into the Wreck‚" lays

Since she is a well known feminist‚ her essay is directed primarily towards women‚ but I feel that any
