MP3 Rough Draft   3 comments

I feel much better about the draft than I felt about my outline, because I feel like I have better grasp on the prompt now. My only concern is that for all three examples, I feel like I am phrasing the analysis the same way.MP3

Lyman MP2   3 comments

LYMANMP2       I chose the first prompt, about who should lead, how they should lead, and why they should lead.

Neither thin nor thick, but both   5 comments

While I believe Emma Goldman regards herself and her ideal society as “thin-selved,” I think that Goldman cares for neither the thick or thin self and rather believes in both (and neither at the same time). She says that “evil can be brought about only through the consideration of every phase of life — individual, as […]

Socrates through Vocabulary   4 comments

Despite being a highly controversial individual who caused many of his fellow citizens acrimony and irritation, Socrates was undisputedly a very intelligent man. After studying him in depth this past week, I have come to a personal conclusion that he was so intelligent that he carefully planned everything he did to the finest details- including the […]
