'The eternal could is never contented; it ever seeks exaltation.'
"Kahlil Gibran said this in his Thoughts and Meditations. I partially agree and disagree with his words. When he speaks about the eternal soul, he is talking about our subconscious, our true desire. Our eternal soul looks beyond expectations and decorum. But I believe that he is also talking about our present state of mind. He should not only speak of our eternal soul, but also our current desire. I strongly believe that there is little difference in our sould and body, aside from exultation."
This is a strong argument in its analysis of Gibran's exact words. The providing of a different way to say what Gibran did is something I have never seen before in an argument and it definitely adds to it. A little bit more content could have been added although what is there is still quite good.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, a fairly strong paper. I agree with Kyle in that this paper was brief and probably should have been expounded upon. I can relate to what Joe is saying with the connection to the true desire, and that section was your strongest. Integrating "decorum" into that sentence seemed awkward, I would suggest seeking another word. Also, expand upon that last sentence; there might be more to it. Solid passage.
ReplyDeleteWSh and KR, understand that this is not my entire paper, and there is more. and thanks will, i reread that sentence, and decorum seems forced and not fitting. Kyle, i really liked what you said about how mine differed. Thanks guys, i appreciate your input.
DeleteJoe is getting very deep in his interpretation of the stories in this packet, he is spot on in my opinion and this makes me feel really passionate about his purpose. I also agree how the interpretation can be agreed or disagreed.
