stories are more alike because most of their stories use story, definition, and examples. The two differences of their stories is one uses compare and contrast and they put their thesis statements in different places. Gubata places her thesis “Feminists embody the characteristics of free thought, openness to ideas, and the desire to pool resources with all the people willing to work for equality” (Gubata 595) toward the end of her essay in paragraph eight.

In Plato’s Euthyphro, multiple definitions of pious arise throughout a heated discussion among Euthyphro (a self-proclaimed authority of Greek religion) and Socrates (a wise man who questions everything told to him). Introducing my essay based on the second definition in the readings, Euthyphro states “What’s loved by the gods is pious, and what’s not loved by the gods is impious.”(Euth 7a). Considering this, my interpretation is if the gods, love your actions, then it’s considered as pious, leaving
What is Success? Success has an endless amount of definitions, but when calling someone "successful", what are they really saying? Accomplishment, achievement, benefit, progress, prosperity, victory, and triumph. These used to be the synonyms of success.

In this essay I will explain what Frankfurt means when he states that if someone loves the needy person, and helps him by giving him money; it stands as an explanation to why he helps him, but does not explain the reason why he helps him.

I also want to argue that Frankfurt contradicts his own definition of love when applying it to a needy man. Frankfurt believes

In the essay, he studies the definition of the uncanny by comparing the word’s meaning in different languages and contrasting the concept of uncanny with Jentsch’s definition. Through this essay, he challenges Jentsch’s idea by arguing that the uncanny should not just based on the concept of the living of the non-living thing but is based on a more psychological interpretation
Everyone has read at least one classic in their life, but what does that mean? The word classic can be portrayed in so many ways. It all depends on the person, what they read and are interested in. The direct definition of classic is “a work of art of recognized and established value.” Literature can be seen as words to the naked eye.
