Letter To Calvin And Hobbes Series
Hi, I don’t want to exhaust you with things about me because well… everybody skips that part. But I assure you, this the very exact reason why I’m writing this letter. As a kid, I never liked reading. Fiction, or nonfiction—I never could visualize a picture in my head. People tell me to read more to improve this mindset; that’s sort of a paradox for me, how can a kid improve imagination by reading a book where he can’t picture anything? I guess I understanded a few books, but it’s minute compared to other people. I kept on reading books I didn’t enjoy and consequently, it hindered with my reading skills even more. But anyways, enough boring things about me so I want to just I guess-- thank you, for your Calvin and Hobbes series. I enjoyed

    Letter to Author of Jasper Jones

    I am writing to you because I thought it was important to tell you, I really enjoyed your novel, Jasper Jones, and I fancy your writing style. I am not much of a reader and usually when I have to read a book for school, I dread it, but this time was different. Your book was such an easy read and for the first time, I looked forward to sitting down, getting cozy, and reading. The slang that you used enhanced the book and made the story have a realistic feel. I felt as if some of these events could occur in my life. By the time I reached the end of the book, I was extremely intrigued and couldn’t put Jasper Jones down; I had to know what would happen next.…

    Thomas Hobbes: A Basis For Politics

    Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher of the 1600’s that tried to create a basis for politics. Having experienced the English civil war, Hobbes realized that the conflict was the result of human nature. Hobbes exclaimed that the world was full of greedy people and those who are selfless and care only for themselves. Without the government to maintain order, Hobbes said that there would be “a condition of war of everyone against everyone”. Hobbes noted that in order to stop this, the people would have to sacrifice their freedom for the government. In exchange, they gained law and order. He also notes that this sacrifice would allow the government to suppress any form of rebellion. Hobbes called this agreement the social contract.…

    Personal Narrative: Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry

    While most kids had the enjoyment of having their parents read to them at night, close to their parents and slowly drifting off to sleep, I never had that experience. My parents didn’t teach me to speak English, let alone read it to me. So, while I was growing up it was a struggle for me to have the thrill of traveling in a magical school bus, saying Goodnight to the moon or even ignoring the man with the yellow hat. I wasn’t so deep into books, I never knew they could take you out of reality and let you escape your mind while you go on an adventure.…

    Thomas Hobbes Lord Of The Flies Analysis

    A plane full of adolescent boys crashes on a stranded island, leaving them alone and trapped, are they prone to civilization, or will their age cause disputes and show the true meaning of learning life through experience? Through the boys’ peril, their inhumanity to each other is caused from their want for power, their victimization, and their need to survive on a pig-inhabited island. Thomas Hobbes, an avid supporter of human rights, is definitely a great choice among others, for an appearance in the end of Lord of the Flies. Because of his beliefs, he could have potentially changed the outcome for some of the boys though words of wisdom. In life, people learn and grow during experiences with others, and change is something that happens because of actions and…

    Exegesis of Thomas Hobbes

    Thomas Hobbes was an Englishman who wrote the Leviathan during the English Civil War in the 17th century. Naturally Hobbes spends chapter five, and most of the Leviathan describing how to avoid internal conflict. Hobbes argues that by using logical reasoning and eliminating disagreement a state can avoid internal conflict. Hobbes begins chapter five with a definition for reason and the operations that are involved. Hobbes continues his explanation of reason by describing the proper use of reasoning and how absurdity arises. He elaborates on errors and absurdities, explicitly their causes. Hobbes ends chapter five with his description of the connection between reason and science.…

    Hobbes State Of Nature Essay

    That men are sinister in the State of Nature could be promoted as a headline to Hobbes’s magnum opus, Leviathan. In the state of nature, men are not magnanimous beings. A notion similar to the first sin, yet different from a philosopher like Jean Jacque Rousseau. It has always been taken for granted that there are wicked and virtuous humans, yet for Hobbes, humans are innately wicked. These notions, however abstract and contradictory they may seem, are demonstrated in this short paper; Hobbes’s chapter 13 of Leviathan is abridged in this paper. First, the inclinations that drive men to behave in a wicked way are outlined step by step. Then Hobbes’s reason for having a common power is established. Generally, this paper is a reflection on Chapter 13 of Leviathan with explanation and commentary.…

    Hobbes and Butler on Human Nature

    Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) and Joseph Butler (1692-1752) hold contrasting views on how to build a human society. For Hobbes the most important issue is to achieve and maintain peace, and points out, that men ought to give up their natural rights and transfer them to a sovereign. For Butler the best way is to follow the rules of God which are already inside of every man’s soul. The two both start with an account of human nature: Hobbes notes that it is lead by appetites and aversions and results in selfish individuals; Butler argues that man is born to virtue, so that every human being is naturally benevolent and has an inborn motivation to love and help others. In the pages that follow I shall refer to different arguments by Hobbes and Butler to understand each other’s conceptions on human society.…

    Thomas Hobbes: Nature and Origins of Human Thought, Emotion, and Society

    The philosophies of Thomas Hobbes are inarguably essential foundations in materialistic thought. Idealists during his time believed that there reality is made up of concepts and nonmatter. In response to the challenge of explaining concepts that seemed only explicable through idealist thinking (such as thoughts and emotions), Hobbes used logic and reasoning to develop materialist theories – some impressively similar in nature to neurobiology. His pessimistic views of society are drawn from events in his personal life, primarily the English Civil War. During this time, the horrid events he witnessed caused him to develop a lack of faith in the nature of man. The concepts he created, as shown in Elements of Law and Leviathan due to the also relevant and applicable to current political examples. During the Age of Enlightenment, Hobbes took an early stand against Divine Law and monarchy, and developed social contract theory. He firmly believed that the state of nature and man is naturally chaotic1, and therefore a strong governmental system must be put in place to control society and keep man under control.2…

    Research Paper On Thomas Hobbes

    The world we live in today stands by the thought, that if we did not have certain rules in our system, everyone would always be at war and destructions, catastrophes and vandalism would be constantly occurring. Thomas Hobbes was an important philosopher, who lived from 1588-1679, and proposed many important and thoughtful propositions, to make sure and pint out our mistakes. As we look around today, we see the corrupt world we live in, and the characteristics of people, that take us forward in life. People's selfishness has come to the point today, where we could do anything to better our position and the position of our country, in the case of the governments. Our main drive is to succeed in our l8ives, even if it means to crush others around…

    Huckleberry Finn In The Classroom

    Kean’s rationale for the use of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in the classroom rests in the historical aspects it illuminates about America, Mark Twain’s reputation, the novel’s relatability to youth, and the use of literary techniques. Kean believes that the novel is a central document for understanding American heritage. The novel, Kean claims, draws a picture of middle American the pre-civil war period. Kean believes that the stance of censorship only arises because the issues brought up are so painfully not resolved. He insists that readers are to sensitive and it causes them to misread, what he believes to be, a clear indictment of the old south as an approbation of the morality. Kean argues against the novels censorship saying it has…
