    In his essay "The Myth of Immortality," Clarence Darrow explains his belief that life after death is a hoax and backs up his logic with logical reasoning. Darrow finds it hard to believe that life exists after death simply because there are no facts to prove that it exists. He states that "if people really believed in a beautiful, happy, glorious land waiting after death why don't they hasten themselves to it." Darrow also shows his discern in his views for the soul questioning that if we do have a soul, when is it created in the natural process of reproduction? He also questions "If a man has a soul that persists after death, that goes to a heaven of the blessed or to a hell of the damned, where are those places?" Moreover, he goes into detail and explains his reasoning against the resurrection of the body. He states the mere thought of such ideas beggars reason, ignores facts, and enthrones blind faith, wild dreams, hopeless hopes, and cowardly fears as sovereign of the human mind, despite the fact the bible clearly states that Jesus has risen from the dead and ascended into heaven. Darrow moves on into the scientific reasoning stating that people take comfort in the law that matter and force cannot be destroyed, meaning their soul lives on forever. Darrow continues and says that there is no proof that memory and consciousness exists after death. Even more, Darrow continues with his statement "We are assured that without faith, life is only desolation and despair." Or in other words, Darrow says that people "create" a place that exists after death in order to ease the natural fears. In conclusion Darrow states "we should be more kind to each other and make our lives easier for we live a common life and die a common…

    After 10,000 hours of practice a person can call themselves an expert. Hitting the 10,000 hour check point may seem impossible but with the right opportunities it becomes possible for a few lucky people. Malcolm Gladwell argues that anyone can become an expert with enough opportunities and drive. Gladwell uses examples such as The Beatles, Bill Gates, and even John D. Rockefeller to establish that being at the right place at the right time can be the difference between being a billionaire and just making ends meet. In the chapter “The 10,000-Hour Rule” by Malcolm Gladwell, the author ineffectively argues that after 10,000 hours of practice, a person is an expert at the task practiced making them successful through his use of tables and data;…
