apart from reading and writing‚ is how to add and subtract. But‚ is math a part of nature‚ or was it made to measure or understand nature? It is really hard to know‚ but in my point of view‚ math is a method created by men to measure nature. If math was a part of nature‚ man would be born with math knowledge‚ but man is not‚ man had to think about a way to count and measure things. And if it was a part of nature‚ man would learn it just by existing‚ but man has to go to classes or special curses

Albert Camus’ The Stranger is about Meursault‚ an acutely detached‚ unaffected man‚ who kills an Arab‚ then is tried and convicted and sentenced to death. The novel focuses on the absurdity of life‚ which rises in the duality of one’s desire to find the point of existence‚ and their inability to do so. The absurd envelops all things‚ and Camus is devout in the return of an affectionate embrace‚ for he is convinced that only when one is entirely free of hope‚ can they live. As living things that will

The play “Faust” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe contains a number of aspects that institute a sense of duality is respect to what is good‚ and what is evil. With that in mind‚ the character Faust is frequently criticized as to whether his true nature is that of a hero‚ or that of a villain. However‚ over the course of his journey‚ it appears that he has the qualities of each. Faust’s dissatisfaction with life—and his skeptical view on the concept of God—bring into question whether he is a man of morality

Each symbol can mean something about human nature‚ human relationships‚ morality‚ and even about our society. Each symbol can have a different meaning to all of us. The symbols that came up frequently and that stood out to me as I read were staircase‚ Pegasus‚ smoke serpents‚ and fire. The first symbol that stood out to me
