where pip considers writing these weekly and studying off them instead:
Aristotle's Downfall
One day the famous Aristotle
had the time to stop, to dawdle,
the citizens of Greece he coddled
into his train of thought.
"We are virtuous!", he said,
"Justice will bring us ahead!
"I'll bring you books until you've read,
"The Good Life through and through".
Sadly though, there came a devil,
Thoughtful (though a speck disheveled),
in his views the people revelled,
until they believed him.
Bringing followers by the mob,
The devil was one Thomas Hobbes.
Aristotle lost his job
as the theorist.
This literally sums up all I've learned in about four classes of philosophy so far.
And this took maybe two minutes to write, not at least four hours of lecture-hallin'.
edit:
In English we had to read an essay, and write our own based on it. We read one called "10 Things the Chinese do Better than Canada" or something to that effect. My job is to write a "5 things X does better than Y", such as what university does better than high school, or something to that effect.
There were a few essays to choose from but so far this sounds like the most popular one to base our essays off, so I want to think up a really creative idea. It's supposed to be a 'fun' essay, so it's allowed to be a bit out there, nothing too serious.
IDEAS? SUGGESTIONS? RANDOM WORDS I MIGHT BASE SOMETHING OFF?
