person really really wants to go to Harvard?

1. By now you should realize that i am going as a corpse.
2. I think it does help his point as it enables him to emphasize his point of reusing everything possible to the point where it is no longer useful to society, including our own bodies.  He convinces the reader to agree to his main point of reusing things for a better environment and then shows them a way that that can actually happen. The intent of the essay was build support for the idea of donating one's body for the advancement of science and research. He wanted to show that you can literally reuse almost anything and that this is one thing that takes very little effort on your part, as the real work begins after you are dead ( at least we hope, we do not want situations like the one in "the fall of the House of Usher").  I believe that for the most part this writing strategy was effective, he was hoping to persuade the readers to donate their bodies for the advancement of science and although he ignored counter-argument such as ethical questions. Overall he wrote a convincing piece about something he cares about, and for that he cannot be blamed.

the author of the song uses pathos with his exceptional use of exclamation points throughout the song to stir the emotions of those listening to the song to want jesus to come now. phrases like "oh wondrous birth!" and"make here thy home!'' causes the listener to be moved and cause them to be anxious for jesus's coming. "high song of triumph swell!" is an amazing use of pathos to create an atmosphere of majesty and success surrounding jesus's coming. the last verse, praising all parts of the trinity, once again appeal to emotions to causes an exultation in the singers and in the listeners again causing a longing for christ and his glorious return.

Sermon Comparison

Rev. Edwards' sermon focused mainly on the punishment for our unbelief and sins rather than on what God has done for us while Rev. Borghardt's sermon focused on the rewards that saints will receive for their faith rather than, again, on what God has done for us. Both Rev. Edwards and Rev. Borghardt missed the main point of God's grace saving us and instead concentrated on the end results. Rev. Edwards was scaring people into the faith, and Rev. Borghardt was enticing people with the rewards in  heaven that one receives as a gift from God for their belief everlasting.

P.S. Mr Brandt as of this date and time has not yet put a link for my blog on his main page, and while this is indeed a minor annoyance i have naturally worked past in order to complete my assignment, though i would not object to his taking the previous action to so simplify my life and to ease the burdening workload placed upon me.
