“‘You know I detest it unless… an assembly as this… and there is not another woman in the room, whom it would not be punishment to me to stand up with’” (Austen 7).
One of the more glaring critics that are being said about Mr. Darcy is the fact that he is to proud. He is so proud that he does care about what anyone says, the only thing he does look down and them because they will compare to his social rank. His overbearing pride seems to prevent him appreciated happiness of and the beauty that is inside a human being even if it starting at it. Mr. Darcy seems to only care about indulging himself in conversation with partners that were in the same social status as he was. Subsequently, he felt this superiority over the town people and that is why he feels like he can not associate with them.
“‘ One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man[Mr. Darcy] with family fortune every thing in his favour should think highly of himself… he has the right to be proud’” (13).
Does money give one the right to think so highly of himself that he felt like he was tainting his reputation by socialize with common people. Because of his money some people in particular Miss Lucas felt that it was she was not offended by Mr. Darcy’s aloof manners.Because he was rich he had the right to act in such a way. If was contrasted to his friend, Mr. Bingley. Who is not as rich but he one Mr. Darcy best friend. One can see that social status should not restrain someone from seeing the beauty with a human being of participate in having fun with anyone around you. One then, must wonder how two people so different in personalities, become best friends. Mr. Bingley has this free spirited personality and natural happiness in him, which seems to be in direct contrast with Mr. Darcy’s personality.

The most important part of the Tao, in my opinion, is Duties to Children and Posterity. I believe that we are put on this earth to provide for the future generation. Most people seemed to forget that life goes on after they died and that their will always be a generation that will come after theirs. Like parent provide for their children, one day it will be in our hand to love and nurture our children; and raised them to become respectable men and women. Believe it or not, one day our parent relinquish most of their power and it will expect their children to take part in the natural other of things; as a doctor in a hospital, a musician on stage, a lawyer in a courtroom, or a simple beggar on the street. To my belief, if their is no one to carry on the Tao of the natural other of life; they would of been no point to the Tao and all the other teachings in the world.
The law I would add to the Tao is the law of understanding. The ability for people to express their feeling, culture, religion et cetera without being looked down upon. A lot of times we forget that all people are not made the same and some are different than other and diversity should something that should revered and celebrated. A lot of time people try to hide their who they are because they fear they might be miss understood by other.

"Contraceptive, there is a paradoxical, negative sense in which all possible future generation are the patients or subjects of a power wielded by those already alive...contraceptive simply... denied existences" (Lewis 55).
"Man's victory over Nature, we find the whole human race subjected to some individual men, and those individuals subjected... to their irrational impulses" (67).
Over the year, it seems like men wants to gain control over nature. The way, they go about this is through science. C.S Lewis is saying if what is natural gets completely eradicated by the unnatural, the world will be in disarray. First, the future generation would subjects the previous generation. The natural flow of thing will no longer exist because the naturals laws the governs men will be governed by men. Subsequently, the human population will be come subordinates to one man's desires. If the natural laws are gone the Tao will also cease to exist in people's lives. What would be left is The Abolition of Man. Without the Tao in man's life he will not know proper values and man will be left as illogical beings. Human king as it is known will no longer exist because everything will already be predetermined. Men will only be able do whatever the man wants him do. In conclusion, Lewis is saying that their are things in life that should be left a secret to men. Knowledge is not bad but with to much knowledge people start forgetting the principle of things. Then, they feel like they have exhibit the powers of a god or the God and takes control over nature.

1.) "If we are to have values at all we must accept the ultimate platitudes of Practical Reason as having absolute validity" (49).
2.) "If it [the Tao] is rejected, all value is rejected. If value is retained, it is retained. The effort to refute it and raise a new system of value in its place is self contradictory.
In this chapter C.S Lewis tries to make sense of our values and where the come from. He use morality and the idea of the Tao to make his argument. C.S Lewis brings in the Innovater he is sides with the Tao but says he is against it. The main argument for this chapter is morality versus someone's sentiments. He use a moral judments and our instinct as something that would break down Gauis and Titius' s methos of teaching. These things are factual and have some kind of basis. He talks a lot about the Tao a person values system and how we all can relate to it. He is trying to point out that we need the Tao and without our whole moral system would break down.

1.) "The man who called the cataract sublime was not intending simply to describe his own emotions about it: he was also claiming that the object was one which merited those emotions" (Lewis 15).
2.) “Aristotle says that the aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought. When the age for reflective thought comes, the pupil, who has been thus trained in ‘ordinate affections’ or ‘just sentiments’, will easily find the first principles in Ethics” (16).
Throughout this chapter C.S Lewis is criticised the way Gaius and Titius methods for education. These people are completely disregarding people’s values that they have acquired from religion, family tradition, or even culture and replaced them with what they think is right. They are making replicas of themselves and the ideology; not teaching them individuality to kids. They are teaching kids their bias view of the world. Mr. Lewis is also saying that they are using their sentiments as proof for methods of teachings, not actual facts. In the long run they become will become people without any values or people who has the same set of values as Gaius and Titius. In the end it would make a world which programed to see the world as they do.

Ethos:
1. Doctor Martin Luther King tries to establish his character for this letter by drawing similarities between him and the clergymen.
“My dearest Fellow Clergymen” (738).
There he is alluding to a bound between himself and the clergymen. The word “fellow” strengths the clause, to give him the credibility; to make the appeal to them.
2. In his letter he does not try to establish his character by what he has accomplished or his PhD, which would also qualify him to make an appeal to the clergymen.
Pathos and Logos
1. Martin Luther King in parts of his speech mixes to appeal really well to convey certain emotion and also lay a foundation for his argument.
For example the middle paragraph in page 742. In this paragraph he his telling the clergymen why he can wait any longer. First he lists many examples injustice and how it affects his children, wife, mother and himself. All through this he was able the show the frustration and the exhaustion of the black and community.
2. The thing that Martin Luther King was able to do well was to convey emotion in his speech. He was able to accomplish this through his incredible diction and his tremendous choice of syntax.
Logos:
1. Martin Luther King brings the logic for his argument from outside sources. People the clergymen would tend to respect, due to the brilliance of the teachings.
For example: Martin Buber in his relationships page 743 second paragraph. He say in Buber would consider segregation to be an I-it relationship. Where the people are treaty other peoples as object or as less then them. Martin Luther King feels like the status should be elevated to I-thou where both parties have a level of respect for each other.
Saint Augustine and the unjust laws
2. He also takes a stab at the church feeling that it has no accomplished what set out to do.
3. Also when he talk about the extremist on page 751 in a way drawing similarities between him and those famous people.
Syntax and Diction
1. Syntax:
Parallel Structure: Bottom of page 747, second paragraph of 751
Rhetorical Questions: Bottom of page 747
Periodic Sentence: Middle paragraph of 742
Juxtaposition: Top of 742
2. Diction:
Martin Luther King uses a certain aggression in his word to prove a point. We can see this in the adjective he uses to describe the word segregation.
Disease of segregation
Stinging darks of segregation
The plague of segregation
He uses his word to assert an idea by creating vivid image in the readers’ mind which also comes with some kind of emotion.

Marriage Proposal
To My Dearest Companion
My Dearest Cameron, the past few years we have been together were the most amazing years of my life. From the very moment that I met you it was like my dormant heart was suddenly awakened and started throbbing in such a way that I could hardly catch my breath. Since then, I was never able to look into another man’s eyes and feel the same way. There is not a person in the world that has the ability to make me feel the way you do and there is not a single day that I do not thank God for letting you walk into my life. I know, I have said that I do not believe in love at first sight but there was something about you that captivated me and that same thing is the reason for this address.
Ever since I was a little girl I dreamt of a flawless love that would essentially bring me happiness. Although we disagree on most basic things, you still bring me a step closer to true happiness. I know that we are going through some difficult situations now and we can not really afford to get married right this instant but I do believe that in a year or so you could make my dream come true. This may sound selfish but I can not image my future with you not being a part of it. To tell you the truth, I will not be able go on with my days if you were to reject my proposal. I know it is an unusual for me to step out my comfort zone and make this appeal but the situation we are right now I want to be able to show you I am committed to our relationship and I will always be.
Before you say anything, Cameron, I want to tell you that I love you. I know it took me a while to realize it but there is no one in this world that can make me feel so vulnerable. I have never met someone who loved me just because I was me, someone who does not judge, someone who would stand by my side through thick and thin, and someone who would love me beyond his better judgment. You are everything I dreamt of and much more. I love you so much that I can imagine my life without you. You are the reason I smile, cry, and breath. I dread the day that would bring us apart even though it is bound to happen someday but before it does I want to offer you my heart and soul. The only way I know how to do that is by having you has my husband, so please marry me.
