Mary Oliver’s poem
analyze Mary Oliver’s poem “Some Questions You Might Ask.” In your response, discuss the poem’s meaning as you describe the similarities of Oliver’s “questions” to the principles found in our chapter on Eastern & Western Religion. In your analysis,be sure to analyze both Eastern and Western concepts as you feel they apply to the Oliver poem
Is the soul solid, like iron?
Or is it tender and breakable, like
the wings of a moth in the beak of the owl?
Who has it, and who doesn’t?
I keep looking around me.
The face of the moose is as sad
as the face of Jesus.
The swan opens her white wings slowly.
In the fall, the black bear carries leaves into the darkness.
One question leads to another.
Does it have a shape? Like an iceberg?
Like the eye of a hummingbird?
Does it have one lung, like the snake and the scallop?
Why should I have it, and not the anteater
who loves her children?
Why should I have it, and not the camel?
Come to think of it, what about the maple trees?
What about the blue iris?
What about all the little stones, sitting alone in the moonlight?
What about roses, and lemons, and their shining leaves?
What about the grass?

EYE & LIGHT


The blind spot is the area on the retina without photoreceptors. Therefore, the part of an image that falls on this region will NOT be seen. It is in this region that the optic nerve exits the eye on its way to the brain. Humans may use different parts of their brain to discriminate objects from people. In particular, we may have specialized neurons for recognizing faces.
Define the problem of final integration of visual information. What kind of problem(s) does this present regarding our understanding of how the brain works? Is it a problem that needs to be solved? Do any recent papers in the scientific literature address this issue?  CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

Kate immediately mentions that she is in need of a good accountant to check over the financial position of the two beans café that she was interested in purchasing. Malcolm then said:
“I buy my coffee there every morning on the way to work. Their beverages and the quality of their food are excellent. The place is always busy so they must be making loads of money. I do not think you will have any problems purchasing that business.”

Assignment: In order to become more familiar with different types of argumentation, it will be helpful to apply our reading to some real world examples. For this first assignment, select five of the logical fallacies discussed in Chapter 3 of Weird Things. The fallacies are listed below and also detailed in Chapter 3. Then, for each logical fallacy you must find two examples of where it has been applied. You can gather your examples from any type of sources (videos, advertisements, etc.), but make sure you provide a way for the class to view it or locate it (screenshot, link, etc.). Please post your examples on the “Paper 1 Examples” Discussion Board. When you post your examples, be sure to indicate which logical fallacy you think the example is demonstrating. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
Initial Research: Sometimes it will take a keen eye to spot these fallacies, but for others it will be quite obvious when you see them. You may run across an example unintentionally! When you think you notice an example of a fallacy, jot down where you found it and what struck you as illogical.
Summary Details: In each fallacy summary, you must include a description of the summary you are using in your own words. Do not copy the definition from the book. Then, explain how your example utilizes the fallacy. Be sure you identify the specific moment where your sample used a logical fallacy and veered off track. Finally, suggest one way you could make the example more logical.
