Where as all the nosey neighbors quickly interfere with phone calls and tea parties, Edward soon becomes a walking celebrity as he dazzles them with his talent on making there gardens, dogs and selves stunning with his hands, his scissorhands. Fame doesn’t change Edward as a person. He remains his self-conscious, loving self and through the blur of change he falls in love with Mrs. Bogg’s beautiful and delicate daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder). ‘Edward Scissorhands’ may have a tale of the original ‘Frankenstein’ but in my mind it has a twist of ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Unfortunately, not everything can go well for to long, Kim’s threatened boyfriend, Jim (Anthony Michael Hall) causes trouble for Edward and a gossiping neighbor goes to far and rumors fly through the roof.

As we see in this segment of Document 6 “Reason is in the estimation of the philosopher what grace is to the Christian. Grace determines the Christian's action; reason the philosopher's.” the philosophers of the Enlightenment strove to explain everything by means of logic and reason which was a mindset that was pioneered during the Scientific Revolution. Essentially, Enlightenment thinkers took the rational mindset from scientific discoveries of the Scientific Revolution and began to apply it to society. Isaac Newton's discoveries established the principles of the Enlightenment. At the time, discovery was looked at with skepticism as people had become accustomed to the bible being the only source of information about the world.

He tells him that the train he was on stopped short of the border, and they told were that the Americans would be in the next town and they would take them.

They are met there by Americans who let them stay and clean for them. Art’s father then gives him a box full of pictures of his family before the
He means that if the venture needs you to be anyone else but yourself, it will lead to no good. This reveals to me that Thoreau believes strongly in the individual, being yourself, and seeking your own path. This quote is also applicable to modern life because many ventures nowadays require you to conform for some purpose. The second aphorism I remembered is “Our life is frittered away by detail...Simplicity, simplicity.” Thoreau means that our focus and attention to detail now in society and culture do nothing but to waste our lives away needlessly. He believes simplicity is the better choice.

Gatsby was recently back from Europe, and had nothing but the clothes on his back when he met a man named Mr. Wolfshiem who offered him lunch and a career selling bonds. This was the beginning of Gatsby’s climb to his high social status from the slums of New York, a very dramatic shift, and to being on par with Daisy, the woman he loves. Janie’s social change was attributed to Jody dying and Janie being left a widow. At this time she was wealthy, but alone, then one day she met a young man named Vergible Woods, though he goes by Tea Cake throughout the story, who was shopping in her store and they fell in love. Their relationship was looked down upon by many townsfolk, and so to get away from their scrutinizing eyes, they ran away to a new town to get married.
The second step he proves the PUP with is: from “happiness is a good for each” to “happiness is good for the aggregate”. Mills third step is he believes from “happiness is good”, we can assume “happiness is the only good. I will explain and argue that although the objection to the first step outweighs its reply, Mills’ replies to steps two and three are strong enough to defeat their objections. The objection to the first step of Mill’s PUP comes from Scottish philosopher and historian David Hume (1711-76). His objection arose from the idea that we cannot assume “ought from is” .
Their intention is all that matters. Kant focuses on what should be done, rather than doing things for their outcome. This means that even if something terrible happens as the result of a morally good action, it is still morally right. Kant had an absolute view that the right moral action must always be done. Kant tried to make moral ethics scientific through universalisation.
