Blog #7: Compare and Contrast
My purpose would be to show how even though both are run by the same officials, the extreme differences in wealth show a hypocrisy of the church.
Sample thesis: Although both churches are run by the same officials, the extreme differences in wealth between the churches reveal a hypocritical juxtaposition between the church's claims of helping the poor and what kind of churches it builds for the poor.
Key points:1) Difference in wealth 2) Difference of location of churches
Organization: Subject by subject
Blog #6: Working Definitions
For this blog I shall define the word genius through definition by negation, definition by history, definition by example, and definition by compare and contrast.
To begin we can define the word genius through definition by history. Its original meaning was a guiding spirit. It could also be applied to a talent in a specific field. In modern times, the word means high intellectual ability and is currently undergoing a change back to its original meaning of talent in a specific field. For example, "He's a genius at remodeling!" To define by example I can use the most famous genius in modern times who is Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein was a genius in both definitions because he had a high intellect and he also led a revolution and positively influenced his field. For definition by negation we can use the average person in a society. The person that contributes nothing novel and only contributes his/her ability as work. Also to define the word genius we can define by history. Finally for definition by compare and contrast I can compare a genius to a savant. The difference is that while both the savant and the genius\ have a high capacity for memorization, the savant can merely repeat the information while the genius understands the information's significance and can make interesting and novel connections.

I was born October 15, 1844 under the name Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche to Karl Ludwig Nietzsche and Franziska Nietzsche. In 1849 my father died of a brain tumor at age 36. Later in 1864 I wrote Uber Stimmungen. Later that year I graduated from Pforta and enrolled as a student of theology and philology at the University of Bonn. At the start of the second semester in the year 1865, I changed my major to philology. After this I was forced to begin my year of military service in 1867. While there I was promoted to lance corporal but unfortunately had an accident while riding my horse. I then left the service and was appointed professor of classical philology at the University of Basel in 1869. That same year I began writing The Birth of Tragedy. After that I served as a volunteer medical orderly in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. Then from 1876 through 1878 I wrote the first part of my soon to be famous work Human, All Too Human. That same year I sent a manuscript of Human, All Too Human to my publisher who then published it. The next year The Wanderer and His Shadow was published. Soon after in 1881 Dawn was published upon me leaving Genoa. That winter of 1881 I began writing The Joyful Science which I later finished in 1882. The next year, 1883, I began writing Thus Spoke Zarathustra in Rapallo. I wrote Part 2 of Thus Spoke Zarathustra in Sils-Maria. Then I completed Thus Spoke Zarathustra, part three in 1884. Finally, I completed Thus Spoke Zarathustra Part IV and published it in 1885. In 1886 I published another one of my great works, Beyond Good and Evil. After that in 1888 I wrote The Case of Wagner, Dionysus Dithyrambs, Twilight of the Idols, The antichrist, Ecce Homo and Nietzsche contra Wagner: Out of the Files of a Psychologist. Unfortunately, this was the last time I would write for I slid into insanity in 1889 and died in 1900.
