Read the excerpt below and respond to the prompt. The first thing to be said about St. Thomas as an anthropologist, is that he i

s really remarkably like the best sort of modern biological anthropologist. ... He adopts almost literally the Huxleyan definition of the Agnostic method; "To follow reason as far as it will go"; the only question is-where does it go? He lays down the almost startlingly modern or materialist statement; "Every thing that is in the intellect has been in the senses. ... The Schoolmen may have shot too far beyond our limits in pursuing the Cherubim and Seraphim. But in asking whether a man can choose or whether a man will die, they were asking ordinary questions in natural history; like whether a cat can scratch or whether a dog can smell. Nothing calling itself a complete Science of Man can shirk them. ("The Permanent Philosophy"; pp. 1-2) Explain why G. K. Chesterton claims, "St. Thomas Aquinas, perhaps more than he is anything else, is a great anthropologist." Your explanation should be at least 150 words.

Answer:

Chesterton explains how Thomas Aquinas was way ahead of his time in understanding what it means to be human and had a developed a great sense for ontology. He would argue that there are many of his own contemporaries that think and develop their ideas just like Aquinas did. You can use this as a starting point and develop your essay.

Drag and drop each example of figurative language into the correct category.
pychu [463]

The correct answers are

Metaphor: She's an encyclopedia; We're just old news; I'm spreading my wings.

Simile: It's hard as steel; He's crafty like a fox; I'm strong like a bull

Explanation:

Both Simile and Metaphor are rhetorical figures used to describe a person, animal, object, etc. by making a comparison. The key difference between these two figures is that in SImile explicit comparison words such as "like" or "as" are used, while in metaphor the comparison occurs directly. This means, in the sentences "It's hard as steel", "He's crafty like a fox" and " I'm strong like a bull" there is simile due to the use of like and as, while in the rest of the options there is a metaphor because comparison occurs directly.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Being an American gives us freedom. Living where you want to, working somewhere of your choice, being around people you want in your life. It doesn't matter what ethnicity you are, it matters the way your country developed its rights. Being brave and being proud of everything this country has accomplished. Being American, its not a privilege, its an honor and we as a community need to embrace that fact.
