Here are the key points about Jean Grimshaw's view of a female ethic from the discussion:
- Grimshaw discusses feminist philosophers like Wolstonecraft, Gilligan, Noddings, and Ruddick who argue that traditional male-centered ethical theories do not fully capture women's moral reasoning and priorities.
- Gilligan argued that portrayals of women's moral reasoning as deficient are wrong, and that women tend to reason differently than men about moral issues, emphasizing care and responsibility to others.
- Noddings argues a morality based on rules and principles is inadequate and fails to capture the female approach centered on caring.
- Ruddick suggests the experience of mothering generates virtues like care,
Kant is arguing that the moral worth of an action lies not in its consequences or expected effects, but solely in the principle or motivation from which the action arises. For Kant, an action has moral worth only if it is done from duty to the moral law itself, not because of any external incentives or rewards. The good will and duty to the moral law are the sole determinants of morality, according to Kant.

The document summarizes the experiences of Major H.P.S. Ahluwalia, a member of the first successful Indian expedition to Mount Everest in 1965. When Ahluwalia reached the summit, he felt full of humility and thanked God for his physical success.

Comets originate from the icy outer regions of the solar system like the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. When gravitational forces perturb comets from their orbits, they fall toward the sun. As comets approach the sun, their icy material sublimates and forms an atmosphere around the solid nucleus and two distinct tails - an ion tail pointing directly away from the sun, and a dust tail lagging behind the comet's trajectory. The most famous comet is Halley's Comet, which returns every 76 years.
William Blake was an English poet, painter and printmaker during the Romantic Age.

This document discusses intersectionality as a feminist sociological theory coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw. Intersectionality refers to the different forms of oppression experienced simultaneously by African American women due to their gender and race. The author compares discrimination to traffic flowing in many directions, where injury can result from sexism or racism alone or both combined. While categories of gender and race are intertwined, intersectionality captures the unique experience of black women that is greater than just the sum of sexism and racism. Crenshaw argues black women have an intersectional identity shaped by being both women and black. Intersectionality encompasses structural, political, and representational dimensions.
The prompt asks students to analyze whether modern tricksters exist based on characters from assigned readings, and if so, who or what they are, when and why they appear, and their relationship to gender and ethnicity.

Alternatively, the prompt questions whether trickster tales serve some other purpose. The thesis should address these key points and present an argument in response to the prompt.

Here is a 4 line quotation integrated into a sentence in my essay:
According to leading health expert Dr. Susan Smith, making healthy choices is about more than just weight loss or appearance. As she states:
"Health is about feeling your best both physically and mentally. It's finding energy and joy in everyday activities rather than feeling drained. Making small changes like adding more vegetables or taking a walk after dinner can lead to big improvements in overall well-being."
This quotation effectively captures Dr. Smith's perspective that health is about overall wellness, not just physical appearance or numbers on a scale. Focusing on small, sustainable lifestyle changes and how they can enhance quality of life is a motivating message.

Here are some potential connections between the prisoners in Night and Shawshank Redemption:
- Both groups are stripped of their freedom and individuality. In the camps, prisoners are reduced to numbers and forced into uniformity/submission. In Shawshank, the prisoners lose control over their lives and must obey the prison system.
- Survival requires adapting to a harsh, inhumane system not of one's own making. In the camps, prisoners must find ways to endure unthinkable cruelty and deprivation. In Shawshank, inmates navigate the prison's oppressive rules and power structures.
- Hope and humanity can persist even in the darkest of places. In Night, some prisoners retain aspects of dignity and compassion

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Do you have any other insights into “passing” that you

13. Reinforcement of Social Construct
Passing scholar, Leo Spitzer writes that passing was “by and large
a personal solution to discrimination and exclusion. It was an
action that, when accomplished successfully, generally divorced
its individual practitioners from others in the subordinated group,
and in no way challenged the ideology of racism or the system in
which it was rooted. Indeed, because individuals responding to
marginality through . . . passing could be viewed as either
conscious or unwitting accomplices in their own victimization—as
persons consenting to the continuing maintenance of existing
inequalities and exclusionary ideologies—it is certainly
understandable why they often elicited such scathing criticism
from their contemporaries” (Qtd. in Kennedy 11-12)
14. Disruption of Social Construct
“Passing, however, does pose at least some challenge to racist
regimes. That is why they typically try to prevent it. Fleeing
bondage by passing may have been an individualistic response
to the tyranny of slavery but it did free human beings and
helped to belie the canard that slaves were actually content
with their lot. The successful performance of “white man’s
work” by a passing Negro upset racist claims that blacks are
categorically incapable of doing such work. The extent of the
disturbance is severely limited by the practical necessity of
keeping the passing secret. But under some circumstances a
limited disturbance is about all that can be accomplished”
(Kennedy 12).
16. The Prompt:
If passing for white will get a fellow better accommodations on the train, better seats
in the theatre, immunity from insults in public places, and may even save his life from
a mob,” only idiots would fail to seize the advantages of passing, at least occasionally if
not permanently.”
Write an essay of four to six pages arguing for or against William Pickens’s statement.
Use support from the texts you have read so far, our discussions, and your own
insights.
Do you agree with Pickens's statement?
If yes, why?
If no, why not?
17. Your Thesis
Your refined thesis will be your position on
William Pickens’s Statement: Do you agree
with him or not? Why or why not? You may
refer to Pickens or not in your thesis. You may
forecast your reasons in your thesis, or you
may refer to a broader theme and provide your
reasons in the body of your essay.
18. Write a Working Thesis
You can use these as models or examples
Racial passing is a personal decision, and people should seize the
opportunity if they can in order to defeat racism and discrimination.
Passing is a selfish act that reinforces hierarchy in society, and it should
be avoided despite the opportunities it offers the individual.
While racial passing for personal safety is a necessary and acceptable
passing in
behavior, general violates community norms
and reinforces the social construct of racism.
While full time passing violates familial and
community connections and should be avoided,
the wise person will pass part time to take
advantage of the benefits it can reap, including
the opportunities to escape racism and
oppression.
19. Refer to your FREECASH chart. What are your “reasons” for agreeing or
disagreeing with the act of passing? Your reasons should connect to your thesis.
Each one should be a topic for at least one body paragraph. Some reasons will
require multiple paragraph explanations.
Consider your best support for your assertion.
This will likely be from your brainstorming
using FREECASH.
Find textual evidence to support your
position.
Explain how your examples support your
thesis.
You can also use outside sources if you would
like to, but they are not necessary for this
paper.
20. Building Body Paragraphs
Topic Sentence: This is reason #1 that you agree or disagree. This sentence
should clearly support your thesis.
Textual Evidence: This is an example from one of the texts that we read.
Explanation/Analysis: This is where you explain how your example supports
your topic sentence. You can also draw conclusion from inferences.
Other Evidence: This could be from another primary text, a
secondary text, or from your personal experience.
Explanation/Analysis: This is where you explain how your example supports
your topic sentence. You can also draw conclusion from inferences.
Transition: This section moves your reader from your first body paragraph to
your second body paragraph.
21. Introductions
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. The
opening paragraph of your paper will provide your readers with
their initial impressions of your argument, your writing style, and
the overall quality of your work. A vague, disorganized, error-filled,
off-the-wall, or boring introduction will probably create a negative
impression. On the other hand, a concise, engaging, and wellwritten introduction will start your readers off thinking highly of
you, your analytical skills, your writing, and your paper.
22. Start by thinking about the
question you are trying to answer:
Write an essay of four to six pages arguing for or against William Pickens’s statement:
"If passing for white will get a fellow better accommodations on the train, better seats in the
theatre, immunity from insults in public places, and may even save his life from a mob," wrote
William Pickens, "only idiots would fail to seize the advantages of passing, at least occasionally if
not permanently"
Your entire essay will be a response to this question, and your
introduction is the first step toward that end. Your direct answer
to the assigned question will be your thesis, and your thesis will
be included in your introduction, so it is a good idea to use the
question as a jumping off point.
23. Open with an attention grabber. Consider
these options:
• A provocative quotation: Consider a line or two from one of the texts we
read. Then give some background about passing.
• An intriguing example of passing: Provide a situation or two in which a
person might be inclined to pass.
• A puzzling scenario: Imagine a scene that makes a reader consider the
consequences or benefits of passing.
• A vivid and perhaps unexpected anecdote: Open with a short story about
a successful or failed passing attempt.
• Find common ground with your reader: Offer a contemporary example of
passing (maybe a humorous one, even) and then explain the more
reasons for passing in this earlier time period.
24.
Avoid statements like "In this paper, I will argue
that racial passing destabilizes the social
construction of race and is therefore beneficial to
society."
While this sentence points toward your main
argument, it isn't especially interesting. It might be
more effective to say what you mean in a
declarative sentence: “Racial passing destabilizes
the social construction of race and is therefore
beneficial to society."
It is much more convincing to tell your readers
that than to tell them that you are going to say
that it does. Assert your main argument
confidently. After all, you can't expect your reader
to believe it if it doesn't sound like you believe it!
25. Introductions to Avoid
1. The restated question introduction: Twists the question to take up space in the
introduction.
2. The place holder introduction: Offers several vague sentences that don’t really say
much.
3. The Webster's Dictionary introduction. This introduction begins by giving the dictionary
definition of one or more of the words in the assigned question.
4. The "dawn of man" introduction. This kind of introduction generally makes broad,
sweeping statements about the relevance of this topic since the beginning of time.
5. The book report introduction. This introduction gives the name and author of the book
you are writing about, tells what the book is about, and offers other basic facts about
the book.
26. Let’s Try to Write an Introduction or Two
An intriguing example of
passing: Provide a situation
or two in which a person
might be inclined to pass.
A provocative quotation:
Consider a line or two from
one of the texts we read.
A puzzling scenario: Imagine
a scene that makes a reader
consider the consequences
or benefits of passing.
A vivid and perhaps
unexpected anecdote: Open
with a short story about a
successful or failed passing
attempt.
Find common ground with
your reader: Offer a
contemporary example of
passing (maybe a humorous
one, even) and then explain
the more reasons for passing
in this earlier time period.
27. Possible Outline
Introduction:
Thesis: This will likely be near the end of your introduction
Multiple Body Paragraphs supporting your thesis: The topic sentences of your body paragraphs
(probably situated fairly early in the paragraph) should connect directly to your thesis. You should use the
following rhetorical strategies to support your topic sentence:
define (describe and/or characterize unfamiliar terms, situations, or events)
classify (briefly distinguish between types: full time versus part time or kinds of passing)
exemplify (provide examples from primary or secondary texts)
analyze (explore and/or evaluate, particularly in terms of the connections of the
examples to your reasons or thesis)
explain (give details about) the connection between your example and your assertions.
conclude (provide a logical conclusion for your readers)
Transition (prepare your reader for the next paragraph.
Counter Argument: Anticipate your readers questions or doubts. Will will discuss this in our next class.
Conclusion: We will discuss this in our next class.
28. Writing
Sketch out a rough outline.
Intro: What kind?
