The parent would like to see more […]

Week Three Draft Why Write a Draft? All writers begin a project by brainstorming their ideas and constructing a rough draft. The draft is not a completed paper; rather, it allows writers to explore and develop their ideas.

A modern example of Hume’s ideas about the “self” might be to look at movie film. At 30 frames a second, the individual pictures come so quickly that it looks like continuous movement instead of thousands of individual pictures. And the changes […]
