so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which
should energize back of his great deed:

Number of Words: 1913 / Number of Pages: 7
... He could only define it as a
true miracle if this dead man were to come back to life. This
would be a miraculous event because such an experience has not
yet been commonly observed. In which case, his philosophical
view of a miracle would be true.

He views society as being far to liberal in what they consider
to be a miracle. He gives the reader four ideas to s ...

How Can We Achieve Clarity Through Writing?
Number of Words: 623 / Number of Pages: 3
... the single sided judgments that I had. The transformation that I went through created a greater worth of the words I wrote in my papers, and helped to make sense of all the issues addressed, not just one of them.

An example of this is the incident where the boys are asked their height and Genes says he is 5’9 and Finny corrects him by saying, “no your five foot eight and a half, the same as me.” This quote shows the honesty that Finny possesses and that Gene lacks.
