  • “The Metaphysical Poets: A Debate on the Unity of Thought and Feeling in the Works of John Donne and Andrew Marvell”

    I have attached the book pages you will need.
    18th-century critic Dr. Samuel Johnson, who first employed the term “metaphysical poets,” wrote that, in the poetry of the Metaphysicals, “the most heterogeneous ideas are yoked by violence together.” 20th-century poet T.S. Eliot disagreed, writing in his essay, “The Metaphysical Poets,” that those poets “united thought and feeling,” and “fel[t] their thought as immediately as the odour of a rose.” Discuss the validity of these opposing views, citing specific poems by John Donne and Andrew Marvell. (You may use any Marvell poem in Norton; you’re not limited to “To His Coy Mistress.”)

  • “Evaluating the Ethics of Euthanasia: A Systematic Analysis of Four Different Positions”

    Then, using the modified form of our System of Ethical Analysis shown below, test and evaluate each of these three types of Euthanasia. Based on your evaluation, determine for each type if it can be justified Ethically (or not). Pay particular attention to the Positives-and-Negatives section of the System. What are the positives and negatives for each of these three types, and do the positives outweigh the negatives?
    In addition to the three types of Euthanasia you have chosen from this listing, evaluate a fourth statement not found on the listing in your textbook: “Euthanasia in any form is not Ethically justifiable until any circumstance.” Using the System shown below, evaluate this position as well to determine if it can be justified.
    Again, keep in mind that you are not graded on the positions you take. Instead, your grade is based on the completeness and thoroughness of your analysis and evaluation.
