Explain that idea as fully, clearly, and correctly as possible to the best of your ability.

Topic:
If you had to repeat the same day over and over again (like in the Nietzsche reading and/or Groundhog Day), perhaps consider: What would help you get through it? What would make it worse? Would hope help or hurt? Could you hope for anything? What would make that a good life, if anything?

Use the Nietzsche reading, The Greatest Weight (PDF provided in uploaded files) and the movie Groundhog Day.

1. Quote once from one of the readings, cite the pg #, and explain the quote–although you probably will quote and paraphrase more than that.
2. In at least one full paragraph, fully, clearly, and correctly explain one of your philosopher’s ideas using and referring to the Nietzsche reading – this is key.
3. That can be all you aim to do, or, you can spend the rest of the HW responding to it in any way you’d like (connection, criticism, your own example, etc.). This means that this part can include other sources–such as outside readings or movies – Use the movie Groundhog Day to do this!

– 1,000 words, not including quotes of full sentences or more.
– Paragraphs must be 4-10 sentences each, not including quotes of full sentences or more.
– Focus on one (i.e., main) idea.
– Explain that idea as fully, clearly, and correctly as possible to the best of your ability.
– Only give info and ideas relevant to the main idea.
– Each time you first refer to or start to explain or discuss a new idea, give the paragraph # and/or page # that idea appears on, and be sure it’s clear which reading it’s from by mentioning the title and author at least once–i.e., cite your sources even when not directly quoting.
