  • "christian" holidays

    I would just like to comment that holidays such as Christmas and Easter actually started as pagan holidays. The pagan roots of Christmas and Easter is what brought about the Christmas tree and Easter bunnies. Christmas was "Saturnalia" and Easter was "Ishtar." It was the Catholic church who made these holidays "Christian." Everybody knows that Christ was not born Dec. 25th. I am not afraid to say I am a Christian, however I actually do not celebrate Christmas or Easter as anything religious. To me it is merely a "fun" holiday such as Valentines day or Halloween. Non-christians celebrate Christmas and Easter as fun holidays also. My religious celebrations include the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles because to me that has relevant meaning. But I must say I do not mind getting a day off of school for holidays whether I participate in them or not. I encourage you to research "Saturnalia" and "Ishtar." You will be surprised at what you find.

  • Lies

    I think the essay should be written with more formal language. It also needs a powerful illustration showing cause and effect in order to persuade a lier to not lie.

  • Nice overview

    I like how you summarize and give specific examples of his work. I would recommend taking "I" out of the last paragraph; Instead say, "Proclus, a later Greek philosopher, said this of the genius, "..."

  • Needs more thought, supporting evidence, and organization

    The third paragraph is one long run-on sentence. The essay contains many punctuation errors. The view presented is merely opinion and does not serve to support a point; the thought seems slightly random.
