to seise to exist?
The phrase, "to seise to exist," - to fail to be alive - draw's many different thoughts, in which might cause one-self to ask, what exactly does this phrase mean to me, which is a very hard question to answer without breaking down the context and meaning of each indivdual word in the phrase, more specifically exist: Is existing a physical state; is existing a mental state in which existing means living, however in this situation, what exactly does living mean: to be physically alive- or perhaps something more deep, which might behoove oneself to ask, am I really living life?

Despite the prominent spelling error I found this sentence very interesting. The author used every trick in the book to try to elongate his sentence. From hyphen and semicolons to colons and orphan sentences. While he ha succeeded in writing a relatively grammatically correct there are some issues, most notably the juncture with the colon.
ReplyDeleteThis sentence does progress chronologically but lacks the flow that would really make it exemplary.
Lastly, while this sentence is formatted to appeal to logos its execution places it as an appeal to pathos. It is not quite sound logically, lacks the flow necessary to truly appeal to a rational nature. It does however instill the reader with a feeling of importance. The pathetic appeal.
Despite a few stumbles, namely a prominent spelling error and some issues of flow, this sentence successfully appeals to Pathos.
spelling mistake?
