Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Course work

    I think if I was forced to give an honest answer I would say that I prefer the rain. It has that feeling of equality, like no matter how much money, no matter how much wealth you have, you can’t run from the rain. It’s about now that a hard slap to the leg brings…

  • re-draft

    How the hell did it get this bad this quick? I planned every little detail, police, star, codes. In the distance a police siren wails but it can’t be close because it it was id be dead. “KENNY, WE NEED TO GO!!”. The police car come round the corner and I scamper up like a…

  • Story through pictures

    “Would you not say that the key of life is to gain knowledge. I believe it is. I also believe that it is important to spread that word to tell eny body who will listen what you know. You must be magnetic you must have the grace of a fish while having the pacitence of…

  • How I live now

    Why is she in England? 15 pounds for half an hour. What mugs are paying that much. Back to the normal space. As I drive round to the normal space I begin to scroll through the convosations I had with my Mum. All I can really remember is that she said this girl was some…

  • How dose Shakespeare construct our understanding of Lady Macbeth character?

    Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as a proud, overly ambitious, woman. This is done by her saying and doing manly things. “That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold” This shows that Lady Macbeth is proud and pleased to be able to have participated in drinking. She is by herself when she says this,…

  • The wolf of wall street

    This is one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. The Wolf Of Wall Street can make you laugh, which is something that I think most books forget to do. I like this book because Jordan Belford makes no attempt to justify, to the reader, why he did the things he did. There…

  • practice pice

    I think that Shakespeare has shown Macbeth as a over the top caricature who is always being extravagant even when he is being sad or scared.
