Essays by James Brunskill,
Here are a collection of essays I have writen for various courses I have
done. They fall under 3 major categories, Philosophy, Bible, and
Computer Science. I am providing them here mostly as a reference for myself
and for you to see how not to write :) Please do not Plagerise,
These essays are copywrite to me and should not be handed in as your
work. If you want to quote from them (I can't see why you would) then you
must provide a full reference this webpage, and my name.
Philosophy Essays
|
This Essay was writen for the class Language
and Communication at Waikato Uni. It discusses Grices theory that
Linguistic meaning can be built from examining what the Utterer
means by his utterence. It can't have been too badly writen because
I recieved an A+ for it. But before I get too happy, Dr. David
Lumsden said (about this essay) "I think my
main reservation about this essay is some occasional
flakey punctuation." So this might be a good example of
how not to punctuate
your essay... |

Eliminative Materialism is an unusual
theory, it says that there are no beliefs or desires, they are
simply side nonexistent states that we make up to help explain
behavior. Anyway If the topic graps you should read the essay :) But
be warned, the Lecturer stated that I could have taken more time to
make sure I express my self clearly and consisely. So maybe I could
suggest you read it as an example of how not to
write clearly and consisely, and how not to demonstrate formal
style... | |
Biblical Essays
|
This isn't really a full essay, it is more
notes for, or the beginnings of an essay, the version I handed in
has since been lost. It was writen for a New Testament servey course
at the New Zealand Missionary Training College www.nzmtc.ac.nz
|
|
This was also writen for the New
Testament servey course at the New Zealand Missionary Training
College www.nzmtc.ac.nz I
discusses how the old testament was shown to be fullfilled in
Matthews Gospel, how Jesus was able to fullfill, and
surpass the law, and it discusses
"the Kingdom of God" as it is protrayed
in
matthew. |

As I state in
the first paragraph of this essay its purpose is to
discuss the way Mark�s gospel presents.
-
The gradual revelation of Jesus as
the Messiah
-
Jesus the suffering Son of
Man
-
The large proportion of Mark devoted
to the Last week of Jesus

This is another incomplete essay, It was
supposed to present Pauls teachings on the old and new
convenants. |
|
This essay, as the title suggests, discusses
the relationship between the church and the state during biblical
times. My opening statement was :"The
authors of Revelation, Hebrews, James, Peter, and Romans were
writing their letters to a persecuted Christian community. The
church was struggling to see how they could submit to an authority
that was so harshly persecuting them. " What would you do if the government made it illegal to be a
christain? I think in the essay I attempt to summarise what paul
said to his church with regards to the
issue. T/FONT> | |
Computer Science Essays
|
This is a poorly writen essay. I wrote
it very quickly and with basicly no research. It was supposed to
touch on two topics, Alan Turings "Turing Test", and to describe the
Alice Bot which is currently the the computer program that has come closest to
passing the turing test. Feel free to read it
anyway... | |
