The first step in writing your Essay Explaining an Idea You Have About an Abstraction

After having found some unusual and different abstract words (class activity), write five "idea" sentences for each abstraction.  Your goal is to find an unusual and different idea about each, an "idea" sentence which you can develop into a new essay.  This sentence will become the main idea of an essay emphasizing the definition.

Develop a list of ten unusual abstracts, try for the unusual and different, not something others might think of off the top of their heads:
 
Abstraction--name of an idea or emotion.
Abstract--sentence or paragraph which states an idea about an abstraction.  Also known as a thesis/claim or summary.

vulgar	sly	awe	exuberant
crude	disinterested	bliss	fallow
ignorant	bland	spicy	care/caring

Abstraction	care	faith
Abstract or Thesis or Claim which becomes the central focus of a personal essay.	Care rises up in us when we see another's grief and suffering.   When we care about something, we are trapped in the sweet molasses of relationships.   Even though the world itself seems unconcerned with our efforts, we engage with and deal with people because we care.   Care is a natural mechanism which makes it more likely that a species will survive and be successful.  We mistake it, however, for a spiritual mechanism reserved for humans.	Folks ought not to be blindly faithful to an authority they have been trained to trust.   Faith is the ability to believe something for which you have no concrete evidence.   In the absence of true knowledge, faith is often the only thing that keeps us moving.
