I And Ii Thessalonians
Number of words: 881 | Number of pages: 4.... by Paul and they seem to be uncharacteristic of him. The phrase, "shaken in mind", is in 2:2 (NRSV) and is another example of something that is not in any other part of Paul's writings. The style of II Thessalonians seems different than Paul’s usual means or writing. This letter is written in a very formal way as if to people that the author may not know very well (Freed 320). Paul would have known these people since he had been there and already written them a previous letter.
Freed mentions that the signature referred to in II Thessalonians 3:17 is a fake. He questions what good the signature does in the second lette .....

Number of words: 956 | Number of pages: 4.... you and see it
taken away.
Friedrich Nietzshe explains us a lot more his perception of life.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand most of the things he meant, but I will
explain what I think I understood. Nietzshe describes life with the help of a
man and a beast. The beast always forgets what he wants to say and what he said.
This behaviour is also called forgetfulness. He (Nietzshe) claims that [life in
any true sense is absolutely impossible without forgetfulness]. He also says
something about death. [And when death brings at last the desired forgetfulness,
it abolishes life and being together, and sets the seal on the knowledge .....
