	My english teacher wanted the entire class to write a persuasive essay around a philosophical quote, "He hath but seen half of the universe but he hath never been shown The House of Pain." ~Emerson Does anyone here know how to break up or even understand it? Let alone write a persuasive essay on it???? sweatdrop

Sorry, you may be on your own for this one. confused

	Queen, Emerson is male. Unless you meant the teacher... Basically, he's saying that a life experience is insufficient if you only ever experience the good things. You need to experience bad things as well to have a complete life experience. :/ Good for a one or two page essay.

	I have very little knowledge in literature, itself. The only thing I have to say is that House of Pain is a very irksome band. Otherwise, I'd just go with what Judas Iscariot had to say.
