In this selection, Thomas H. Benton compares students to the seven deadly sins and painfully exaggerates his argument. By agreeing with Benton, it can cause some consequences due to the fact that he semis persistent on being negative throughout the whole essay. The main ethical problem in this section would have to be the fact that he uses the seven deadly sins in a way that seems like there is not way of truly fixing the situation. Sloth: Benton writes that students under this category are…

Instead Dante is shown all the different levels that hell is made of by his tour guide. With this painting from Date's Inferno the reader can see the environment that is in hell and all those who it effects. In this painting the artist uses the mountains in…
