    Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century, received a letter from Phyllis Wright in 1936. In this letter, Phyllis asks Einstein whether or not scientists pray. In his response, Einstein's purpose was not only to answer Phyllis' question, but he wanted to express to the public that everyone has a belief in the unknown, whether it be religion or scientific knowledge. Einstein uses words which mirror those used in religion and a neutral diction, and he structures his letter in a way that makes the reader have to think about the answer for themselves in order to achieve his purpose effectively…

    Albert Einstein considered the greatest scientist of the 20th century hopes to accurately respond to Phyllis’s letter that asked him whether scientists prayed and if they did what did they pray about. Einstein’s response is rhetorically accurate in the fact that he lets Phyllis know the answer to her question in an understandable manner and is not abrupt. Einstein’s audience is a sixth-grade student so he answered his question by saying “no” in a kind way. The writer Einstein uses pathos and logos to allow his point to clearly shine; he also uses simplistic diction to recreate his audiences understanding.…

    Sixth graders, generally curious people, learn about so many new things and attempt to make sense of it all. They may notice the overlap of religion and science and have many questions pertaining to these two areas. Phyllis noticed this and began to question how faith and science go together, or if they do at all. Particularly, she was curious if scientists pray, and if so, what for. In order to attempt to find an answer for Phyllis, Einstein shared some of his past experiences and knowledge, along with his own view on the situation. Einstein answered her in a letter by telling her scientists don’t pray but instead believe in the laws of nature based on a sort of faith.…

    Young Albert tried to imagine the mysterious force that caused the compass needle to move, and the experience awakened a sense of wonder that stayed with him for life. Understanding the universe became an "eternal riddle" for Einstein, a quest for scientific enlightenment. "The road to this paradise was not as comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise," he wrote, "but it has proved itself as trustworthy, and I have never regretted having chosen it."- www.amnh.org/exhibitions/einstein/life/ Albert Einstein was a poor student and although he did not earn top grades in every subject, he excelled at math and science. "It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle," he wrote, "that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry." Schilpp, 1970. p. 17. Being fiercely independent, even as a young boy, Albert had already developed a deep distrust of authority. He challenged not only his teachers but also long-standing mathematical and scientific "givens," such as ancient Greek rules of geometry and laws of physics established by other scientists. Ironically, Einstein's questioning and resulting breakthroughs eventually turned him into an authority…

    Einstein became an American citizen in 1940. Not long after settling into his career at the Institute for Advanced Study (in Princeton, New Jersey), he expressed his appreciation of the "meritocracy" in American culture when compared to Europe. According to Isaacson, he recognized the "right of individuals to say and think what they pleased", without social barriers, and as result, the individual was "encouraged" to be more creative, a trait he valued from his own early education. Einstein writes:…

    Einstein then continues on to create his idea of logos, which he created by supplying a counterargument. “Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the actions of people.” By stating this, Einstein concedes to the controversy of scientists with no religious beliefs. However, while conceding with the scientists that believe in the laws of nature, Einstein was concurrently supporting his own statement…

When he attended elementary school he excelled in his academics, he also enjoyed classical music, and his mother had taught him how to play the violin (Kovalchick). At the age of twelve he was captivated by a geometry book, he would read it over and over. After quitting high school at the age of 15, he moved to Italy, there he attended a congenial Swiss High School.

When Einstein was first born his mother said that he had an abnormally sized head, and his grandmother said that he was fat. As a kid Albert Einstein had speech problems, he regularly rehearsed sentences in his head or under his breath until he got them right. Albert was a late talker his parents were worried, his first time talking was at the dinner table one night when he says “The soup is too hot” in awe his parents asked him why he ever spoke before he said “Because up till now everything was I order.” Thomas Sowell an author said this about speech problems, “many brilliant people developed speech relatively late in childhood. He called this condition The Einstein Syndrome.” When Einstein was just five years of age and sick in bed his father showed him a pocket compass, this sparked interest in Einstein, he thought to himself there must be some force on the compass to make it point north. Albert Einstein was very religious until he grew to the young age of twelve. In 1895 when Einstein was 17 he failed his entrance exam into the Swiss Federal Polytechnical School the math and science section he passed but failed in all the other portions of the test. Einstein went to a Trade school and then a year later was emitted into SFPS (Swiss Federal Polytechnical School). Love letters found in the 1980’s show that he was having an intimate relationship with his former student Mileva Maric, in 1902 a year before they got married Mileva gave birth to a girl Einstein never saw or met his daughter her fate remains unknown. After Einstein’s divorce with Mileva in 1919 Hans, Albert’s oldest son blamed Einstein for abandoning his mother. When Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize for physics he didn’t give one dime to Mileva making her economic status even harder to sustain. After Einstein’s death in 1955 scientist Thomas Stoltz Harvey illegitimately removed…
