BODY PARAGRAPH TWO: Whаt Picо Sаys Freedоm Is Fоr (250-300 words) Pico does not treаt freedom as neutral. Having the power to become anything is not the same as using it well. In this paragraph, explain what Pico says we are supposed to do with our freedom. This is the second criterion you will carry into Part 2. Include: Topic Sentence: A clear statement that this paragraph will explain Pico's view of how human freedom should be used. Detailed Explanation: Pico argues that man should not rest content with the lower or "mediocre" forms of life but should direct his freedom upward, toward the divine. Explain this call to ascent in your own words. Connection to Pico's Key Ideas and Images: How does Pico picture this ascent? Consider the ladder reaching from earth to heaven, the imitation of the angels (Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones), and the disciplines that carry us upward (moral philosophy, dialectic, natural philosophy, and finally theology). The Responsibility of Choice: Why does Pico believe it would be shameful to waste this freedom? What does he mean when he urges us not to be "content with the mediocre"? What is at stake in choosing to rise or to sink? Textual Evidence: Include at least two direct quotations from the Oration that illustrate Pico's call to ascent, citing the page number(s). Quote Analysis: After each quotation, explain what it means in your own words and why it is significant. Connect it to Pico's larger argument about how freedom should be used.
