 Author's Note: This is somewhat of a companion piece to my first essay. In my first essay I reflected on my own status anxiety and my inexorable desire for power/money/dominance in a context where these desirables seemed attainable, concluding in some ways that I experienced cognitive dissonance because these feelings conflicted with the WHO that I wanted to be (or thought I wanted to be). In this essay I talk about Nietzsche's conception of the "will to power" because it was one of the more intoxicating sets of ideas I've encountered (and grappled with in the process of rationalizing my own goals/thoughts/desires). I hope that my revision of this essay will see me actually grappling and even sparring with Nietzsche's ideas as I project my own experiential understanding and belief onto his theory.

No, it's not a "companion piece," Brandon, it's reused work. In the context of a philosophy course, where an explication of Nietzsche's basic outlook would make a good exercise, this is fine. But here, where one would expect at least some effort to connect the explication of Nietzsche's thought to something we have read or discussed, or which is relevant to your effort to become a lawyer, the text sticks out like a sore thumb.

I think I can guess why you would have reused previously successful work here. But I need you to revise this, either by replacing it with a wholly new essay, or by modifying this one so that the explication of Nietzsche is a small portion of a piece that uses Nietzsche or his ideas as a steppingstone elsewhere.
