Ahhh... I see. Was confused. So those two pieces are what you have to write on? 6 pages. About... Repetition, Rhythm, uhhh... Structure... the propogation of structured ideas in society... uhhh... overtaking, or overshadowing the urge towards individuality in man, with, the... stronger urge towards... tradition... because civilization exists through defying the entropy, the chaos that nature tends towards, and replacing it with... what are ultimately artificial constructs... which... has benefits for the society as a whole, but places a great load on the shoulders of the individual, as they are... ecplipsed... by the template of what a modern person should be, according to the prevailing wisdom of the times, as opposed to the contributions they could make through originality, as is necessary, that is: it is necessary for an individual to break the mold (ever so often in our collective history) in order for us all to benefit, but paradoxically, most of us cannot achieve success without conforming, to one degree or another, to the structure that society imposes on us, which is reinforced through the generations, and through the clinical, scientific heirarchy of accepted disciplines, all a sort of rhythm, a sort of repeating pattern which drowns out the impulse towards individuality, but also sheilds us from the harmful elements of the human psyche which come hand in hand with the freedom to defy the defined roles society has placed before us... blah blah blah ... you should be able to bullshit your way through six pages with some random nonsense such as this. Good luck.
