The excerpt below is from William Hazlitt's "On the Pleasure of Hating" (1826). Read the
excerpt carefully. Then write an essay that argues your position on the value-if any-of
hatred.
[Without something to hate, we should lose the very spring of thought and action. Life would
turn to a stagnant pool, were it not ruffled by the jarring interests, the unruly passions of men.
Pure good soon grows insipid, wants variety and spirit. Pain is a bittersweet, which never
surfeits. Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust: hatred alone is immortal.
In your response you should do the following:
• Respond to the prompt with a thesis that may establish a line of reasoning.
Select and use evidence to develop and support your line of reasoning.
Explain the relationship between the evidence and your thesis.
Demonstrate an understanding of the rhetorical situation.
Use appropriate grammar and punctuation in communicating your argument.

I disagree that one should have something to hate for life to have meaning.

What is Hate? Hate is a deep distaste for a thing or a person that eats up one's soul.

Most religions advise their followers not to bear hate in their heart because it can cause them to lose peace and the many joys and happiness of life.

I disagree, that life would become a stagnant pool without hate, instead this would happen without a clear purpose and passion.

With purpose and passion comes action, and with action comes contentment, and this, to me, is the true value of life.

Hatred is an emotion that sometimes rears its ugly head but it needs to be immediately squashed and replaced with love, joy, contentment and all the good emotions.

The ideals of love and contentment dispute the need for something to dislike in order for life to have a purpose.

Hate is a strong dislike for something or someone that eats away at one's spirit.

Most faiths encourage their followers not to harbor hatred in their hearts since it might lead to the loss of serenity and the many joys and happiness that life has to offer.

That life would become a stagnant pool in the absence of hatred; instead, this would occur in the absence of a distinct goal and passion.

With purpose and passion comes action, and with action comes contentment, which is the ultimate value of life in my opinion.

Hatred is an emotion that occasionally rears its ugly head, but it must be quickly destroyed and replaced with love, joy, satisfaction, and all the other positive feelings.
