Arendt Reading

Good Sentence:
One passage I really enjoyed from the reading came from Arendt's visualization of labor.
"This seems so because tilling the soil, its close relation to the biological cycle and its utter dependence upon the larger cycle of nature notwithstanding, leaves some product behind which outlasts its own activity and forms a durable addition to the human artifice: the same task, performed year in and year out, will eventually transform the wilderness into cultivated land (138)."
This is a great analogy of the lasting effect our labor has on the earth around us, and the great cycle of work. The passage doesn't run-on too long or get too wordy, and provides an efficient and detailed analogy.

Bad sentence:
"Labor, to be sure, also produces for the end of consumption, but since this end, the thing to be consumed, lacks the worldly permanence of a piece of work, the end of the process is determined by the end product but rather by the exhaustion of labor power, while the products themselves, on the other hand, immediately become means again, means of subsistence and reproduction of labor power (143)."
This is an extremely convoluted sentence, and took me numerous reads to even begin to understand. The extensive use of commas, careless filler, and red herrings were difficult to wade through.
