Goliath Acromegaly

252 Words2 Pages

Listening to this video was very intriguing, especially since I have grown up hearing this story my whole life. I heard it in children's church, while reading the bible, and also in recent church services. Every time I heard this story, I never once considered that Goliath might have had something wrong with him, and that maybe David wasn’t so helpless after all. I completely agree with all of his points. None of them are absolutely certain, however there is a great deal of evidence supporting his claim. I agree that Goliath may have had acromegaly, and that it may have caused Goliath to be weaker than made out to be. However, coming from a Christian faith it’s difficult to change my belief in something I’ve been told my entire life. I learned

    Odysseus then proceeds to stab the cyclops's eye in his sleep. When the giant yells for help and opens the door, he yells that Nohbdy is hurting him. Odysseus puts his men under the cyclops’s sheep and sends them out. He thought the situation through and makes it out alive along with his men. I think this is one sign of a true epic hero because a true hero can on his feet ,and he can think ab what will come and prevents it from happening just like how Odysseus told the cyclopes his name was Nohbdy.

  • Luko Gordic Case 13-Year-Old

    723 Words  | 3 Pages

    2015, Luka Gordic is attacked and killed by three 17-year-olds. 2014, two 13-year-old girls attempt to kill their friend Payton Leutner. 2011, David Vincent is shot at by a 13-year-old and dies. These are all cases of murder or attempted murder, but they were done by juveniles, who can change in the blink of an eye. In today’s world, these youth will be or have been sentenced as adults, with much longer sentences than those of the juvenile court, despite the fact that there are rehabilitation clinics that could have better helped them while their minds were still flexible. Many aspects go on in everyday life for these children, that are very rarely taken into consideration because they’re insignificant compared to their crimes, even though this information could be what makes the case completely flip around. Often they don’t have good role models to show them how to treat others and themselves; they only realize they’ve done wrong when the world tells them, and the world is a harsh master compared to their fragile brains.
