If the son were underage, he will not be able to fend for himself or provide for himself. While some may argue that he
Misopeliades tell the men that he thinks it’s a bad idea for Achilles to go and fight in war because he never does anything right. Misopeliades feels Achilles will only make things worse than what they are already. Misopeliades thinks he is only thinking of going to the war because he wants to be seen as respected by his people. The whole war wouldn’t be as bad if Achilles didn’t become so enraged over such a little situation.
A quote from Hebert Hoover sums this up well: “Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.” We certainly did not see Prime Minister Borden go out onto Dead Man’s Land to fight as a soldier did we? What gives one man the right to sentence thousands to death? I believe that lives are one of the most important things in a war, and that conscription does not take this into
Since there were so many “young men her father had driven away,” it can be inferred that Emily’s father was a very unwelcoming man who did not believe any male was good enough to meet the Grierson standards (Faulkner 55). As stated by Victor Strandberg, “driving away her suitors so as to keep her housekeeping services for himself, Emily 's father has ruined her chances for a normal life” (par. 3). After the death of Mr. Grierson, all that Emily had left was herself and the house because of the seclusion her father created. However, she could have willingly escaped this confinement because her father was no longer there to set rules for her. Instead, she “went out very little” (Faulkner 53).
He was not great because he didn’t show concern for others, leadership, or intelligence. Alexander the Great was not the best because of his mass amounts of murder, not much care for his soldiers, and his poor ability to lead. The first reason Alexander the Great is not amazing because of the mass amount of murder he committed. One example is during the battle at Tyre, once Alexander’s army broke into the city they went on a ferocious killing spree (Doc C). Alexander had ordered anyone that was not inside the temple to be slain and he killed seven thousand Tyrians.
Andrew Jackson was a bad president because he only cared about what he liked and disliked. He disliked the Natives not moving so he moved them by force and in the process killed many. He did not like what the National Bank represented so he destroyed it thereby sending the country into a depression. He liked putting his friends in power so he did even if they were out of touch with the common man. Ironically Andrew Jackson was known as a supporter of the common man but actually he was one of the most insensitive presidents in American
Pushing Potter to resign would certainly reinforce this consequence, but I think it is unnecessary given the negative consequence that I outlined
Remember, Gregor had no factor on whether he changed form or not. It just happened. In “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, Gregor samsa is forced to be an outsider from society. A reason why Gregor is forced to be an outsider by society is he never had a choice to change form to cockroach but he was still treated poorly by his family.
When Mr Perry perceived that Neil participated in acting, he callously told Neil to stop. Since Neil had an uncompromising father who assumed his choices were made for the best of his child, Neil had no other choice but to abide. Neil was not given the opportunity to choose between acting, joining the school annual
Its squalor, diseases were spread quickly for its environment. During that 12th century era, there wasn 't any medicine that can cure them and of course the people in there will obviously let them die. Realizing and understanding people just let Newgate prison spoil into the worst of the worst. Death was publicly applied and people enjoyed it. From getting cut into piece, burn at state, hung and more that makes the prison, a place where people don’t even want to go near.
He was too scared to do anything, as he never fought in a war before. This quote is important to the book because, Henry defines himself as a young boy that wants to be a man but runs away in battle. He would rather bleed and bleed, instead of not doing anything. I would agree and disagree with this quote. I agree because you are helping the army by at least doing
This is a title he perhaps didn’t want to have as he despised what his creation had become he wanted it to be educational something that furthered people’s understanding, however he simply saw talk show comedians kids shows that didn’t teach them anything. Farnsworth went so far as to not allow it in his house and his children grew up knowing that their father invented television, but they were not allowed to watch it. “There’s nothing on it worthwhile, and we are not going to watch it in this household, and I don’t want it in your intellectual diet.” (http://www.cmgww.com) One thing made Philo T. Farnsworth see his invention as worth it, and that was being able to see the first man step onto the moon.
Education in Sparta: Did the Strengths Outweigh the Weaknesses? Imagine yourself being reborn as a baby boy in Sparta. You were born as a strong and healthy child, so you were allowed by government officials in Sparta to continue living. By the time you reached the age of 7, you were sent to military school. There, you had to endure severe physical training alongside other young boys near your age, but rarely learned reading and writing.
Which society would you prefer weak babies get left out to die, strong military, women's rights, responsible people. Or no babies getting left out, irresponsible people, not amazing military, with flourishing philosophy, next to no women's rights. Sparta and athens are terrible and good at the same time. To find out why read on.
Sparta was a civilization in ancient Greece that grew in power when defeating the neighboring city-state, Athens, in the Peloponnesian war. Sparta is made up of a warrior society meaning the values were centered on loyalty to the state and military. During the Archaic Age, Sparta and Athens became dominate polis, although both cultures are opposing. The Spartan people were very militaristic and expansionists; they believed the strength in their city-state come from the strength of not only their foundation but from their people. Every male born was expected to become a strong warrior to one day grow up and defend their home; while the woman stayed and took care of the land.
