He risked his existence, his wealth, and his men. Beowulf did not think of the safety of his men, he was not aware of others' lives, but instead focused on his own victory.

Excessive pride is frowned upon as for the sinner only sees himself and leaves no room for God.
I will be critiquing Jimmy’s courageous speech in the following paragraphs. At the beginning of Valvano’s speech as all eyes were on him, recalling the Tupac Shakur album all eyes on me, everyone watched as if the words were coming directly from the mouth of God. Jim opens his speech with a joke saying “That’s the lowest I’ve ever seen Dick Vitale since the owner of the Detroit Pistons called him in and told him he should go into broadcasting” Somewhat lightening up the tense atmosphere of his cancer diagnosis, gaining the audience’s attention, and creating continuity with them as well. Shortly thereafter Valvano humbles himself by
He was bailed to re-appear at the court on October 3. Veteran homicide detective Sergeant Ron Iddles said before the hearing: ''The people have gone out to, I suppose, challenge them, find them, find the reason why they threw the eggs and, sadly, now one of them is dead - all over someone throwing eggs.'' A relative remembered how happy and beautiful Ms Mercuri had been at a New Year's party this year. ''It was the best party - we had a great time didn't we? Fireworks in the park on the corner.''
Most families, he says, including his own, have headed to California to look for work. The next morning, Tom and Jim set out for Tom’s Uncle John’s, where Muley assures them they will find the Joad clan. Upon arrival, Tom finds Ma and Pa Joad packing up the family’s few possessions. Having seen handbills advertising fruit-picking jobs in California, they envision the trip to California as their only hope of getting their lives back on track. The journey to California in a rickety used truck is long and arduous.

The thoughts of his friends degrading him for eating “Asian” food for lunch dwelled in his subconscious for months, or perhaps even years. Pedro’s solution was simple: get rid of the traditional Asian food and eat whatever everyone else eats, which was Lunchables. He simply wanted to fit in and not be teased anymore. He felt utter humiliation, so refraining himself from bringing what his mom packed him for
John Proctor, throughout the play, though a cool and levelheaded individual, did not fit with the creation of a new society within Salem and therefore, was forced to wither away with the rest of those bent on staying attached to a failing society. His views of the people who existed within Salem’s new society were often attacking and completely based on his own opinion.

His personality, from which his views stemmed from, was straightforward, calculating, and honest. Yet honesty held no reign during his fall, as it did in his own sociological prime.

base in northern Afghanistan. The mission, approved by President Obama on Friday, had been set for early Sunday local time but had to be delayed because of poor weather. Unlike 1980's doomed mission to rescue the American diplomats held hostage in Iran, by all accounts, the strike on bin Laden's fortress in Abbott bad went smoothly. Navy Seal Team 6 which reportedly played the key role in the assault was created following the disaster that left eight Americans dead at Desert One. About two dozen Seals and CIA enablers swooped down on the compound in a pair of choppers, leaving the second pair lurking nearby in case they were needed.
