While on their journey to find Italy Anchises passes away, Aeneas is heartbroken and once again had to endure another death. However Virgil’s keeps reminding us of Anchises, as he refers to Aeneas as “son of Anchises.” Even though Anchises dies and we are told about this in book 3, in book 5 he returns to Aeneas and tells him to visit the underworld. Even though he is dead he still worries about his son and asks him to come see him. This shows us the importance of their relationship because Aeneas risks his life to go visit his father in hades and his father still wants to help Aeneas reach Italy. Aeneas has a very close bond with his father; it could be argued if we could say the same about him and his mother Venus.

Throughout the movie, Royal has always seemed to look out for number one, but this act put himself in danger to save his grandsons that never really knew him. Overtime, Royal has an epiphany that these last days living with his family were truly the most important and best days of his

My View Of Sociology and Suicide Our fourteen year old son has struggled with severe depression and made an attempt to take his own life. We have him hospitalized in a long-term mental hospital. It has been the hardest time for our family as we try hard to understand why that he is suicidal The theorist that best supports my view of Sociology is Emile Durkheim, because his theory has opened my eyes to why suicide occurs, therefore, it has helped me to understand my son’s reasoning for his suicidal ideation.

The True Greek Epic Hero Homers’ epic poem The Odyssey displays the valiant endeavors of the true definition of a Greek epic hero, Odysseus. We see Odysseus get through many challenging tasks, all while dealing with the emotional torment of loneliness, as he has not seen his wife nor his son in over 20 years. Odysseus, a war hero, victor of the Trojan War, has already fulfilled his duties as a warrior. But it seems as if that was just a simple warm-up compared to the epic battle of just making it back to his lovely wife, Penelope, and his maturing son, Telemachus. Odysseus fits the definition of a Greek epic hero perfectly, and must continue to use his valor as he pushes through his journey.
However the wife leaves, confining the husband to his home alone. In this poem the husband takes on a stereotypical role in the marriage by being the stronger person of the relationship. He strives for control of the situation and pretends to not care much that he just buried his son. He hides his emotions and changes the subject to the rot he found on the fence. At first he wonders why his wife is crying and becomes angry with him, but once she explodes at him, confessing all her feelings, and threatens to leave him, he states that, “There, you have said it all and you feel better.
