Athena’s relationship with Odysseus was close friends. They were close friends because Athena was always trying to help Odysseus anyway she could. She was always giving Odysseus advice and protecting him and “urges” him into doing things; she also would protect Odysseus’ family, his son mostly, by telling them if something bad was going to happen. First, Athena helped Odysseus in many ways. She “appealed to Zeus to help Odysseus since he has been wondering the seas for ten years”.
31 March 2011 The Sacrifices In Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, the theme of sacrifice is manifest in the novel in regards to the characters selfless actions from Lucie Manette devoting time to her husband before his final hours to Carton substituting his life in the place of a friend. The characters in the novel sacrifice their time to aid others. In order to preserve the life of a loved one, one may have to offer the life of another. Sydney Carton would surrender him at any opportunity he gets to extricate Ms. Manette or anyone she loves out of a troublesome situation. Carton stated that “if [his] career were of that better kind that there was any opportunity or capacity of sacrifice in it, [he] would embrace any sacrifice for [Lucie] and for those dear to [her]” (Dickens chapter 19).

Andrew Hall Mrs. Krause English 11 Honors August 28, 2014 Abigail Adams Rhetorical Strategies Abigail Adams writes to her son, John Adams, in order to guide him and offer advice as he enters an important part of his life, of which she feels obliged to be a part of. In her letter she provides many instances of sincere and helpful advice, yet does not do so without the use of rhetorical strategies to emphasize her point and persuade her boy to adhere to her strict plan for him. Her acts of persuasion are in no way malicious or ill-fated, as they simply exhibit a classic “mother knows best” attitude in spirit of love and care for her child. In her letter to her son, Abigail Adams uses parental glorification, an appeal to the importance of knowledge, and an appeal to pride in one’s country in order to advise her son toward acts of her will. Abigail is well aware of the heavy regard for herself that she has bred into John, and thus uses this pre-established respect to heighten her own position to inform him.

I also think that however different individual fathers may be all share one powerful, vital aspect: The love for their child. Even though a 16th century father would be very different to a modern father, I should think that both possess this quality of love. Prospero seems a loving man, dedicated to his daughter, Miranda and would give anything to make her happy. When telling Miranda about her past, Prospero describes her as a “Cheribin” that made him truly happy. In dark, dreary times it was Miranda, who kept Prospero going, she did “Preserve” him.
