George does not care about Lennie’s situation and he trust in him as Lennie trust in George. In chapter four, the George says, “A guy needs somebody-to be near him” shows that people need other people to be strong and take better decisions. No matter who is that person and how smart is he or she. George does not care about who Lennie is and he considered Lennie his friend, showing that intelligence is not everything. All Lennie actions show his innocence.
I don’t think he is a good man just because he trying to fix what he did, but the thing is that what has happened, happened and you can’t change that. Yes he is trying fixing it but I wouldn’t call him a good man because of his actions. The actions are what make the people either good people or bad people. In Antigone there are both bad and good people. In Teirsias’s mind he would probably say they were all good people because when they did something wrong they tried to fix it.
Americans are dumb; dumb, as in lacking a good education. Moore says, “I used to console myself about the state of stupidity in this country by repeating this to myself: Even if there are two hundred million stone-cold idiots in this country, that leaves at least eighty million who'll get what I'm saying…” (p. ___) Just a few short paragraphs later, however, Moore shows his admiration for the potential of our intellect. We are not stupid, after all. According to Moore now, we are actually “…geniuses.” ( p. ___) Paraphrasing one of the heroes of the left, Noam Chomsky, Moore says “… that if you want proof the American people aren't stupid, just turn on any sports talk radio show and listen to the incredible retention of facts. It is amazing-and it's proof that the American mind is
He quickly grows a negative view upon humanity. “My soul glowed with love and humanity: but am I not alone, miserably alone?" The monster was able to create this bond initially with humanity, which they couldn’t make it with him. So morally what makes him any less human. This could represent Shelley’s view that man in the religious times, rejects something who’s characteristics do not fit gods standards.
This shows disloyalty towards his people who are very loyal to him. Through these points, it is evident that Odysseus lacks the necessary traits of a true hero. Superficially, his victories and valor make him seem as though he is heroic. Yet, the underlying issue is that Odysseus tends to be selfish, disloyal and cowardly. By the end of his journey the many occurrences of his flaws outshine his perceived heroic qualities.
He likes to believe he is right and enjoys the feeling of being superior in his theories and thoughts against those of other people. We see it a lot with his lies and deceits. He doesn’t ever give up on his lies even when people are skeptical because he wants to believe he is right and they are wrong. For example when he was at the Grangerfold household, he was almost caught forgetting his own name, but with his sharp wit he turns it around and asks for it to be spelled for him. He didn’t want to be noticed for lying and told he was wrong.
Quote 3: People who are always mad, sad, or disappointed, are always the ones who are not going to help others prosper. “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.” The Author wanted readers to hear him not literally hear him, but to hear him in his context. I heard him saying that doing for others makes you feel better of yourself and who you are as a person. Helping people is what life is for so that’s what he wants readers to
Creon is the only person who fits the qualifications. He is of nobility. His pride causes an error in his judgment. He was being arrogant and ignorant. The death of his son and his wife exceeds his mistakes.
In the beginning of the text, Edmundson depicts a classroom he particularly doesn’t enjoy on evaluation day. He explains he is fearful of the students will think of him but also states that he often gets good reviews; just not the types of answers he wants. He admits that he dislikes the image of himself emerges from the
By persecuting his father is piety. But Socrates discards his definition because it is in fact not a definition but rather an example. It does not give reason on why things are pious. So, Euthyphro rebounds by claiming piety is what is pleasing to the gods. He says that “ The things and the men that are pleasing to the gods are pious, and the things and the men that are displeasing to the gods are impious.” Socrates approves of this definition because it is of a very generalization.
