Women? s Roles in Aeschylus and Euripides Due to
the fact of similarities between authors writing
in the same place and time, we often make the
mistake of presuming their viewpoints are
identical on the given subject. It would be a
mistake to expect Aeschylus? Agamemnon and
Euripides? Medea to express identical views on the
subject; each author had a unique way. The
opinions of these two writers on this subject are
actually different. Aeschylus? plays revolved
around ethics, and commonly he pres...

Analogies And Metaphors Deductive Logic Plato
557 words
Many works of literature provide responses to much
debated topics. Opinions are brought forth by
means of rhetorical devices and supported by some
type of accepted truth. In two such pieces, The
Republic by Plato and A Defense of Poetry by
Shelley, Plato expresses a belief about poetry
that Shelley disagrees with and responds to.
Through rhetorical devices such as metaphors and
symbolism and the use of deductive logic and
Socratic writing, Plato provides a strong, very
supported argument while S...

Leopold Brent Dozier Although Leopold? s love of
great expanses of wilderness is readily apparent,
his book does not cry out in defense of particular
tracts of land about to go under the axe or plow,
but rather deals with the minutiae, the details,
of often unnoticed plants and animals, all the
little things that, in our ignorance, we have left
out of our managed acreages but which must be
present to add up to balanced ecosystems and a

School Year School Day

I really do not think that the U. S. (United
States) school year or school day should be
changed for the fact that it would take quality
time away from their parents and tradition away
from what the people know. Quality time is the
most important between a parent and a child. If
the person who makes the decision to make the
school year longer or school day longer goes
through, then there will be a lot of upset parents

Obi Wan Kenobi Desire To Leave

The broken globe by Henry Kreisel tells the story
of a father and a son torn apart by their
differing views of the world. Another story which

Star Wars, Luke Skywalker, a young fanboy on a
backwater world, receives a light sabre from Obi
Wan Kenobi, this inspires an urge to leave his
world and learn to be a Jedi. One of the conflicts

significant events on the prehistoric calendar.
Others claim that it was a sacred site for the
burial of high-ranking citizens from the societies
of long ago. While we cant say with any degree of
