Fights For The Right Reasons Idea Of Hubris Lines
607 wordsWebsters dictionary defines a hero as one greatly regarded for his achievements or qualities. This is only a rough definition, and applies only somewhat to Beowulf. A hero is usually the main character; he is, according to Mr. Re, a man who fights for the right reasons, usually confident and possessed of superhuman abilities, at least as it applies to Beowulf's time period. Less common in that period in time is the idea of hubris, a fatal weakness on the part of every hero. Beowulf exhibits all ...

Terry Schiavo Feeding Tube Death
386 wordsThe time had come for the inevitable end of this story, this miserable lot of the last fifteen years for Terry Schiavo. Brain-damaged and rubber-boned, barely human anymore, Schiavo had the indignity of having her nerve-reflex smile paraded out every time the moment came close for her to have to sink or swim, to learn quickly to feed herself or starve.
