Epic Of Gilgamesh Adam And Eve
1,399 words
When children ask for privileges, adults try to
impress upon them the responsibilities that come
along with these privileges and the associated
freedoms. This is a difficult lesson to learn, and
is often learned through trial and error. This
relationship of privileges and responsibility is
much like that of wisdom and suffering; although
privileges and wisdom are great tools, they carry
with them many responsibilities, and the
possibility of suffering. Such relations are
extremely clear in both ...

Quot V Takes Responsibility
1,237 words
William Shakespeare presents an excellent leader
but a poor reasoner in Othello. The eponymous hero
has strength, charisma, and eloquence. Yet these
ideals of leadership do not bode well in real
world situations. The battlefield and Senate are,
at least in Othello, depicted as places of honor,
where men speak truly. In addition, the matters of
war and state are relatively simple; no one lies
to Othello, all seem to respect him. He never even
has to fight in the play, with the enemy
disappearing ...

Brave New World Escape From Reality

For centuries, science fiction writers have
thrilled and challenged readers with visions of
the future and future worlds. These authors
offered an insight into what they expected man,
society, and life to be like at some future time.

group of authors have tried to give readers a more
realistic interpretation of the direction mankind
is heading toward. One such author, Ray Bradbury,
