Living In The World Depicted In Aesop's Fables

"Soon some have set off in pursuit of the fox,/" (3.1699). The fox, in many legends and fables, is known to be wily and cunning. On the third hunt, as the huntsmen pursue the fox, they call him a thief. "Here he was hailed, when huntsmen men him;/ Yonder they yelled at him, yapping and snarling;/ There they cried ‘Thief!' and threatened his life,/" (3.1723-25). They hunt him vigorously.

The father in the story was a fox farmer. He raised foxes and would skin them and sold their pelts for to provide for the family. While growing up, she sought for attention from her father and began to enjoy working with her father with the foxes. Even though her father did not talk to her unless it was about the job they were doing she still enjoy the time spent with her

Homer’s epic poem, “The Odyssey” reveals many aspects of ancient Greek life and culture through character and plot. Through each of the tales circling the life of Odysseus and the Greek people, Homer depicts the history, legends, values, and merits of the ancient Greeks. Greek culture is known to be one of the most flavored and thorough in history, and each facet of it—from religion to ideology to mentalities and beliefs.

the world isn’t always a beautiful place and the people in it have a dark side that isn’t pretty.

Just as humanity has always seen itself as “an orphan bereft of family”, Mesopotamians believed that humanity differed from animals and the supernatural and could not be placed into either of those classifications (Harari 11). Humans were granted more knowledge than animals and the ability to understand the world around them, but for some aspects, were unable to do anything about it. As Benjamin Foster writes in his “The Person in Mesopotamian Thought”, “human beings unlike animals [had to] learn to live with the advance knowledge that they will die, though without knowing when or how” (Foster 118). Gods and demons, on the other hand, were incapable of dying, but animals were unaware of their inevitable deaths. However, the reconciliation of that inevitability was not always easy for humans. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh tries to find a fountain of youth following the death of his best friend, Enkidu, but was unsuccessful as it did not exist for mortals. Unlike animals and demons, humans were expected to live with justice (Foster 118). Nature does not exhibit justice, as biologically, organisms are not endowed with rights like life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness (Harari 97).

When there are ‘bad’ people doing evil things in the world, we are often surprised because it is hard to believe that someone can be so awful, being that most people of the world are so kind and warm hearted. That being said, we do not want to believe our eyes when awful people decide to terrorize the world. We just can’t understand how some people can be so cruel, so we are always very surprised when ‘bad’ people do evil things in the world.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover”, have you ever heard that saying? The world is perceived by many different people with different mindsets. Each one thinking differently than the other. The world is perceived in many different ways. Scary, happy, sad, any possible emotion you can think of.

Living in a world of political, economic, and social turmoil, we can never have the luxury of certainty. So as to say, one can never truly trust another, because we can’t look inside someone and see their true intent. If we could, however, look inside another, and we were able to see if that specific person would ultimately be someone we wouldn’t want to associate ourselves with, we would likely go to great lengths to avoid a relationship with said person. Bassist for renowned pop band The Beatles, Paul McCartney, best sums up this idea with a metaphorical quote, “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarians.”

Thank you for your insights and questions. Yes, you are right that we can connect it with these spheres. As for the arguments of Aeschines over Timarchus, Aeschines’ attacks were reflecting a public sphere that, that is, the Greek society was not accepting a job that was selling one’s body in return of making money. Yes, according to the public sphere, it was not nice, but on the other hand, Aeschines’ claims were just allegations. As for the metics’ life in the Athens, it was not so complex that most of them got the chance to work in Athens, and so they paid taxes, and some of them joined the Athenian army to fight, and maybe they wanted to sacrifice their lives in return of making some money, some jobs, and maybe a little more rights

The world is filled with hatred,politics,racism and much

In today 's society, “people are closed minded,” and do not take the opportunity getting to know the other person because of stereotyping and racism. Even though we all have different opinions toward other cultures, norms, beliefs and values we should all respect each other differences. We should consider learning from one another and not judge a person based on their race, ethnicity, gender and religion. As a society, it is very important; we educated ourselves in other cultures, even though we all have different values and beliefs.

It's not world it's the people , as life goes on we are the demons , a monster, never taught how to love. Use to pain hearing gun shots, girls never asked to be raped just wanted to be loved.wanted be excepted but all they get

This is the eleventh time to write the thoughts of the Aesop's Fables. It is nearly drawing to a close of this book and it also become more difficult than before. This week's thirty stories are short but difficult to understand.

My supporting details for my claim is In ¨The Swollen Fox¨ the fox was stealing the shepherds food in the tree.In the fable ¨The Wolf In Sheep´s Clothing¨ the wolf stole the sheep´s fur and he was stealing a different sheep to eat it.These two parts of the story after they have a negative consequence on them selves.That is one supporting detail that I had.

Also, truth is not always good to say. If the objective of telling the truth is to hurt someone, then it is considered to be inferior to a most terrible lie. For that reason, while speaking the truth we should keep in mind that it doesn't hurt someone else’s feelings or relations. The problem we face is that, we feel the urge to tell the truth when we see it. But, we should try to accomplish this without disapproving condemnations that hurt others. So when we freely express harsh judgment of another, we are in fact talking about those negative qualities of ourselves that trouble us the most.
