Creon believed that he was arête because as he puts it, "...I have the throne, all royal power..." leading a reader to believe that he is arrogant as well as in belief that he is an excellent leader. Arête means excellence of any kind and that "excellence has Creon written all over it. Creon feels as though he was arête, or excellent, because he created laws and decrees in which challenged the gods, or caused hubris, and in turn saw no consequence for his actions until it was too late. Creon challenges the gods by refusing to bury Polynices, calling all of his advisors idiots, and by not listening to the warnings given to him.

In the book “I Beat The Odds” by Michael Oher, i was inspired by one important quote. On inspiring quote is on page 69 It states “”it's better to build boys than build men””.

Hi Carrie! I agree that the message of morals is largely apparent in this story, and this reminded me of a quote "Who is more wicked: he who kills evil, or he who protects them" (S. Jackson). I liked how you pointed out how the pointed out how Captian Torres' quote of killing not being easy. My question is, if Captain Torres knew that the barber was a rebel informat, why did he put himself in that vulnerable position? In the story the author points out that Captain Torres has ordered executions in the past, and pointed out how hard it is to do so. My take on the matter is that the Captain wants to be punished for what he's done and has given the right to judge him to the barber, someone who has personallly seen what he's done and stands on

In Chance the Rapper’s song, Same Drugs, he reminisces about one of his past relationships that sadly has come to an end due to them growing apart and no longer sharing the same interests. Chance’s purpose was to express that he was heartbroken by this breakup and wishes that they hadn’t grown apart. He employs a sentimental tone in order to convey to his audience that he truly misses their relationship. Chance the Rapper achieves this sentimental tone through the use of repetition, allusions, and symbolism.

The author uses ethos to appeal to the readers through point of view since the author is a male and he is discussing characteristics of males. The author starts off with a connotation of the word manhood: “stupid, behavioural patterns that can produce unfortunate results such as violent crime, war, spitting and ice hockey” (page 940, second paragraph). This is significant because it links to some stereotypes related to men that the author may have experience or seen. Men are often seen as being more aggressive and violent than women. The narration of this essay is written in first person point of view which works hand in hand with the subjective description also being used and lets the readers see males through the author’s perspective. Connotation,

I like the quote "Expect to be called a stand patter, but don’t be a stand patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but don’t be a demagogue" by Calvin Coolidge in the speech. It might have a totally different meaning to others; but to me, it means to be what people say we are. It is a common problem that govern most people in the world today. While chatting with my friends a few weeks ago, Karly, my best friend asked me "Temmy, am I smart?

While reading Go Ask Alice there were a few quotes that stood out to me. The first quote says “How is it possible for me to be so miserable and embarrassed and humiliated and beaten and sill function, still talk and smile and concentrate” (Sparks 2).

These disorders took over my life and it was hard to try and fight my way out of it and continue living a normal life.
