“Women should not venture out with men who are not relatives” (Indian politician Abu Azmi on increased incidences of rapes in India). “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways of shutting that whole thing down” (Todd Akin, Republican representative from Missouri). “If it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it” (Clayton Williams, Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate in 1990). These are the words that swim through girls minds like vicious sharks ripping at our strength. We grow up hearing

nothing less, therefore a person should not feel envious of those who have more, nor shall they fall to the temptations of obtaining “better” than what they have already been given. This matches well with stoicism, because Epictetus says, in order for a man to be truly free, he must first “extinguish his desire for all things, including life itself” (Pg.1 Epictetus). Both of these beliefs, in the end, are stating that for one to find a life of happiness, they must first give up all that worries and consumes

with Brett but sends a wire to inform Cohn about Brett’s presence. This did not bother Cohn, so Jake and Brett board a train to meet Cohn. The train is full of pilgrims, which forces them to bribe the conductor to bring them food so that they could eat at a decent time. They met a young american family and chat with them for a little while before the family left to change trains. Later at the correct station, Cohn was waiting for the two men.

The entire expedition takes about ten years, and over those years he faces many dilemmas, and meets many women who are portrayed in various different ways. An examination of The Odyssey will reveal

can only hear silence. I see couples getting into a restaurant, order, check their smartphones, eat, and I wonder why they do not look up, face each other and genuinely communicate. What I perceive, are men and women living not with, but next to each other. This is exactly what I imagined when I read Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants”.

Timidly, I walked over to the table and sat down across from her. “Quit slouching,” Becky scolded. “You got to stand straight and tall to rule this family. If they see weakness, they whittle you down until they can dig at your innards and disembowel you.” Instantly, I was erect in

Ay, in Corvino, and such earth-fed minds, That never tasted the true heaven of love. Assure thee, Celia, he that would sell thee, Only for hope of gain, and that uncertain, He would have sold his part of Paradise For ready money, had he met a cope-man. Why art thou mazed to see me thus revived? Rather applaud thy beauty's miracle; 'Tis thy great work: that hath, not now alone, But sundry times raised me, in several shapes, And, but this morning, like a mountebank; To see thee: ay, before I would

The main character was irritated with this woman, you can tell by the way he started to curse; in a negative way. Words like: "Shit," and "Fucking" was said towards people or objects. Same as the external reaction the main character was ticked off towards this lady's ignorance. It was hidden rage;
