Stupidity

The short story, “To Build a Fire”, is about a man who is traveling through the Yukon to meet his boys at the camp on Henderson Creek. The man decides to ignore a local man’s advice about not traveling alone during the harsh winter, and his ignorance cost him his life. Personally, I strongly dislike the main character because he is extremely bland and overconfident. The main character doesn’t show any emotion about what he is feeling or what is actually going through his mind. I guess this could…

war. It was not fair to Germany how they did not really have a say on what went on in with the Treaty of Versailles. Germany should have known this was going to happen to them. They caused many men to become hurt, and even be killed by their own stupidity. Using the Schliffen Plan might of been good on their part,but in reality that was not a very good move for them. Continuing on and looking at Europe. Europe was destroyed and that should all be put on Germany's shoulders for that because…

I was told I was a member. UPON ACCEPTANCE, INTERNALLY I frowned, unable to comprehend what I had done to mark my incompetence. Eventually, I rationalized that if so many people saw I belonged in this community, I must have been blind to my own stupidity.…

"Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever" (Aristophanes). This quote is telling us that as you grow up you learn right from wrong, but you won’t always use your brain. There will be times when you don’t think things all the way out and you will eventually make a bad decision. You just have to get over it and try not make the mistake again. Not only do you need to avoid making the same mistake, but you also need to try to…

The friar, a character often viewed as the supportive mentor of Romeo and Juliet, is actually guilty of manslaughter. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, two teenage lovers struggle through a series of conflicting circumstances and unfortunate events that ultimately lead to their dramatic deaths. The conflicting circumstances are inevitably caused by a tradition of family rivalry, but the unfortunate events are created and tangled up by none other than Friar Lawrence, who is supposed to be a…

on—distracted, lost in thought— and forgot to attend to those who suffered far away, nearby. Forgive me, faith, for never having any. I did not believe in God, who eluded me” (Edward Hirsch, “A Partial History of My Stupidity”). This was a section from Edward’s poem, “A Partial History of My Stupidity”. This title and his experiences were funny, but they also made the reader feel his emotions during them and his deep feelings for those he should have helped but didn’t. As he explains his poem he…

land is also home to a three – dimensional chess board of seemingly endless war – American drones killing the Taliban; Sunni Muslims bombing Shia Muslims; and an underground, generations old fight for independence from the central government. The “Stupidity” from Nabokov’s quote is bespoken in novel by radicalized Sunni Muslims, terminating in a dramatic scene involving one of the brother near the novel’s end (Bhutto, 2010). “Oppression” and “Crime” are on view in the investigation of the…

Martin Luther King, Jr. is correct in his statement. Ignorance and stupidity have led to the downfall of many societies. It is from scientific racism and social Darwinism that these ideas have risen, where people’s decisions and views were influenced by pseudo-scientific ideas of there being a superior and inferior race. These false allegations were followed by suffering and oppression. It is this oppression that urged change within society. Change was initiated by many passive protests. In…

and sometimes hurts animals and people by accident. Even though lennie is a huge man has the ideology and brain of a 8 year old. Other characters like george and candy know how he is a good person but they still call him dumb and stupid. It is his stupidity that drives the plot towards the conclusion. Lennie has a hard time remembering things and freaks out during stress. This is why when his aunt clara gives him mice to pet he always accidently kills them. Lennie likes to touch soft things…
