    Harrison Bergeron Compare/Contrast Essay

    All our lives we’ve been taught to follow the rules, but what happens when we don’t? In Greek mythology Icarus dares to face the sun and as a result fails to follow the rules of flying. Examples of the Icarus tales are Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” and the short story “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut. These authors tell the story of boys who pushed the limit which resulted in their deaths. By comparing the two stories, we can see how the plot, character, and message change from story to story and create new meanings over time.…

    The Importance Of Time In Truman Capote's In Cold Blood

    On the shores of a Mediterranean island, one man finds himself naked, afraid, and drained of his strength. This hero, Odysseus, makes his way to the palace of the royal family ruling the island of Scheria with the help of the lovely princess Nausicaa and his protector, Athena. After winning the favor of the king and queen as a mysterious guest and stranger, the king urges him to tell of his life and Odysseus gives in. As Odysseus tells of his travels in a flashback, he recounts his time at sea as if a bard were telling the story. This manipulation of time, similar to the approach used in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, helps the author or raconteur to devise a more complex and intriguing tale.…

    Rosa Parks Bold Actions

    Do you consider Rosa Parks bold action to be worth it? I believe that bold actions are worth the risk. People can affect many lives by taking bold actions. Rosa Parks for example, refused to give up her bus seat which caused the bus boycott, and that helped pass the civil rights act. If Rosa Parks had not done this then the civil rights act would have been delayed many years.…

    Compare And Contrast Hercules And Atalanta

    The tale of a hero is one of the most classic of stories, told in various forms throughout the ages. Every hero, classical and modern, has different strengths, weaknesses, and challenges that they demonstrate and face along the way, exhibiting traits that prove them a hero. While there is no doubt that the central figures of the Greek myths of Perseus, Hercules, and Atalanta are all heroes, Hercules, strong both in will and physically, stands as the best example of a classic hero. Heroes are not made without challenges, some of which they face early on in their journey. Hercules and Atalanta meet their first struggle as children, with the goddess Hera sending the former “two great snakes [that] came crawling into the nursery” (Hamilton 228), which Hercules promptly kills, and the latter being “left on a wild mountainside to die of cold and hunger” (Hamilton 246) by her father.…

    Compare And Contrast Oedipus And Creon

    Great rulers only come once in Greek lifetime. Oedipus and Creon were both good rulers for Thebes, yet at the same time were men tragic of ill created fates and downfall. Oedipus was swift with action and had courage that could last a life time, while Creon was simplistic in nature and had a good head on his shoulders. Both kings, however had character flaws of stubbornness, as one tried to change and outrun his fate, while the other could not see past his nose, unable to make the right changes at the right time. As both were unable to change their ways in time, it led to the end of their legacies, one with death, and another with a life of loneliness.…

    Sophocles’ Medea and Euripides’ Oedipus are both horribly tragic characters. They are similar characters in that they worsen their situations through pride, duty, and rage. However, they also vary drastically in terms of morality, fate, and sophistication. Sophocles’ Medea and Euripides’ Oedipus clearly define two opposing sides of Greek tragedy. First, Medea and Oedipus similarly elevate the severity of their predicaments through pride.…
