Examples Of Fools Rush

Decent Essays
Fools rush don't you think.if you were a fool you would rush at EVERYTHING but you can't rush anything. Fools rush is a lesson I discovered in aesop's fables and perseus because in aesop fables like the hungry fox he was very greedy for food when he found food left by the shepherds he was eating it so fast he couldn't stop and think it was like he was rushing it but he didn't knew when he was getting full he got so big that he could get out of the log but perseus shows it very clearly that you need patience in your life always.

One reason I chose this lesson fools rush because it makes a connection to the fables and the greek myths to the real world. Because in perseus didn't rush to kill the gorgon medusa if he would he would freeze

    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.

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 Hubris of Men Throughout the novel Into the Wild written by Jon Krakauer, a young man, Chris McCandless, is very knowledgeable, as shown by his success in school and his ability to get along with people and accomplish almost everything he puts his mind to. McCandless shows a lot of prideful ignorance throughout the novel and on his journey to Alaska which he is very underprepared for. Every character that goes out to commune in nature in this novel are men; although there have been female characters none of them have undergone similar adventures as Chris McCandless. Females are not mentioned throughout the novel because men have a natural allure to danger because their testosterone makes them more apt to making irrational decisions.…

    Subliminal perception works in sync with subliminal persuasion but both differ from each other. Subliminal perception is something that influences your thoughts, feelings, and/or actions. For example, it is when something is flashed in front of your eyes, for example at a movie theater, you see a quick commercial for Coca-Cola, it will subconsciously want something, and influence you to think that you need or want it. Subliminal perception could be something being presented to you in a way that influences your decision on something without you even realizing it happening. An example of subliminal persuasion would be, if you’re at at a movie theater waiting for the movie to start and you see a Coca-Cola commercial come on, it will automatically…

    I refrain from making hasty decisions, a trait that’s made it easier to manage time and keep my life organized. It’s not that I don’t enjoy some spontaneity, just that I’ve had experience with faulty planning. I like to consider as many details and possible outcomes of a situation before making a decision; in fact, I believe it’s my best characteristic. Thinking things through allows me to make sound, satisfying choices in both my academic and social life. It is a practice that has saved me from careless mistakes on math tests and kept my activities.…
