I felt empathy for Daphne when she was bullied into agreement by Arnetta and used as the rallying point for the other…

For example, Osgood hits on Daphne for the first time because he obviously is attracted to her looks, though when Daphne continues to reject his advances and let her personality shine through, Osgood sees that Daphne is more than just a dame and is someone he wants to hold onto for longer than just one night. His idea of the person he fell in love with upon seeing her that first time is significantly different from the (wo)man she turned out to be; in a way, this could still be interpreted to be…

The story “Ceyx and Alcyone” it tells of a loving couple named Ceyx and Alcyone who promised to never part each other, until one day Ceyx left on a journey where he died. Each day Alcyone knit him a robe, but became hopeless and prayed to the dream Gods for the truth, where she saw his death.

with Laurel, her brownie troop, and the Mennonites. Throughout the story, Laurel notices even the tiniest of Daphne’s actions that set her apart from the rest of the troop. During the bus ride home while all of the girls are making fun of troop 909, Daphne looks down at her feet (Packer 25). This action is a sign that she does not wish to be…

giving prophecies. Another myth of Apollo has to do with Apollo and Daphne. “When Apollo saw Daphne for the first time, he got struck by the arrows of Eros and madly fell in love with her” (Greek God Apollo Myths). However, Daphne did not like Apollo and therefore tried to escape. Apollo did not give up though. Daphne ended up asking Gaea to make her disappear from the earth to escape Apollo.

People usually decide what stories they think are worth retelling to their children, with these stories strangers can figure out what that culture valued. The stories of the two Greek figures Apollo and Utnapishtim demonstrate decision-making and their aftershocks. The Story of Apollo’s tree shows that if you brag then you will suffer the consequences and Utnapishtim’s story of the great flood shows that if you are kind and courteous…
