“sleazy” and with corruption. This was the type of argument that the Thinkery was known for, and the type that Strepsiades wanted to learn in order to go back on his debts. Another way the poet presented Socrates as dangerous to Athens was through his disbelief in the gods. Ancient Greece, especially Athens, was a society that relied heavily on its piety; religion was everything to the people, and life itself was based around it. During the conversation between Strepsiades and Socrates,…

Ratatouille is a modern classic that has…

My 1st car On October 18th, my family and I went to the Indianapolis zoo for too behind the scenes tours. We bought two different ones earlier that year and it sure was the highlight of fall break. I was really quite that morning. I usually am quite when I am mad at anyone really. I just shut down so I don’t say anything I will regret. “Katlynn, Hurry up” said my dad “I am downstairs! Bernie is the one who is still asleep” I replied “BERNIEEEEE!!!!” My dad yelled, Bernie finally got up.…

place for the players, so less likely to break immersion. The argument could be made that the players being out of costume and out of character would break immersion just as much, but the players are invaders to the gamespace already, so the suspension of disbelief is easier for the players to hold when it comes to each other. The moderator is knowledgeable about the gamespace and therefore, to the players,…

In her essay Jane Austen and John Keats: Negative capability, Romance and Reality, Beth Lau connects the two writers previously not commonly associated. Most comparisons of Austen and Romantic poets are with Wordsworth and Byron, as it is known she read their works.
