The Immortals

What is adventure? A reexamination The Epic of Gilgamesh The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the best Epic’s every written. Gilgamesh was a king with a lot of power. Before the story he was basically a tyrant to all his people. He was not a good king at the time before this Epic took place. Although plenty of things made him into a great man later in the story. I believe the most important segments of Gilgamesh is that it showed death can be a good thing in the early meeting with Enkidu, the…

conception of the soul, the conception of the soul seems to be based on the same foundation yet it differs in certain key ways. Looking at certain similarities, first I’m going to explain how in both texts the soul is immortal, then I will go on into explaining the meaning of the soul being immortal which is the theory of recollection, next I’ll be explaining about the structure of the soul since in the Phaedrus it’s present while in the Meno is not and I will also show that the…

conditions is that the person is identical to the individual and second the person’s life must be attractive to them. Personally, I disagree with the first condition and while I agree with the second condition I don’t think it is necessary for an immortal life to be good, still I completely disagree with Bernard Williams. William’s clause that an individual must still be oneself is not logical, since as Fischer says it's very different to lose oneself in an activity than to become someone…

Plato writes that Socrates believes that the soul is immortal, and I agree with him that it is. He talks about the immortality of the soul in Phaedo and in the Republic. He has multiple arguments for how and why it is immortal, and every one of them makes sense to me. Plato’s writings on the soul are fascinating to me. All of the arguments he has to prove that the soul is immortal make me really think, and in some cases gave me words to describe something I had already thought about. When…

bonus. Additionally, when the set of arms are described as “immortal”, it would appear that Thetis desires for the armor to provide Achilles with immortal life; however, she wants Achilles’ mortal death to amplify the attention that the immortal shield receives. Again, Thetis understands that her son is fated to die, so in preparation of this tragic event, she determines how the gods can most benefit. The gods who create the shield are immortal, not the owner, and therefore the shield, and any…

much of the plot centers around interactions between mortal humans and immortal gods. Odysseus is repeatedly visited and kidnapped by immortal women, and these interactions inform the plot and society immensely through their strong influence over his journey. The main tension for the female characters comes from the difference in power between gods and goddesses, as well as the difference in power between the mortal and immortal women. These variations in agency make Homer’s society seem…

his mistake. His last team, TSM, tried to turn Wildturtle into a more passive approach. When he came to Immortal, Adrian was the perfect fit for Wildturtle, he often plays supports who are good at shielding and healing, mainly Janna and Soraka. This allows Wildturtle to play to his fit, instead of trying to change his playstyle into one that is passive. The two…

capable of reason and that both can perfect themselves to have an immortal soul. During Wollstonecraft’s time, women were not allowed to exercise reason, rather, women were seen as wives and fools with spaniel-like affections (Wollstonecraft 35). By extending the rights of men to women, Wollstonecraft aimed at improving the situation for women by suggesting a revolution in women’s manners through education in order for women to have an immortal soul.…

compared to music that you might hear at a funeral. One quality of ‘My Immortal’ that qualifies it as such is its slow tempo. The tempo is one that puts the audience into deep thoughts and prayers, even. Further, the slow tempo helps the audience to become more aware of the scene, and hopefully, it will further dramatize the environment of the scene, bring notice the horrible crying and screaming in this scene. This melody in “My Immortal’ is repeated, creating a recurring theme, and the…
