Q1: The argument suggests courage be defined based on, the actions of an individual and the situation they are placed in. Someone could be put into the same situation and act on the situation differently based on experience, knowledge, desperation, and the meaning of the action or situation to an individual.(192c1-3-192d7) Someone with more knowledge will act more accordingly to a difficult situation if they know what their chances are in succeeding in that action or the consequences attempting it. Courage is a representation of bravery. If someone stands up for something not only to benefit them but to
Socrates and the Apology Some of the best sources of information about Socrates' philosophical views are the early dialogues of his student Plato, who tried to provide a faithful picture of the methods and teachings of the great master. The Apology is one of the many recorded dialogues about Socrates. It is about how Socrates was arrested and charged with corrupting the youth, believing in no god(s) (Atheism) and for being a Sophist. He attended his trial and put up a good argument. I believe that Socrates was wrongfully accused and should not have been sentenced to death.
Pride is at the root of nearly every problem man struggles to solve. The prideful hold the inability to be guilty, which makes them undeserving of forgiveness. The proud’s ignorance turns them into an incriminating character, while the modest remain good. The modest recognize their mistakes for the reason that they want self-improvement. Personal growth and self-improvement are crucial to maximize one’s own potential.
Fox is the master of deception. With his brave demeanor and smooth way or talking, he is able to make Lady Mary fall in love with him and disregard all of her other lovers. He was able to transform himself into a different man around Lady Mary. Around her, he was gentle, caring, and sweet. However, when he was alone he was a violent man. Chopping off the woman's hand was an extremely violent reaction to not being able to take the ring off of her finger; as was leaving the walls covered in the blood of the deceased women. It is unclear whether or not Mr. Fox would have made Lady Mary one of his victims, but there is no doubt that he would one day begin to show his true self. Unlike Mr. Fox, Bluebeard does not trick his wives into marrying him with a false personality. In addition to that, he does not murder this women without reason. Once his wife proves that she cannot be trusted, she must be eliminated. Although this is a very extreme course of action, in his mind there is a basis for
In Fools Crow', Fools Crow is the central character. He is at a period in his life where he questions himself in a wistful daze about what he is; he wants to find out what his place is in this world and what is meaningful to him. He explores among his dedications to his people and among the potentials of breaking free and living a complete life without being interrogated by any one.
From the very beginning of the story, the fox is described as a demon at the Bailey Farm. The fox “carried off the hens under the very noses of March and Banford” (582) who take care of the farm. It seems like the fox is successful in avoiding March and Banford and “the fox really exasperated them both” (582). However, one evening, March sees the fox and he sees her. “She was spell-bound--she knew he knew her. So he looked into her eyes, and her soul failed her” (583). March get this strange feeling and she is confused. She does not shoot him. Instead, she “put her gun to her shoulder” and follows him. March walks after him and “in her heart she was determined to find him” (583).
Within the story the old man not only achieves his own enlightenment, but helps lead his present self towards it as well. This allows his present self to gain knowledge from the old man’s mistakes as well as adjust his own ways of thinking for the future. Since enlightenment “is not limited to conditions” one awaking can form a chain reaction to begin another (Tanahashi and Levitt 4). This means that even though the old man has found his own sense of enlightenment from his experiences, Master Baizhang can also gain from this enlightenment. If the purpose of the fox’s appearance was in fact to help Master Baizhang to make this realization, it is likely that teaching this lesson and passing along this information was always the underlying
... Now, though the Fox be punish'd by the laws, / He yet doth hope, there is no suff'ring due, / For any fact which he hath done 'gainst you; / If there be a censure him; here he doubtful stands. / If not, fare jovially, and clap your hands."
The fox is a master trickster. His image is synonymous with cleverness and wit. The fox has enough skill and tact to easily outmaneuver any competitor who dare challenge him. A fox can rely on intellect, resourcefulness, or skill, but in the end, if he becomes overconfident or loses focus, he will undoubtedly fail.
Aesop’s fables were written around 300 BCE, and originated from Greece (“Aesop par. 6). Although most of the fables are about animals, they display the characteristics of humans. Fables are usually short and easy to comprehend, and all fables have their own morals, however; some fables have more than one. Aesop’s fables may seem childish and pointless, but they were written to point out the flaws and strengths of human beings. Most fables have a central problem that the main character must solve, and have been very important to society as a whole.
A fox is one cunning animal. And in the story, it is proven to be right. From the fox's lesson that one can see only what is essential by looking with the heart, the author leaves the desert as a changed person. He agrees with the little prince's thought: 'the stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen';.
Philosophy can be defined as the pursuit of wisdom or the love of knowledge. Socrates, as one of the most well-known of the early philosophers, epitomizes the idea of a pursuer of wisdom as he travels about Athens searching for the true meaning of the word. Throughout Plato’s early writings, he and Socrates search for meanings of previously undefined concepts, such as truth, wisdom, and beauty. As Socrates is often used as a mouthpiece for Plato’s ideas about the world, one cannot be sure that they had the same agenda, but it seems as though they would both agree that dialogue was the best way to go about obtaining the definitions they sought. If two people begin on common ground in a conversation, as Socrates often tries to do, they are far more likely to be able to civilly come to a conclusion about a particular topic, or at least further their original concept.
