“I have to leave in seven minutes” (Mafi 204). Juliette and Warner have been growing their relationship day by day in the training room and in each other’s arms. Adam is having a hard time coping with his so-called “love affair” because he is still in love with Juliette. I think Adam is having a hard time letting go of the girl he once met because she’s not the same person that he wants her to be. I don’t agree with the parts where Warner says he loves Juliette but doesn’t show it. The first piece of evidence that Warner doesn’t show his affection for Juliette is when Warner explodes in Juliette’s face while they’re talking in his office. “Go, ‘he says quietly.’ ‘I don’t want you to be here right now’” (Mafi 202). This confuses me because if you love someone don’t you want to spend time with them? Warner makes it sound like he doesn’t appreciate Juliette’s presence sometimes. He basically tells Juliette that by her not leaving, it’s making him lose his dignity. The last time I checked you don’t say that to someone you love. Last time Juliette checked that’s not …show more content…
Warner has been helping train Juliette for battle against the supreme commander. The plan is to beset Anderson from all sides and take him down once for all, so Juliette must learn to control her powers. Warner has a weird way of doing this though. He strictly keeps his relationship out of training. He acts like they have no connection during the training sessions because he wants her to focus. I understand how he wants her to focus on training but he’s pushing her away while doing it. He leaves her with instructions to follow but no communication. Juliette said in the book that he doesn’t like to talk much during the training sessions, and no one knows why. Warner’s always kept to himself until he met Juliette, which doesn’t make sense why he won’t talk to her. He basically asks her to punch him because he doesn’t know how else to talk to her around other
In The Return of the Secaucus Seven, while waiting for the others to arrive, a kerfuffle occurs between two of the individuals that were dating, Jeff and Maura, which is the end of their relationship. One of the friends, Irene, is bringing her new boyfriend and wonders if her long-term friends will accept him. As a representation this time period, relationships are highly focused on sex and sexual interactions. It is nonchalantly discussed and taken part, whereas previously these actions would have been absurd. Immature relationships and conversation between the characters are another representation of the carefree undertones in the movie.

was the accepted way of life in the Bronze Age, which is when Achilles lived.
Julia had betrayed the Party before she met Winston by being a member of the Junior Anti-Sex League but having sex whenever she pleased. After they found out that Mr. Charrington betrayed them, Julia and Winston promised to each other that they would not betray each other no matter what happened. When Winston asked about Julia during his torturing O’Brien said “ She betrayed you, Winston. Immediately--unreservedly. I have seldom seen anyone come over to us so promptly. You would hardly recognize her if you saw her. All her rebelliousness, her deceit, her folly, her dirty-mindedness--everything has been burned out of her. It was a perfect conversion, a textbook case. (Orwell, 214)” Julia broke her promise to Winston and gave up on him before she had even gone through half the torturing he did. After Winston and Julia both got out of Ministry of Love they ran into each other and discovered that neither of them still loved each other which proved that Julia truly did betray Winston because she said “Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn’t matter: only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you- that would be the real betrayal” (Orwell
The question "was Achilles' anger justified" brings up issues that seem to have little or no relevance to the war. In time of war I would expect the leaders to prioritize the groups interest for the sake of unity and cooperation rather than being entrenched in achieving their own personal goals. But my expectations are those of a modern day literature student, I'm inclined to think that the Greeks who first read this epic valued different things than myself. Another relevant question might be "were Achilles' actions justified". Anger can be easily justified, but the actions that anger might lead you to take are not as easily justified. Again I am not an ancient Greek and my opinions are irrelevant unless I open my mind to different viewpoints. Therefore I am striving to look into this issue through ancient Greek eyes where the principle of sacrificing ones own interests was apparently not valued, but maintaining ones honor, on the other hand, was greatly valued. In the following paragraphs I will attempt to answer these two aforementioned questions.
Let’s turn to Mel’s story. He gives a story of what happened in the hospital to show what true love is. A couple months ago, an old couple who had been in a car accident came into the hospital, Of course, they survived, but the man was badly injured. He is unable to turn his head after a car accident, he feels so unhappy, because he will never look at his wife again, who is just beside him.... ...
The Greeks placed great importance on personal honor. Why is this? Is it because to them man I nothing without honor. Or is it that the honor is more important than the man? "Honor to the Greeks is something that is won by a man's prowess, his ability to fight and be victorious on the battle field"(Schein 62). This is just one example of how honor is obtained. A second method of gaining honor is to be a great orator, one must posses the ability to speak in the assembly and express his ideas eloquently, and persuasively to the gathered body. A third way of achieving personal honor is to demonstrate athletic ability.
Winston will talk to Julia about things on his mind, but she will dismiss them by saying she is not interested or by completely ignoring him, but Winston doesn’t seem to mind. When thinking about the relationship between them, it seems that Winston has more feelings for Julia does. She’s only interested in the physical attraction and what that brings about. They speak of having a life together, but for Julia the feelings are stale and only
The first line of the Iliad describes a human emotion that leads to doom and destruction in Homer's poetic tale of the Trojan War. Achilles' rage is a major catalyst in the action in the Iliad. It is his rage that makes him both withdraw from and, later, rejoin the war with a fury. Why is Achilles enraged? Is his rage ignited solely by his human adversaries or do the gods destine him to the experience? Achilles' rage has many facets. His rage is a personal choice and, at times, is created by the gods.
In his classic work "Poetics" Aristotle provided a model of the tragic hero. According to Aristotle, the tragic hero is more admirable than the average person. This results in the tragic hero being admired by the audience. For the audience to accept a tragic ending as just, it is crucial that the tragic hero be responsible for their undoing. At the same time though, they must remain admired and respected. This is achieved by the tragic hero having a fatal flaw that leads to their undoing. One of literature's examples of the tragic hero is Achilles from Homer's The Iliad. However, Achilles is different from the classic tragic hero in one major way - his story does not end tragically. Unlike the usual tragic hero, Achilles is able to change, reverse his downfall, and actually prove himself as a true hero.
The Iliad, the Greek epic documented by Homer that describes the battles and events of the ten year siege on Troy by the Greek army. Both Trojans and Greeks had their fair share of heroes and warriors, but none could match the skill and strength of the swift runner, Achilles. Achilles had the attributes of a perfect warrior with his god-like speed and combat abilities. However, even though he was Greek’s greatest warrior, he still possessed several flaws that made him fit the role of the Tragic Hero impeccably. Defined by Aristotle, a Tragic Hero is someone who possesses a high status of nobility and greatness, but must have imperfections so that mere mortals cannot relate to the hero. Lastly, the Tragic Hero’s downfall must be partially their own fault through personal choice rather than by an evil act, while also appearing to be not entirely deserved of their unfortunate fate. Achilles is a true Tragic Hero because he withholds all of these traits. Achilles proves to be a good man that puts his loved ones first, reveals his tragic flaws of pride and anger, shows dynamic qualities as a character when his flaws are challenged, and has a moment of clarity at the end of his rage. Achilles truly exemplifies the qualities of a Tragic Hero.
She sees life in him and through his art, she is able to see G.P as someone just like her. She fantasizes about her life with him although he is 20 years older than her.

Miranda is attracted to him and sees him as her mentor in life. G.P. is a role model to Miranda because he shows her how to be free and express herself through art.

In Homer’s epic, the Iliad, the legendary, has no two characters that are so similar yet so different as Greek warrior, Achilles, and the Prince of Troy, Hector. Achilles is the strongest fighter in the Greek side, and Hector is the strongest Trojan. They are both put into the mold of a hero that their respective societies have put them into; however; it is evident that they are both extremely complex characters with different roles within their society and with their families, and with the gods.
