... was absolutely nothing that could harm Balder. Frigg, suspecting nothing, answered that there was just one thing: a small tree in the west that was called mistletoe, but she thought it was too small to ask for an oath. Loki immediately left for the west and returned with the mistletoe. He tricked Balder's blind twin brother Hod to shoot with a mistletoe fig. Not knowing what he did, Hod threw the fig, guided by Loki's aim, and Balder fell dead, pierced through the heart. While the gods were lamenting over Balder's death, Odin sent his other son Hermod to Hel, the goddess of death, to plead for Balder's return. Hel agreed to send Balder back to the land of the livin ...
... the children arrived at the jail to encounter several men confronting Atticus. At this time, Scout was quite unaware of what was happening, being totally oblivious to the threat the men posed to the safety of herself, Atticus, Jem and Dill. She was merely expecting an argument between the men and was eager to witness it. Her naivete becomes even more evident in her “talk” with Mr Cunningham. She began conversation to be polite, possibly to impress the adults present. As she was not encumbered by the knowledge of the impending danger, she talked freely with Mr Cunningham, the only man she knew in the group present. Unknowingly, Scout prompted Mr Cunningh ...
... not accept Horatio's opinion fully exxpresse his wilfully action. Facing challenge and overcome it is a good thing to do. if a person would not listen to accept others advice, eventhough a person is a smart enough would also lead himself to downfull. The second kind of person is the one that does not have self-confidence and opinion who always leads by someone's order. Laertes is a good example of the second person. He wants to have revenge for his father but all he does was listening or taking orders from the King Claudius. He never has his way or thoughts for the revenge, therefor, he becomes Claudius' dog. A hand to get rid of Hamlet. A person who does no ...

... way, the reader is drawn in as a spectator with no immediate defenses to contrary thought. Secondly, King continues his use of logos through careful definition of terms. He specifies, “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral low or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law” (54). By defining just and unjust laws, King enabled the rationalization of the breaking of some laws to enable his nonviolent campaign. By use of logos, King defends the justification of his demonstrations, while convincing others of the importance the demonstrations hold. From another angle, King effectively appeals to a diff ...
... in particular, those aspects of nature that touch most closely upon human life. This I think Macbeth attains. However, Aristotle adds a few conditions. According to Aristotle, a tragedy must have six parts: plot, character, diction, thought, spectacle, and song. Most important is the plot, the structure of the incidents. Tragedy is not an imitation of men, but of action and life. It is by men's actions that they acquire happiness or sadness. Aristotle stated, in response to Plato, that tragedy produces a healthful effect on the human character through a katharsis, a "proper purgation" of "pity and terror." A successful tragedy, then, exploits and appeals at the star ...
... because intellect is not very good at being compassionate, and compassion is generally not logical. This is one of the imposing factors within the psyche of Raskolnikov. Although Raskolnikov's compassion can be classified neatly under superego, morality principal. Intellect does not fit directly into opposition with it under id. Intellect would best be classified under ego, reality principal. The main job being to find a balance between id and superego. A very good example of this mediation, is after Raskolnikov gives money to Sonia. This is an extreme extension of his superego, the ego lets it slide by. But after Raskolnikov's ego or intellect analy ...

... relates the story to the doctor when she says, "Dr. Dudley, I'm afraid there's been an accident... Well, we just arrived here at Charley's house about ten minutes ago, and as we were getting out of our car, we suddenly heard this enormous... thud... It seemed Charley had tripped going up the stairs... no, wait, down the stairs. Down the stairs. But he's all right," (13). Finally, Chris manages to explain to the doctor that Charley had not really hurt himself in the first place and that she felt sorry to have bothered him at the theater. After hanging up the phone, the Gormans put Charley in the shower to wash off the blood, wrap a towel around his head to stop the ...
... whole truth”, and if voices from the world above do reach them, they believe it is the shadows speaking. In comparison of this to our government today, many similarities can be seen. Citizens of our nation today are often “blinded” from the truths that are presented before them. They live their lives from day to day just knowing and accepting what is being presented to them blindly and have no concept of the reality that lies behind what they are presented. Unless these people are freed and allowed to find the truth for themselves, this is the way that they will always live their life. Plato symbolizes this by suggesting that one of thes ...
