HUBRIS

I have been guilty of hubris in a couple different situations. One time, I got a good grade on a test and said i was the smartest man on the face of the Earth. I committed hubris because other people are a lot smarter than me, like people who go to Harvard and Princeton. Also, I have not even graduated from high school, so my intelligence has not even got to the highest it could be. I was being very arrogant with my comment, so I was guilty of hubris.

Of Mice and Men

There are two men that we are introduced to in this story. One is a tall strong man who is not very smart. he forgets everything that his friend tells him. His name is Lenny. His friend George is short and quick. He is smarter than Lenny and has a plan that they are going to work on a farm together. By the relationship these characters have in this story i assume that they are brothers. George is the older brother of Lenny and always looks out for him.

Pandoras box

1. 1. What was "foreboding? How would it have changed our society, according to Greek myths?

 Foreboding was knowing what misfortune would happen next every day so you would always live in fear and know what would happen to you next which would lead to the end of the world.The world was lucky in that Pandora did not release "foreboding" from the box Hermes gave her.

2.hoose another "ill" in the box and write about how the world would be different had Pandora not released it.

Choose another "ill" in the box and write about how the world would be different had Pandora not released it.

Another "ill" that flew out of the box was old age. If she did not release it then no one would grow old or die. That would seem good at first until the world became over populated which would lead to famine, which Pandora also released from the box.
