the story because without him the story wound not be a story.If Dally had said yes, Johnny would have gone back to the church without hesitation.

logically. Some could argue that he should not have killed Caesar based off of a fear that could not be proven. No one can see into the future. No one had any way of knowing exactly how Caesar would behave in the future. But in my opinion, it was better to stop Caesar before he had the chance to act negatively. Brutus spoke about this in act 2: "And therefore think him as a serpent's egg Which, hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous,And kill him in the shell." The worst thing that could've happened

eerie because the narrator is talking about an evil eye and then he goes on to say how he watches the old man late at night for hours, just looking at his eye, studying him, and not saying a word. At the beginning of the story, the narrator questions his sanity, saying "...why will you say I am man? (39)" For him to come out and say this statement, I feel everyone has seen him as an insane person, because people believe that it is impossible to kill your rich and wealthy master just because of his

Nelson Mandela once said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” In Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, the author writes about how Rikki-tikki had the courage to stand up to his feared enemy while defending his family members and friends. The theme of the fictional story by Rudyard Kipling is that people (or animals, in this case) are willing to do anything to protect those they love. Rikki-tikki

it is no wonder he is so depressed. His depression, however, does not prevent him from achieving revenge, nor does it stop him from being a very poetic and inspiring person.

a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this, have a nice day.” That was a quote from Meg in the movie. She was trying to be independent when she was talking to Hercules. One cultural difference between the movie and the myth is the family values they have. In the myth Zeus has many wives and the movie depicts him only having one wife. Disney probably did that because the movie was mainly meant for children and that’s why it’s rated G. Also in the myth Heracles killed his children, but in the movie
