    Horace Adversity

    Adversity plays a major role in developing and shaping a person’s character. I have found that this is not only a common theme in stories but also in real life as well. In the words of the Roman poet Horace: “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” This is repetitive in human history‚ today as well as hundreds of years ago. In a civilization‚ the upper class of a community would have different values than the lower class due to the

    Horace - Adversity

    • 523 Words
    • 3 Pages

    What I believe that Horace is trying to say through “Adversity has the effect of electing talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant” is that challenges bring about innate talents in individuals which would have otherwise been undiscovered. Through personal experiences and the novel “The Scarlet Letter” I can certainly justify why this quote is not completely accurate. Adversity is merely a stimulant‚ but a person’s own character is what drives him to be successful. One of

    Comparing the Nacirema culture to what I know to be considered "normal" from living in the United States my entire life gives you a whole new aspect of thinking towards why others act and feel the way that they do. One comparable thing is that everyone‚ no matter your culture or who you are‚ has a focus of concern towards their own appearance and health. The Nacirema culture is different in this aspect by the way they go about their concerns of their appearance and health‚ which I am sure the majority

The Nacierma is a North American Group living in the territory between the Canadian Cree‚ the Yaqui and Tarahumare of Mexico.
