As the Athenians continue to expand their Aegean Empire‚ they come into contact with the island of Melos‚ an isolated colony of Sparta. The Athenian generals send representatives to negotiate with the Melians rather than immediately using sheer military force to conquer them. In the resulting dialogue‚ Thucydides manages to

Socratic Dialogue Reflection During the Socratic dialogue there were many interesting questions brought to my attention. Overall I really enjoyed the chance to argue with my classmates about topics. One of these questions was; is Feynman’s idea that science is a widely excepted idea? The most interesting and largely debated question asked; if you can prove there are atoms and molecules but you cant prove there is a God‚ why would you believe in God and not Evolution?

Humility and Dialogue Rubi Garza Texas A&M International University Freire (2002) comes to see humility as something essential in order for dialogue to exist.

everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him ...” (Psalm 103: 15-17) HOPE – ESSENTIAL AND ABUNDANT PETER STORK Abstract: This essay reflects on the necessity of hope for human existence. It then describes the nature‚ limits and pathology of human hope before comparing and contrasting it with Christian hope. I argue that the Gospel subverts and redemptively transforms the human condition through the abundant hope available by faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. INTRODUCTION

story is carried out on the shoulders of the dialogue. Here‚ a writer who writes in many mediums needs to note that a dialogue in a short story or a novel tends to be quite different from the story told on stage or screen. Stage and screenplay dialogue has to fit the tone and the pacing of the entire work‚ and it must be written in a way that it can be uttered much more easily when compared to the dialogue in a story or a novel.
