What is Tolstoy’s opinion of violence? Is he repelled by it‚ or does he admire it? In Hadji Murat‚ does he glamorize violence or criticize it? Does the novel moralize about violence or does it take an objective approach? Tolstoy definitely is repelled by violence‚ in every opportunity he has to expose a battle or a conflict he does it in a very anticlimactic approach‚ very much so like real life. There is nothing heroic about violence and the destruction it leaves behind. According to Bayley

Once everyone has voted‚ the elector votes for a candidate based on the votes of the people. There are anywhere from three to about 55 electors per state. I believe this system should be replaced with the popular vote method. One of reasons I believe

intended to do good‚ he portrayed himself as being almost invincible. By telling people that he was better than everyone else‚ for instance‚ the story about the time that he and a swimmer competed against each other and Beowulf supposedly “lost” only because he wound up having to save the competitor. This story he told to people is one example of how he tried to convince people that he was better than he was‚ and superior to other people. Unfortunately because of his pride‚ he was killed during his fight

diagnosed with a concussion‚ in order for Plevretes to get back on the field as soon as possible‚ he should have been checked out and kept on a regular check up schedule to monitor the progress of his concussion; neither of which was done.

Dangerous Dogs...to be or not to be banned. My opinion on the issue of dangerous dogs is they shouldn’t be banned because of these reasons. I think that these so called ‘dangerous breeds’ shouldn’t be banned because it is only a few individuals from those breeds that are attacking. What about the families out there that own a very tame and gentle pit-bull that they have had in their family for a long time and have had no problems? Do you really want to take away that families treasured pet? It would
