The same could be said for humor that is written and humor that is acted out on stage right in front of you; one is grey the other has color. It was surprising‚ however‚ that after reading Bill Bryson’s collection of newspaper columns I’m a Stranger Here Myself‚ and watching Seinfeld’s I’m Telling you for the

Bobby J. Alexander Given the context of the speech‚ do you believe everything Pericles say’s about Athens in the Funeral Oration? Why or Why not. I feel that given the context of the speech‚ I would have to agree with what Pericles said in it to be true. First of all‚ I think that the way Pericles gives praise to his fallen comrades‚ couldn’t have been said any better.
