    Horace Adversity

    • 3 Pages

    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

    • 2 Pages

    At first I wasn’t too surprised by the behavior of the Nacirema. Medicine men making potions and priests making sure water is holy are all things that I have heard about before.

    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
