Pretty much‚ the Guy Code means that you never show your feelings‚ be strong‚ and never give up. All in all‚ don’t be a sissy. You should never show emotions or admit to weakness. To the world‚ you must show that there’s nothing to be concerned about and that everything is going to be fine. In my opinion‚ I would have to say that this is also

    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

    Patrick Mesamour 8/12/12 Adversity Essay Adversity helps us to exist‚ without it we would never know ones true talents. I agree with Horace’s assertion about the role that adversity plays in developing a person’s character. Adversity happens to everyone‚ from people struggling to hold on‚ to high protected politicians. When people face adversities ones true character is revealed‚ adversities demand a reaction‚ makes you determined to overcome‚ and you have to survive them. When it comes down

    Horace Miner Response Horace Miner’s essay "Body Ritual Among The Nacirema" is deeper then a clever critique of the absurdities of the American culture. Other then mocking the science of anthropology‚ Miner shows how an outsider would view America. This sight would not be much different from an American viewing an uncivilized village in the middle of the forest. Miner’s essay extensively proves that the culture of America is not very different then many other civilizations. The perspective
