The difference in “The odyssey” and “Iliad” is the level of interference of the gods. In the novel “Iliad”‚ the gods were more actively involved in the affairs of mortals than they were in the Odyssey. There were numerous occasions where they actually took human form so they could go out onto the battlefield to support the humans. For example: in the third book of the novel “Iliad”‚ a truce is made so that Menelaus and Paris can meet in single combat‚ and the winner will take Helen and all her treasures

I realized that the author may have hit on something that many Christians may be guilty of but are not even aware of it. Many who go through their devotion fail to experience love which is right at the center of any TRUE devotion with God. The author clearly spelled out the difference between devotion and self-examination

Laura Schneider Sociology 1 The City of God After watching “The City of God”‚ I personally can see the correlation that crime plays in association with poverty‚ social influence‚ and lack of law and order. Though my perspective vastly varies from that of sociological theorists‚ I think we can both conclude that this movie is an extreme representation as to what can occur when society shuns away disadvantaged youths to a place that lacks justice as well as ethical and moral responsibilities.

The blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet could be placed on many different people for many different reasons. Despite all of the characters actions from the play that lead to the young couple’s dreadful demise‚ the real blame should be placed on their society as a whole. The societal expectation of parents picking their child’s spouse at the time was the norm‚ but it wasn’t well thought out. If society at the time wasn’t so focused on the name attached to the person‚ their deaths would’ve been
