    According to Seneca‚ a Roman philosopher‚ “The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.” In other words‚ the boldest thing in this world is to see an honorable person fighting against misfortune‚ and never give up. I agree with this statement because it happens in real life and in literature. A man who goes against tragedy caused by nature‚ human or himself is considered great and honorable. Two works of literature that illustrate the quote as I have explained

    Britanee Gugel "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly"‚ was once said by Antoine De Saint-Exupery.

This is shown through the literary work Hamlet by William Shakespeare. After reading Hamlet I disagree with this quote because authors often exaggerate the truth to

    “In literature evil often triumphs but never conquers.” This means that in literature there is often a case where evil wins a battle but it never wins a war. This consensus seems reasonable because most books or movies the characters overcome the evil. This is especially true in the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Evil may appear to be dominating‚ but in the end‚ good prevails. The major evil that Melinda‚ overcomes is that she has been raped. This is the main conflict of the story. This
