Mouse and Donald Duck and Pooh Bear and Piglet are all pairs of true friends. They are together‚ helping and caring for each other in both fun and easy times‚ along with hard and painful times. A true friend is one’s supporter‚ sidekick‚ and other half. A true friend is someone who brings the other back up when they’re down and is always there for them to count on. John Steinbeck’s novel‚ Of Mice and Men‚ tells the story of two true friends. George and Lennie have traveled together for quite some

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

join the gang down the street. In their diverging paths‚ these boys challenge common beliefs about adversity. One such belief belongs to Roman poet Horace. Says the philosopher‚ “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” In the case of the first boy‚ Horace’s assertion holds true‚ but his friend’s case reveals its falsehood. Adversity‚ then‚ is a fickle matter; one cannot predict whether an adverse experience will

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

A friend loves at all times‚ and a brother is born for adversity. (Proverbs 17:17) You can always tell a real friend: when you ’ve made a fool of yourself‚ he doesn ’t feel you ’ve done a permanent job. (Laurence J. Peter) A lot of people go through life with only a few friends. It seems that some have less than that. They have no one on whom they can call in good times or bad. There is no one with whom to bounce ideas around‚ or to talk about deep and troubling subjects. They have no one

Adversity‚ as Horace so claims‚ does not elicit talents from people more than any other circumstances; rather‚ it provides a platform for people with talents to showcase their skills in applicable circumstances. Not all of the many thousands of people who have faced adversities in America’s history have come out with grand talents; in fact‚ most of them don’t. For every Frederick Douglass‚ there are tens of thousands of freedmen who‚ suffering much‚ accomplish little. The concept of adversity eliciting

Friendship is a relationship that all the individuals can create by themselves. Though it is not a god gifted relationship like that of the relationship of a mother‚ father‚ sister‚ brother or any of the other family but still it is one of the best relations an individual can possess.
