for many different reasons. Today people do not need others to call them heroes or need to have everyone know their name to feel glorified. Yes‚ there are instances where someone is being glorified and being called a hero so everyone knows their name(s)‚ but that is not the only thing it comes down to. For example‚ I feel glorified when I am running at a track meet and I hear people cheering for me.

The best glorification of crime and criminals seems to be portrayed in the news‚ TV‚ and movies. Often you will see how a bank robber will get away with the cash and never get caught.

According to Wordsworth‚ every poet ought to be a teacher. Regarding himself‚ it was his opinion that he should be remembered merely as a teacher. But his concept of teaching was somewhat untraditional. It was his firm opinion that education should never be knowledge oriented‚ but life oriented.

The first stanza gives us the bounty of Autumn‚ the second describes the occupations of the season‚ and the last dwells upon its sounds.

Originally when I was posed this question my immediate response was to return the Immortality pill (IP). The reason I initially responded this way‚ and still remain set on my belief had plenty to do with the factors involved.
