In Damon and Pythias, the author creates surprise when Dionysius pardons Damon and Pythias.

Damon and Pythias symbolizes friendship. In the myth, Pythias is accused of conspiring against Dionysius and condemned to death. In that way, Damon offers himself to be held hostage and also to die in his friend's stead if Pythias does not return. However, when Phythias returns to save Damon's life, Dionysius is so moved by their friendship and their loyalty that he ends up freeing both of them. That is the 'surprise effect' that the author of the myth creates.

Do you agree with lundstrom that it is inconsistent to deny privilege like voting and drinking to teenagers but then to sentence

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

I don’t agree with Lundstrom that it is inconsistent to deny privileges like voting and drinking to teenagers but then to sentence them as adults, setting the early age standards to allow teenagers to vote and drink is to connive them. People would never know what could a teenager do, their behaviors are erratic. But that doesn’t mean they would be free from trails, the title of “juveniles” does not indicate that they are

innocent in every situations, in certain circumstances, they should be tried as adults
