English

Naya [18.7K]3 years ago
4 0

According to Thoreau citizens are obligated to act on their conscience, sometimes this means giving opposition to an opinion of those in the majority. These include the likes of present leaders, and societal laws. According to him service to one’s country and resistance are a paradox. He claims patriotism in its highest form is that of resistance.as it strongly shows a passion for not subverting the government, yet, built it better in the long run. Thoreau does not really support a blanket refutation of government, but challenges to specific characters and qualities believed to be one-sided or morally wrong.

If Odysseus wasn’t a good hero what could’ve happened to him, his wife, his son and his kingdom? What was Odysseus able to do. B
shtirl [24]

Answer:

well for starters he may have never even made it back to his wife because it takes a heros traits to go through all that peril and still make it home. If he didn't prove himself or have the smarts, his wife would eventually have to have married off to another man that was more suitable to rule the kingdom and Odysseus would loose everything that he owned. It was because he was a good hero that he became the king in the first place and he also survived many dangerous encounters. This includes the Cyclops, Polyphemus, Circe who almost turned him into an animal but ended up helping him instead, and then also how he returned home, claimed what was his, and killed all the suitors that had tried to takes his position and wife. Also, the fact that he was some amazing war hero who proved his worth showed that he truly deserved his positions and he wasn't questioned by anybody when he took it back. His son probably would have been used as a slave or normal warrior. Maybe even killed so that there were no possible men to take over the throne with Odysseus gone.
