The story of Baba Abdalla is a classic Arabic folktale that appears in the collection of the One Thousand and One Nights. It tells the story of a man who was so consumed by avarice it led him to his downfall.

In the story, Baba Abdalla ends up being a beggar, after all his struggle and the loss of his wealth. He then asks everyone who gives him money to also give him a blow to the head. The reason, he argues,<em> is that he wants to expiate the sin of avarice</em>, that has caused him so much suffering.

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT
lesya692 [45]

I enjoy arguementative essays because I believe that I can voice my opinion without any oppressors. It is hard to put my argument on paper, but after a lot of time and effort, I am able to easily make outlines for these essays which is a useful skill. I have the most trouble with the rebuttal because it is hard to write something that contradicts my opinion.

This is a brief outline, you can add more to it if you’d like.

Hope it helps!

Secondary characters impact Juliet through their views on love and their resulting expectations for Juliet. What does love and m
Tema [17]
Lord Capulet views marriage as a bargain, a contract, and a way to increase his family's standing in the community. Since Paris is a cousin of the Prince, Capulet believes that this marriage will bring honor and status to the Capulet family. He probably has the intention of using this to assert dominance over the Montagues. When describing Paris to Juliet he says he is "A gentleman of noble parentage / Of fair demesnes, youthful, and nobly train'd<span>" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows that his main focus is Paris's status, rather than how he would actually be as a match for Juliet. 
</span>
Capulet does not even think of what Juliet might want, he says to Paris "I think she will be ruled / In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not" (Act 3, Scene 4). This shows that he just assumes Juliet will agree to marry Paris because he said so. When she refuses, he reacts very badly. He says that if she does not agree to the wedding, she can "hang, beg, starve, die in
the streets, / <span>For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows the lengths he is willing to go to to punish Juliet if she does not agree, which reinforces his idea of marriage as a contractual agreement rather than something that is developed out of love. </span>
