One could argue that Harrison DID act heroically because he was so intelligent as evidenced by his many handicaps, especially the ones that would cause noise to disrupt his thoughts and weights to stop his strength. Since he was able to escape and because he was able to take off all his handicaps, it shows that he must've understood the consequences of declaring himself emperor on national television. He didn't gather weapons or assemble an army. Instead he chose to dance and made it extremely easy for the government to find him. He had to know that the Handicapper General would kill him to protect their society. Since he chose to defy the rules of society and live, briefly, free of their constraints, it is easy to see why someone may consider Harrison to be a hero. Choosing to die free of the constraints of his society is very heroic.
On the other hand, one could also argue that it wasn't heroic at all, since he did NOT escape with a plan to help other people, including his parents, who were subject to the terrible laws and handicaps set on them by the government. A truly heroic person would have thought of other people, too, and not just himself. We know that Harrison is the strongest, most beautiful, and most intelligent person there is because he has such heavy and ugly handicaps. Someone who has so many gifts SHOULD help other people. In most definitions of the word, a hero is someone who sacrifices part or all of him or herself to help other people. Harrison did not help anybody except the ballerina with whom he danced, and that caused her death, too.

Question: In order to reach fundamental convictions that he can call his own, Descartes decides to sweep aside all the opinions he had learned “at school.” However he is careful to distinguish his position from that of the skeptics. What is the distinction he makes?
Answer:
Descartes is untroubled by the fact that, as he has described them, mind and matter are very different: One is spatial and the other not, and therefore one cannot act upon the other. ... It is the nature of bodies to be in space, and the nature of minds not to be in space, Descartes claims.

Explanation:
I've looked this question up online. The options are simply:
a. First Person
b. Second Person
c. Third Person
Answer:
The point of view in this paragraph is:
a. First person.
Explanation:
The narrator of the excerpt is telling the story from a first-person point of view. The easiest way to confirm that is by taking a look at the pronouns used:
The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my feet hitting the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my
breathing with the rhythm.
<u>First-person narrators use first-person pronouns such as "I" and "me". This type of narrator gives us his/her own perspective on things. That means we accompany this narrator throughout the story, see things from his perspective, and only get to know what he knows. One advantage of first-person point of view is that we get to dive deeper into the narrator's feelings and thoughts. One disadvantage is that he is a biased narrator, which makes him untrustworthy.</u>
