Dear Deer

I live in an area with deer.  Not to mention, black bears, all sorts of snakes, hogs (kinda like living in a literal Hogwarts XD) , turtles, bunnies, rabbits, bobcats, etc.  However, two miles from my house, there is a McDonald’s, a mall, Red Robin, Cheddar’s, Wal-Mart, Publix, BJ’s, etc.  Yep, I may live what sounds like a wilderness, but just around the corner there is the highway, restaurants, shopping centers, etc.  Anyways, let’s say one day I plan to make a garden, then, for some reason, the deer start eating it.  The bears and other animals stay clear of my garden, because they know they’ll get a blow horn blown in their ears.  However, what do I do to keep the deer away, even though I love seeing them in my yard?

The Allegory of the Cave and Christianity

Is there some similarities between Greek works and Christianity?  Yes, I think there is.  However, for example, Greek religion is different from Christianity.  Greek religion has to do with several gods.  Christianity has to do with one God.  But with all of that aside, we will discuss about Greek works that are similar to Christianity.  For example, the allegory of the cave fits along Christian beliefs.

Cicero and Catiline

   In Greece, Cicero was a public speaker.  In fact such as good public speaker that he made Catiline, a Greek member of the Greek Senate, left the city just as Cicero “advised” him to.  Why did Cicero do this in the first place?  Because he was in a conspiracy with Catiline.  He addressed a speech to Catiline in front of the whole Greek Senate.  All Catiline did was leave.  That’s it.  He just left Greece and went to fight with the army he, Catiline, set around Rome.  He didn’t say anything to undermine Cicero.  This essay is about what I would have done if I was Catiline.

Seneca and Roman Art

Seneca (not Seneca Crane) was a tutor, an adviser, a writer, a moral philosopher, etc.  He was a tutor and then an adviser to the emperor Nero.  He was a philosopher, but he didn’t come up with his own ideas of what life means, is, will be, etc.  He was more of a philosopher who believed in another philosopher’s beliefs.  He believed in similar lines around Aristotle’s Ethics (link tells you a bit about the Ethics, if you don’t know about it).

Works and Days and Eumenides

This essay is about only one major difference between Works and Days by Hesiod and Eumenides by Aeschylus.  That difference is the ethical cause and effect, between each book.  Both have to do with the things you can do to lead yourself down the path of wrong doing.  However, in Works and Days describes both paths of right and wrong.  In Eumenides, we read more about what happens as and/or after we have done a terrible wrong.
