Either way, it would be nice to have things over with fast, but the intense pain might not make it worth it. For the world to end in ice, seems to present the image of a slower, numbing effect.

In his time, only the rich aristocrats went to school. It’s purpose was not for the students to learn skills or ideas that would help them later in life, but to expand their minds, thus making them into ‘better people.’ There was no need for them to learn any job skills.

Our society is completely unlike that of the ancient Greeks. We have no caste .....

Literature, in Ancient Greece, used to be a main reflection of what the society thinks what values and rules it has and what impact the war had on people’s minds.
