English IV:
1) Answer the following blog question:
Which would you rather have: physical power and fighting ability like Achilles, or political power and wealth like Agamemnon? Why? What would you do with those powers? Which do you think people in modern society strive to achieve?
if i had to choose one of the three forms of powers i would go with the Achilles fighting abilities. i would use my powers to help aid and protect the people that were unable to protect themselves. i would use my power for good and not evil. also i would use my fighting abilities to protect myself against enemy attacks. i think that this choice of the three powers would be a better benefit over all

DeleteI would probably choose physical power and fighting ability because I would really like to defend myself when I'm in some kind of problem or defend my loved ones. I would use those powers to help people and make their lives easier. There are so many helpless people who can't stand up for their rights. And I want to help them. Now a days people would mostly choose political power and wealth because people want to conquer the world. They want everything to happen their way. And if people really do got these powers probably the world wouldn't survive because there would be so much competition which will lead to bad things happening all around the world.

If I was to choose from these two abilities I would choose to have power like Agamemnon. I would like to have these powers because they can be very useful.It can help with donations for charities. With all the political power we can try to help this economy out for people who need help finding job.This is the power I would choose.

I would rather have political power and wealth like agamemnon. However, I would use these abilities to help people economically, and give them protection. This way I could gain people's trust and respect. In my opinion, modern society would prefer these abilities either for the money and the power or just because they really want to help those in need.

I would want political power like Agamemnon, id be able to control things & make things the way i want them to be. i think these days people do strive to have political power, these days only having physical abililtes can only get you so far.

I would rather have the strength and speed of achillies. With these abilities i would be able to many things. many people now a days try to stay in shape and try to look and be as physically fit as they can. I'd say that the strive for political power and the strive for physical fitness are about the same. I would choose physical abilities over political power becuase if i wanted to hurt someone that was tryin to over power me with their political power i would be capable of doing so.

I would rather choose to have physical power and fighting ability like Achilles. Having these abilties i would be able to defend myself in any type of situaution that had came my way. With this power i would not have to worry about anyone trying to harm me or come in my way of doing something or getting something i had wanted.People in modern society strive to have a nice looking body and staying in shape all the time.

If I had the choice from either physical power and fighting abilities like Achilles or political power and wealth like Agamemnon. I would choose political power and wealth. Not only will political power give me the chance to reign over people such as an army. I would be able to control a whole country just like Agamemnon. Without the need to fight anyone,I will have the wealth and power that the person who is out there fighting seeks to obtain. With the political power and wealth I'll make my own rules the way I'd want them to be, without anyone being able to oppose me. However, people in our modern society would choose the most obvious. Which is physical power and fighting abilities, just because they have an artificial look into things. But what they don't realize is that political power and wealth is what runs this world. It's what makes laws and restrictions. Physical power is worthless if you have no wealth or political power in our modern society.

I would rather have fighting abilities and physical power like achilles because if I needed to I could protect myself. I would also use my power to help people that are injured or protect people who can't help themselves. I'd like to be able to defend myself and the people who depend on me.

i would rather have strength like achilles because i would be able to protect myself and the people i cared for. i would only use my power if i was in trouble and to protect my loved ones. people in modern times strive for political power and wealth in this time.

If I have to choose I would choose political power and wealth like Agamemnon. The reason is because I would have the opportunity to help other people in need. I would help them economically. It's true that many politicians can be corrupt but since I dont like that I wouldn't think that would happen to me, I hope. When I watch the news I see so many people that need money for anything maybe because they are sick or lost their homes and I would love to help if I had the opportunity to choose to have political power and wealth. Also I think many would want to achieve to be wealthy and have political power.

I think I would pick Achilles powers over Agamemnon's because it would be like being a super hero which would be awesome. I would rater be a super hero then a politician even if I did have alot of power because alot of people wouldnt like me if I were a greedy power hungry politician. I would use my super powers for good, like kicking bad guys butts. I think most people strife for political power now a days because it is easier and alot more common.

I would pick Achilles powers that way I can help other with my on two hand. not be a power dictator that will have u executed for every little mistake.no one like to be ruled by anyone if some one does rule is to help the people not make them fight in a war just for face and to strike fear into every who get in his way.

I would pick Achilles power over Agamemnon's power because I think it would be amazing have a fighting ability just like Achilles. This would give me a lot of physical strength and physical power. Having a fighting ability would allow me to be able to defend myself against any harm. Most of all I would be able to protect myself against any enemy who is trying to attack me. If people were to get these powers I do not think they would strive to achieve because they will have something meaningful to them without having any competition.

i would choose having political power.I think that political power could get me much further in life than physical and fighting power.i would try to customize our country to be exactly what i wanted.people in modern day society most definetly strive to have political power. it's all about who you know now a days

If I had the choice from political power and wealth like Agamemnon, or physical power and fighting abilities like Achilles it would be a hard decision. Political power and wealth you can control and dictate a whole country. You can make your own laws and rules.I think people in modern society strive to achieve with physical power and fighting. The thing is that they don't realize that with political power and wealth you don't have to fight or hurt other people. You can send soldiers or pay people to your job.

i'd rather have the physical power because with the power , i'd gain power and wealth by intimidating people and no one would be able to take me down .you can use it to gain and protect for yourself.

I would rather have political power. I would rather have political power because if your followers are really loyal they would help you defeat a very strong person. Now a day I would still rather have political power. Everything now a day is led by politics so having political power is every thing. That's why I would rather have political power in both eras.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have physical power and fighting ability like Achilles, you gain power,wealth, and other usefully tactics like fear. When people are scared of your power you basically controlling them physically and mentally. Example: If a professional boxer steals your watch right in front of you and he threatens you saying if you raise your finger ill knock you out. Would you risk your life by raising your finger?

I would Rather have political power. I would rather have political power because i would rather be able to take control over someones mind then only be able to hurt them. I feel that if I can take control over someones mind I have greater power then only having strength.

I would rather have political power and wealth like Agamemnon because I would have the power to control and do what I want. Having the ability to control political problems can help out a lot with the country, especially with its economy. Having physical power will only get you so far.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have political power along with wealth like Agamemnon. I think its more important to have political power and let people judge you based on the decisions taken. I think with political power you get a better sense of what the people want and what you have to offer them. With my political power I would try to make the people happy as well as myself without going against them. I think people in modern society strive to achieve because they dont want to be left behind. The wealthy will always prosper as for the poor will fall behind. I think thats why people try so hard to achieve and be successful.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have physical powers like Achilles because i want to be unstoppable. I would make every man fear me and i would fight to my ability. I might need that power for the wrestling team aswell. But i think people now and days prefer political power because a lot of people strive for money and power.

I would rather have political power then fighting ability. Fighting ability to get into power is like tyranny while political power that has been achieved makes you a good ruler of your people. With political power you can control the people with fighting power to do your job

I would rather have physical power and fighting ability like Achilles because with political power they would eventually get tired of you and over thrown you. While with physical abilities you can defend your self and no one will try to hurt you.
