Of all that breathes and crawls across the earth,
our mother earth breeds nothing feebler than a man.
-Homer
As i sit here and make a lesson plan, my mind revolves around this quote and i believe that i am living it! Goodness, i feel feeble today after the mental anguish that i have stirred with a certain someone. A certain someone!
I can go on all day analyzing the quote because it's just so perfect for my mood. Not only will this provide me with cool practice of writing about thematic ideas, but i can relate to this quote. i believe that good writing abstains from just the academic/formal atmosphere, but incorportates the personal, more informal side of things; it should be objective and subjective at the same time. am i making sense? it's late.
Getting back to the quote, i think that every man, cuz all men must crawl before their women at one time or another, can relate to this. God, why do we men live up to the phrase, "all men are dogs!" I dont know, but maybe our minds are just feeble! is that what Homer is saying? maybe men are stronger than women physically, but i certainly must say that our actions make us mentally inferior-at times-in contrast to women! Spongebob, although a hollow sponge, has more brains than us men. Ok, so maybe some of you will say that i am speaking for myself, but i am not...im just not ashamed to generalize and condemn who i am...or belong to-the XY chromosome!
feeble? fragile also.
