...The Iliad, Its Characters and the Code of Honor Within the ancient text of The Iliad, heroes define and mold their character through decisions based on a set of principles, which are referred to as the “Code of Honor.” The heroic code which Homer presents to the reader is an underlying cause for many of the events which occur, but many of the characters differ on their perceptions and the gravity of the code. Achilles actions often find him going “against the grain” of the code of honor. His actions lie in stark contrast with those of Hector, a true hero and my hero, who strives to follow and live the code of honor, despite its consequences. Hector, the greatest of the Trojan warriors, begins the poem as the model of a Homeric hero and living the code of honor. His dedication and strict belief in the code of honor is illustrated many times throughout the course of The Iliad. An instance in which we see Hector’s strict belief in the code of honor takes place during his return home in the sixth book. Hector returns to Troy in order to have the queen and the other women make a sacrifice to Athena, hoping she will assist the Trojans in the war. After arranging this act he visits Paris, with the intention of convincing him to fight. Visibly upset, Hector scolds Paris, telling him, “The people are dying around the city and around the steep wall as they fight hard; it is for you that this war with its clamor has flared up about our city. You yourself would fight with another whom...

...Joshua Wyatt 5256417 Clas1P97 February 14th 2013 The Heroes Death Patroclus is introduced to the Iliad as no more then a friend of Achilles but dies as one of the great Achaean heroes of the Trojan war. Like many Greek Heroes it is because he dies that he achieves his heroism in the eyes of the ancient Greeks. His death leads to him being immortalized within the pages of the Iliad along side the likes of Achilles, Hector and Ajax. Patroclus death comes in the 16th book of the Illiad and with his final moments being an exchange of words between him and his killer Hector of Troy (Iliad,16.870-897). The exchange between Hector and Patroclus is one where heroes mock each other explaining why the other one is the fool. Before death takes Patroclus from the world he is given a gift, he is able to see into the future and gaze at the death of Hector. This is a privilege not granted to many heroes even Hector the greatest of all the Trojans is not granted this when Achilles forces him to Hades. Patroclus achieved what all heroes want a glorious death. Death on the battlefield is what a great shoulder need in order to instill his name into history. Even Achilles the greatest of the Greeks was told that he would be forgotten if he did not fight and die in the Trojan war. Through his death Patrolclus was able to achieve his heroism, as he went into battle knowing that he could die, wearing Achilles armour and was even fool people into thinking that he was Achilles. In the end a great...

...Question no. 1 What is manliness? How is it shown in the journey of Odysseus and in the tragedy of Achilles and Hector? When talking about manliness, the very first thing that comes into my mind is being powerful. Powerful in a positive sense but when power being abused, thus manliness can be subjected to negativity. Powerful, where one possesses an enormous amount of strength, full of courage, confident with his ability and own attributes of being a true man, man of virtue. Connoting manliness as being powerful, we can relate it to being a good and respected leader wherein he is independent, strong and has no room for weakness in his heart. He wanted to develop not just his own personality but also ego of others. Shows consideration for others. An assured leader and logical thinker. We live in a world that is full of challenges and competitions and we are all fixated in achieving perfection, we all aim for victory and excellence. Thus, manliness is also about never ending courage. The brave heart one possesses. In the softer side, manliness is about being humble, patient, supportive and helpful. A man, who is good, knows what is right from wrong. A man by virtue, who do good not for the sake of being good, but doing well because that is what he wants. He is morally upright in the eyes of the others yet doesn’t exalt himself. Looking at the other side of the moon, manliness can also be subjected to negativity. When we are being so much attached in aiming excellence, sometimes...

...Leveraging Existing Tests in Automated Test Generation for Web Applications Amin Milani Fard Mehdi Mirzaaghaei University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada Ali Mesbah {aminmf, mehdi, amesbah}@ece.ubc.ca ABSTRACT To test web applications, developers currently write test cases in frameworks such as Selenium. On the other hand, most web test generation techniques rely on a crawler to explore the dynamic states of the application. The first approach requires much manual effort, but benefits from the domain knowledge of the developer writing the test cases. The second one is automated and systematic, but lacks the domain knowledge required to be as effective. We believe combining the two can be advantageous. In this paper, we propose to (1) mine the human knowledge present in the form of input values, event sequences, and assertions, in the human-written test suites, (2) combine that inferred knowledge with the power of automated crawling, and (3) extend the test suite for uncovered/unchecked portions of the web application under test. Our approach is implemented in a tool called Testilizer. An evaluation of our approach indicates that Testilizer (1) outperforms a random test generator, and (2) on average, can generate test suites with improvements of up to 150% in fault detection rate and up to 30% in code coverage, compared to the original test suite. these interactions at runtime is manifested through the Document Object Model (DOM) and presented to the end-user in...

With our application, we offer people the gift of never having to suffer through a lonely lunch ever again, if they so wish. As students, we don’t have any fixed break times for us to have our lunch, as most students take different courses and subjects. This means that no matter how much you try to synchronise your schedule to that of your friends, you will inevitably come upon a time where you will have no available friends to share your lunch or breaks with. This scenario was the backbone of our motivation to create the Lunch Partner application. With our app, we help our customers in a few key ways. The first and most...

...Kayla Romine Mr. Kaplan English 12 P.4 25 October 2011 Heroes Essay “Hero” is one of the thousands of words a person is capable of looking up in the dictionary and the definition is not exactly described what it is stated as. Many Americans believe that the definition they are capable of getting out of the dictionary is the most correct and reliable definition. However, that is not the case because everyone in the world as their own definition of a hero. On the website of The My Hero Project by Ashley from Fredericksburg it is stated, “ When asked "What is a hero?," Christopher Reeve replied that he used to believe a hero was someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences. Now he believes that ‘A hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.’ ” A hero does not have a specific definition that could be set in stone for each individual to comprehend. As in the Iliad with Achilles and in the epic of Beowulf, both were heroes in different ways. Whether it be them being main characters or being a male. Beowulf's’ heroic strengths and weaknesses versus the strengths and weaknesses of Achilles’ will be further described. Although the characteristics between the two are widely different, they are both fueled by pride and glory. The only reason Achilles goes to Troy is to enhance his own glory. On the other hand, Beowulf is not as persistent, but the value of glory in his society implies...

...Document Object Model Prototypes, Part 1: Introduction Introduction This article is the first installment of a two-part series that introduces advanced JavaScript techniques in Windows Internet Explorer 8. Web applications have come a long way since the birth of the static Web page. Today, Web developers need improved programming functionality, flexibility, and features to enable them to build the next generation of Web applications. The Internet Explorer Web platform provides many of the features and functionality necessary to build those applications. Where the Web platform's built-in support ends, JavaScript, the principle scripting language used on the Web, is often used to code innovative new features that supplement the Web platform, cater to Web site specific scenarios, normalize differences between browsers, and so on. To further empower Web developers with the programming tools necessary to build new JavaScript scenarios that innovate, extend, and build-upon the Web platform, Internet Explorer 8 offers a collection of features that extend some of JavaScript's advanced functionality into the Document Object Model (DOM). This article provides an overview of JavaScript prototype inheritance and introduces the DOM prototypes feature available in Internet Explorer 8; Part 2 introduces a new type of JavaScript property called an accessor property (or getter/setter property). Prototypes in JavaScript To begin a discussion of DOM prototypes, it is crucial to understand...
