Aphorism

               If it weren't for caffeine I'd have no personality whatsoever.

  This aphorism reminds me of my life, and Joseph Campbell 's "Hero's Adventure" because it has several things in common with both. In my daily 

life I drink coffee every day in order to function properly and to have personality just like the author states in the aphorism. Joseph Campbell

says that a hero is someone who leaves one condition and finding a source

 to take you to another; richer condition. This describes the same as the aphorism because it says that a person leaves one condition , and embraces another condition which is better; by drinking caffeine. 

Metamorphoses questions Scene five

1. Hades is the Greek god of the Underworld,and Fates Tantalus and Sisyphus
Are some other beings of the underworld.

2. Orpheus can get Eurydice back if he walks out of the underworld without looking back at her.

3. This story can be interpreted in different ways. It can have a meaning of unquestioning what you are told because if you do there will be consequences. Another possible interpretation for the story would be that if you look into the past you will get hurt again.

4. I agree the most with the first interpretation because it is the most evident. Hades tell Orpheus that he must not look back, but if he did he would loose Eurydice. When Orpheus looked back he lost Eurydice.

5. This story is a love story because it talks about Orpheus doing whatever he could in order to get back the woman he loved. This story talks about the kind of love that is impossible due to the circumstances of life and death. Like Romeo and Juliet.

Metamorphoses Questions

1. Erysichthon cuts down the tree because they needed the wood; despite the fact that it was centuries old, or that it was in a grove sacred to Ceres.

2. The term piety means the quality of  being religious or reverent  according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

3. This term relates to Erysichthon because it´s his lack of piety what causes him to cut off a sacred tree.

4. This scene of metamorphoses is similar to The Giving Tree because  In both stories there is a character who wants more, and more. In Metamorphoses Erysichthon wants as much food as he can get ,after hunger goes to him, and in The Giving Tree the bo always wants more things from the tree. He wants his apples, his branches, and his trunk. Another connection between these two stories is the fact that Erysichthon´s greed maks him cut off a tree, and the boy in The Giving Tree ends up destroying th tree because he needed more things from the tree.

5. This scene of Metamorphoses is similar to the passage of Siddhartha when Siddhartha´s father wants his son to stay with him in the Brhamin cast instead of following the path that was right for him. This attitude shown by Sddhartha´s father is similar to Erysichthon´s attitude when he cut down the tree. They both prefer to act on behalf of their own interests rather than for the good of thoes around them.
