His arrogance, vanity is strong to be taken in by the fox. He didn't understand the fox flattery and smug. Such a person is prone to failure in the real life. No matter use what method, can achieve a goal is a good way, so can't use the word to describe the cunning fox, I think should be smart, just like what Deng Xiaoping said "whether black cat or white cat, as long as can catch mice are good cat" The crow and the fox can serve as a small microcosm of modern people.

Q1: The argument suggests courage be defined based on, the actions of an individual and the situation they are placed in. Someone could be put into the same situation and act on the situation differently based on experience, knowledge, desperation, and the meaning of the action or situation to an individual.(192c1-3-192d7) Someone with more knowledge will act more accordingly to a difficult situation if they know what their chances are in succeeding in that action or the consequences attempting it. Courage is a representation of bravery. If someone stands up for something not only to benefit them but to
They boys find a crow, that they later eat. Some believe seeing a crow is a sign something bad is going happen. Some of the boys believe they shouldn't eat it based on the legends, while the other thought their luck couldn't get any more worse based on the conditions they were in,which was not true because as a result of eating the bird they almost lost their friend Saidu. In the novel it states “ one afternoon, while we were searching for food in the deserted village, a crow fell from the sky. It wasn't dead, but it was unable to fly. We knew this was unusual, but we needed food and anything at that point would do[...] sometimes night has a way of speaking to us, but we never listen. The night after we ate the bird was too dark. There was no stars in the sky, and as we walked, it seemed as the darkness was getting thicker[...] A we were about to set foot on the bridge, we heard footsteps on the other side, coming towards us[...] Kanei began whispering our names. When he called out Saidu’s name he didn't answer[...]”(Ishmael pg 81-81) this whole quote is about the Oman or legend of coming across a crow.

Socrates and the Apology Some of the best sources of information about Socrates' philosophical views are the early dialogues of his student Plato, who tried to provide a faithful picture of the methods and teachings of the great master. The Apology is one of the many recorded dialogues about Socrates. It is about how Socrates was arrested and charged with corrupting the youth, believing in no god(s) (Atheism) and for being a Sophist. He attended his trial and put up a good argument. I believe that Socrates was wrongfully accused and should not have been sentenced to death.
The fox is a master trickster. His image is synonymous with cleverness and wit. The fox has enough skill and tact to easily outmaneuver any competitor who dare challenge him. A fox can rely on intellect, resourcefulness, or skill, but in the end, if he becomes overconfident or loses focus, he will undoubtedly fail.
From the very beginning of the story, the fox is described as a demon at the Bailey Farm. The fox “carried off the hens under the very noses of March and Banford” (582) who take care of the farm. It seems like the fox is successful in avoiding March and Banford and “the fox really exasperated them both” (582). However, one evening, March sees the fox and he sees her. “She was spell-bound--she knew he knew her. So he looked into her eyes, and her soul failed her” (583). March get this strange feeling and she is confused. She does not shoot him. Instead, she “put her gun to her shoulder” and follows him. March walks after him and “in her heart she was determined to find him” (583).
Socrates was a man that was in search of the truth about wisdom. However, it became more than just a simple search, rather it tuned into a complex assignment where the answer of true wisdom leads Socrates to be brought up on charges of corrupting society. As a philosopher Socrates is known to take every angle of an argument and to never put belief into one idea. Therefore Socrates was known to perplex even simple ideas and to frustrate his opponent. People who have experienced this accuse Socrates of making his own truths about the natural and unnatural world when in actuality he his still in search of a better meaning. This becomes a key factor in the "Apology" where Socrates is brought up on charges for corrupting the mind of the youths and the people that attended to his lectures. His best defence comes about when he tells the Athenian jury about his account of a confrontation of his friend Chairephon and the Oracle of Delphi.
... Now, though the Fox be punish'd by the laws, / He yet doth hope, there is no suff'ring due, / For any fact which he hath done 'gainst you; / If there be a censure him; here he doubtful stands. / If not, fare jovially, and clap your hands."
A fox is one cunning animal. And in the story, it is proven to be right. From the fox's lesson that one can see only what is essential by looking with the heart, the author leaves the desert as a changed person. He agrees with the little prince's thought: 'the stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen';.
I already know a good amount about the Aesop’s fables before doing any real research. Almost everyone as a child was introduced to the stories such as “the boy who cried wolf” or “the tortoise and the hare”. As a child many adults would read these stories to me because they have a very strong moral. It can guide children to do the right thing when they are in doubts. I have a very personal experience with the tortoise and the hare because since I am a tennis player, my coaches would always mention these stories in regarding to practice and how we should be playing. This actually taught me a lot and made me the player I am today. I know that all fables are made up so that they can teach a life lesson/moral to kids to help guide them through life and that is the exactly what happened to me by reading fables as a child.
Aesop’s fables were written around 300 BCE, and originated from Greece (“Aesop par. 6). Although most of the fables are about animals, they display the characteristics of humans. Fables are usually short and easy to comprehend, and all fables have their own morals, however; some fables have more than one. Aesop’s fables may seem childish and pointless, but they were written to point out the flaws and strengths of human beings. Most fables have a central problem that the main character must solve, and have been very important to society as a whole.
Philosophy can be defined as the pursuit of wisdom or the love of knowledge. Socrates, as one of the most well-known of the early philosophers, epitomizes the idea of a pursuer of wisdom as he travels about Athens searching for the true meaning of the word. Throughout Plato’s early writings, he and Socrates search for meanings of previously undefined concepts, such as truth, wisdom, and beauty. As Socrates is often used as a mouthpiece for Plato’s ideas about the world, one cannot be sure that they had the same agenda, but it seems as though they would both agree that dialogue was the best way to go about obtaining the definitions they sought. If two people begin on common ground in a conversation, as Socrates often tries to do, they are far more likely to be able to civilly come to a conclusion about a particular topic, or at least further their original concept.
