"The opposite of fear," Dienekes said, "is love."
What is your reaction to this quote? How does it make you feel?
My Reaction was that it was deep and seemed like something you would find in a poem. It made me feel confused because you cant love someone and hate them so that should be the opposite because you can be afraid of someone and still love them.
Chapter 20 Page 319
" I had seen Rooster whipped and beaten any number of times upon our chores and details in Lakedaemon. But never till this this moment had i seen his eyes well and fill"
What strikes you about this passage? Why is it interesting to you?
The thing that strikes me about this passage was how he was saying how much he had been beaten and how he must have felt about him. This is interesting because he feels bad for him even though he is supposed to be a 'tough guy'.
Book 8:
Chapter 38 Page 384
"Tell the Spartan stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie."
What strikes you about this passage? Why is it interesting to you?
This was interesting because its confusing at first but when you read it again then i got that it means that if a spartan stranger comes by they should know what happened in the epic battle.
Chapter 35 Page 360
"His eyes seemed however, darkened with sorrow"
What is your reaction to this quote? How does it make you feel?
This quote made a picture in my head of eyes turning black because the person was sad and i thought it was cool because instead of just saying he was sad or he was crying or something his eyes showed it.
