The Tales Of The World

This is greatly illustrated in the book "Monkey" where the Monkey King mentions his desire to live forever at numerous points.

Immortality has been made into this ultimate goal. Literature and films have often painted immortality as a gift only given to the few who have proven themselves worthy of it. A life full of great wisdom, experience, and many other joys. In Journey to the West, it opens up with the birth of Monkey and follows him as he tries to achieve immortality. Monkey wants immortality and is willing to do anything to get it; thinking immortality will bring him a an enlightened life. After reading Journey to the West, I believe immortality should not be something that is prized as the ultimate gift. I think living an immortal life would be far worse than a mortal one and throughout this paper I will discuss why.

When I entered the city, there weren’t even people manning the gates. There were several guardsmen patrolling about the town, but other than that, it seems as though everyone here has decided to give up on life. No, hang on, I left something out. The guards are not, in fact, the only people out on the street.

I agree with Edith Hamilton’s statement that men let all their acts turn on the immortality of the soul because in Greek mythology, the heroes were not afraid of death. They were only concerned with being remembered as a great person. The idea of a greater afterlife gave them courage to conquer any barrier that stood in their way. Hercules is an excellent example of this idea, as he was asked to complete twelve impossible tasks in order to redeem himself after killing his wife and children. As one of the strongest people on earth, he was confident in his abilities, and he eventually finished the tasks. Each undertaking promised certain death to Hercules, but he was willing to risk his life to be remembered as a prominent hero. He ultimately

“Alright Leslie, you’re here!” some lady exclaimed. The whole town was in a type of quiet unison. It was implausibly light outside despite the fact that it was only 6 in the morning. The streets were flawlessly black with no cracks whatsoever. It was so peaceful considering that it was 200 people outside and Leslie was quite frightened by it.

In all three fairy tales we have studied so far, there is a male “beast” figure included; the wolf in "Little Red Cap," the wildman in "Iron Hans," and finally Beast in "Beauty and the Beast." These “beats” have words such as wicked, wild, or even frightful to describe them. Although they are all such different stories, there are many similar ideas through the use of the beast that surround human sexuality and sexual awareness. Depending on age and gender of the protagonist involved, these ideas could slightly differ. The beast motif conveyed in each of these stories also touches upon gender, and sexual awareness.

AMBITIONS OF IMMORTALITY is an original sci-fi, action thriller. The plot explores man’s need for immortality. The script also explores the theme of machine vs. man, as well as man’s need to survive. The moral question of how far man should take technology and play the role of God is also examined. These are solid themes.

Immortal people have a lot of patience this is because they need to control themselves not to be rush out and want to be impatient since if you are immortal person and you wanna die it is late so immortal are recommended for people who can endure no matter happens to their life if they are impatient they have to deal with it for the rest of your life now get. You may think think being immortal is helpful whether you are an optimist like the greedy and rich people out there but to the pessimist it is destructive because you have to daily all over again. If most people has a choice to live a permanent life, what would they do for the rest of their life, just follow daily basis and it is kind of boring since to teenagers or kids or adults

This is due to the consistency of their individual characteristics remaining the same for so many years. Problematically, William’s asserts, the immortal life would be undesirable, or unlivable since we will inevitably exhaust our categorical desires.

The dream of eternal youth is reserved for the gods, but we humans have always sought immortality.

Today I’d like to tell you about fantasy literature. It is very hard to tell all about it but I’ll try to do it as good as possible and not being boring.

He sets out the number of guidance that meant to assist in establishing the building of which lifespan can become ‘eternal’. (Vitruvius, 1960) However, in modern, ever changing society, Vitruvian stance of permanence becomes partly invalid and problematic.
