classic story of Odysseus is hard to avoid‚ as the Epic Poem shares the tale of a fittingly famous Epic Hero. Along with other Epic heroes such as Beowulf and Gilgamesh‚ the title of “Epic” and “Hero” are only necessary. Ralph of Disney’s comedic film “Wreck-it Ralph” does in no way meet the criteria that the aforementioned protagonist pull off.

After viewing the film ‘Born Rich’‚ which profiled young adults who were born into the upper 1-4% of the wealthiest families in the country‚ I was kind of surprised to see that the majority of them did not like for it to be known that they came from money and still wanted to work for their own money.

In the recent discussion of the article “Dumpster Diving” there were a lot of options on whether or not dumpster diving was the best practice for individuals to take to get their food.
