The Roman philosopher Cicero, stated in his thesis Ethical Writings of Cicero that “The greater the difficulty the greater the glory.” To further validate this statement, one must look at this issue from all parts of the spectrum. Is hard work always rewarded with glory? Is glory always achieved through hard work? Well in almost all walks of life, those who work hard are the ones who achieve in life. Life presents everybody with obstacles. It is when you truly struggle you reveal your traits of strength and determination. Those who use these traits to their advantage are the ones who achieve in life. The theme of the ability to withstand harsh difficulties and obstacles set by life in order to achieve the greater glory is clearly demonstrated in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and in Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. In both of these notable works of literature, both authors use the literary elements of theme and characterization in order to convey Cicero’s claim to the fullest extent.…

A lot of people believe that just because that they are young means that they can eat unhealthy and not exercise and later on in life they can start trying to eat healthy and exercising then they will be okay. That is not true. It can actually put a person’s body more at risk to having diabetes, heart disease or any other terrible disease. Physical activity and nutrition are partners when it comes to sustaining better health. Being active increases the amount of calories burned. As people age their metabolism slows, so maintaining energy balance requires moving more and eating less. To help a person to get in the routine of exercising can be challenging but with the help of the environment, it will not be that difficult. Going on nature walks or walks throughout the community just to pick up trash and clean up the neighborhood is not…
