Deeds are a lot more important than words. The little saying ‘easier said than done’ proves that point. A lot of the characters in The Iliad say a lot of things‚ just to say them. Only a few actually go about their words. They usually are bluffing throughout their speeches that they give or conversations they have with other humans or gods.

Tannen’s essay “Bossy” is More Than a Word to Women shows that calling a woman bossy can often harm their mental fortitude. The reasoning behind this is because when girls are playing together‚ they often use language that shows that no one girl is better than the rest‚ and when a girl tells the other girls what to do‚ she is often shunned from the group. This leads to a fear of being excluded‚ which could explain why “bossy” is such a sensitive word with women. I‚ personally‚ have both been called
