if you were king acrisius would you do the same thing just to escape from his dreadful faith. why or why not?

No, I wouldn't do the same thing that King Acrisius did.

Explanation:

From the whole story, we've come to understand that Apollo's oracle was inevitable. It was bound to happen unless Danae was killed before she could bore a child. King Acrisius couldn't kill his daughter because he feared the wrath of the gods. Although he made sure to keep her and her son, Perseus, away from him with all efforts. Sadly, in the end he was killed by Perseus just like how the oracle prophesied.

Therefore, if I were king Acrisius, I wouldn't have done the same thing as he did just to escape his dreadful fate. Instead I would keep Danae and Perseus close to me so that I could give them all my love and care as a father and grandfather while it lasts.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
