.... this war time really well were Stephen Crane and Robert E. Lee. Stephen Crane depicted the attitudes of Americans at that time really well. In his poem "War Is Kind" he shows us how tired Americans were of war. This poem is very strong and emotional because he gives us mental images of how horrible war is.

Zeus' remark that “Greed and folly will double suffering in the lot of man...” is indeed the standard by which men are judged to be the Shepherd or the wolf. It is greed and folly, which are the marks of impious men, men who engage in improper feasting. Worse still are those who give into temptation after long suffering, for it denies them the knowledge of the good; namely virtue.
