That's a perfect introduction to the movie 300, you need to show him that ASAP. The highest purpose of education is to provide some context for Hollywood fiction. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Or the next time Jon says to him, "Give me that right now", and the boy goes, "Molon labe!"
