Contented

4.             Contented

Definition: To be contented means to desire no more than what one has, or to be satisfied. Usually when people seem to be grateful or happy for what they have been given in their life, they are also usually considered content. A character who does not whine, ask for things, or be jealous is content.

Example: The Bible is an example of a book that talks about this idea of satisfaction, as it is said that God has the ability and power to provide the feeling of being content by having his righteousness fulfill all of our desires. The Bible speaks about this specifically in Isaiah 58:11,  "And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.” One who received the guidance of God will essentially be contented, and not have any more desires, just like a watered garden.

Honnuad Travozu

**Honnuad Travozu** is the Breton king of the Forsworn during the Fifth Era. A cunning leader who seized the Dwemer city of Markarth in massacre-styled battle, making the Reach's independent kingdom reestablished. He was the most feared and loved by his people and other Reachman clans, but due to his greed and personality he was fatally killed at the event known as the Battle of Broken Bones. He was also the last true king of the Forsworn.

## Background

A little-known of the life of Honnuad Travozu, but it describes as his family were from the Reach. However the real fact that his parents and his birth place is actually in High Rock, and his birth date is unknown, however Travozu was in his forties during the War of the Red Dragon in 4E 201.

Travozu escaped to High Rock, as well as ignoring the Fourth Empire presents in The Reach, Skyrim. His true rise to power of Travozu is well-known that he was second-in-command of the Forsworn in fact, his early years with the Forsworn had lost in history.

He become the King of the Forsworn sometimes after the death of the previous leader and founder Madanach at the beginning of the Fifth Era. As a cunning leader, he lead the Forsworn with a iron fist while making his own headquarters, a camp at Karthspire in the Reach. In 5E 05, the Forsworn re-took Markarth at the Assault for the Mournful Throne, making it own capital of Honnuad's Forsworn and re-establishing a independent kingdom which was previously failed during the Markarth Incident, as Markarth as the Forsworn new capital.

His death sparked fear and mostly honorable with the clans leaders of the Forsworn, that either he was the most feared and his death was honored. His successor was unknown, but according to source, his successor is Kulveyg who became the Reach's first monarch as King of the Reach.[*source?*]

Moving the Goalposts

The Moving the Goalposts fallacy, also known as the Gravity Game, Raising the Bar, or Argument by Demanding Impossible Perfection fallacy, is used when a point has been adequately answered; however, the opponent refuses to concede and demands that the other opponent address more points although the initial counter-argument has been answered. The name "moving the goalposts" comes from the opponent shifting the focus of the argument away from the main point continuously.

   This fallacy could be encountered in daily life commonly through the ongoing debate of the existence of God. For example, if one were to claim that at one point there was only God in the world, the other would argue and question what was before God. This cycle would continue aimlessly, for both would attempt to question and answer one another, straying from the main point of whether or not God is real.

In *Ender's Game*, a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card, at Ender's battle school, the administration continues stacking the odds against him after a long string of battle victories, preventing him from advancing through the ranks.
Syllogism

**Definition**: Syllogism is a rhetorical device that starts an argument by referring to something general and then drawing a conclusion about something more specific. It is a deductive approach to reason and is based on deducing specific conclusions from general facts. It is composed of a three-part set of statements: a major statement or premise, a minor statement or premise, and a conclusion that is deduced. The first statement is a major but general fact, the second statement is a smaller and more specific fact, and the concluding statement is a premise that is logically deduced based off the first and second statements.

**Example Passage**: Shakespeare employs syllogism in his play “Timon of Athens” Act 4, scene 3:

“Flavius: Have you forgot me, sir?

Timon: Why dost ask that? I have forgot all men;

Then, if thou grant’st thou’rt a man, I have forgot thee.”

In this conversation, Timon first makes a general statement that he "forgot all men". Then he makes a more specific statement in saying that "thou grant'st thou'rt a man". Lastly, he makes a logical conclusion from these previous statements that he had "forgot thee". He is saying that if he has forgotten all men and Flavius is a man, he has forgotten Flavius.

**Visual Representation**: Movie clip from “Get Smart”:

In this scene, Siegfried states that if Maxwell Smart were controlled, he would be dead. Then Maxwell Smart makes a specific comment that he is not dead. Finally, he logically concludes from the first two statements that he is not controlled.
Exuberant

Exuberant means a state of extreme joy or happiness. People are filled with exuberance when they feel lively or high spirited because of a situation that has occurred. Many also feel exuberant during celebrations or parties where there is joy and adrenaline overflowing.  In an exuberant text, or speaker, one would see an excited or hyper attitude that shows that one is enjoying pleasure and overall very happy.

For example, large crowds in a concert are often filled with exuberance because they feel enthusiastic to be celebrating the moment.

Exuberance can be found in the “Sound of Music” when Marie feels complete joy and happiness when singing her song “The Hills are Alive.”

“The hills are alive with the sound of music

With songs they have sung for a thousand years

The hills fill my heart with the sound of music

My heart wants to sing every song it hears.”

Exuberance is also seen in the bible verse, 1 Chronicles 29:17 when speaking of how we are excited and feel joy in God’s power and reign.

“Let them sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.”

Exuberance in a sentence: The girl felt exuberance as she ran toward the crystal blue water of the island, happiness slowly devouring her soul.

Whimsical

The word whimsical is similar to ‘capricious’; it is used to describe something playful and fun, but fanciful and outlandish in quality. In many cases, this playfulness can be fickle, jumping between various feelings, situations, and unrealistic scenarios. Oddly enough, I can’t seem for find any literary quotes for whimsical, so the following is an exchange from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone that can be descibed at whimsical: “It certainly seems [that the Dark Lord is gone],” said Dumbledore. “We have much to be thankful for. Would you care for a lemon drop?" With characteristic whimsy, Dumbledore manages to quickly convince himself that dropping off an orphan Harry Potter on a doorstep is an appropriate time for candy. (Rowling 8)

## Biography

When this fails and Cosimo is exiled from Florence, Andrea betrays Rinaldo and the latter is arrested. Soon after Cosimo returns to Florence, Rinaldo is murdered after being sent into exile. Andrea accuses Cosimo of being the one responsible for Albizzi's murder. This causes the Pope to decide to transfer the Papal account from the Medici bank to the Pazzi bank. Andrea also pays an assassin to kill an olive merchant by the name of **Bredani**, chosen by Cosimo to take Rinaldo's place in the Signoria. Cosimo had manipulated the election. Cosimo's brother tracks down the assassin and takes him back to Florence to face justice. He finds a letter that the assassin was carrying that proved Andrea had hired him to kill the olive merchant. The letter also proved that Pazzi was secretly working with the Pope's enemies. Cosimo's brother is then killed by Andrea's men. Fortunately, He gave the letter to Cosimo's wife just before he was killed. Cosimo showed this letter to the Pope. Now that Andrea's treachery has been shown to him, the Pope decides not to transfer funds from the Medici bank to the Pazzi's.

Eventually, Jacopo is defeated once and for all by Lorenzo the Magnificent, finally ending the feud between the Medici and the Pazzi. Under Lorenzo's orders, the remaining members of the Pazzi family are all banished from Florence.
Circumlocution

Circumlocution is when an author expresses an idea, thing, or viewpoint that is open or inexact to more than one interpretation.  The author uses circumlocution when they want to not state anything directly and want to make their idea or claim arguable and open for debate.  Some of the features of circumlocution are when the author is not truly able to find and pick the correct words to write what they want.  Also, a circumlocution can be used in many social settings to steer away from using more derogatory words.  Finally, circumlocution can be utilized in poetry to construct a regular meter.  In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, a circumlocution is employed when Laertes is talking.  Laertes states,

“Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain

If with too credent ear you list his songs,

Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open

To his unmast’red importunity”

Laertes’ tone while he is talking here is to be described as condescending towards Ophelia.  Laertes does not showcase a genuine understanding or reflection for the feelings of Ophelia.  The usage of circumlocution is seen here because Laertes illustrates Ophelia’s lower status as a woman without directly stating it.
Medici Bank

The **Medici Bank** was a financial institution created by the Medici family in Italy during the 15th century.

Giovanni de’ Medici was the first Medici to enter banking on his own, and while he became influential in the Florentine government, it was not until his son Cosimo took over that the Medici became the unofficial head of state of the Florentine republic.
Signoria

The **Signoria** (Italian: "lordship") was the governing authority in many of the Italian city states during the Medieval and Renaissance periods.

The Signoria of Florence consisted of nine members, the *Priori*, who were chosen from the ranks of the guilds of the city: six of them from the major guilds, and two from the minor guilds. The ninth became the Gonfaloniere of Justice.
Alter-Ego

Alter Ego

1. An alter ego is a second self, which is believed to be distinct from a character’s/person's normal or original personality. A person who has an alter ego is said to lead a double life. Alter ego is also used to refer to the different behaviors any person may display in certain situations, like when with friends or alone etc.
2. Example: “During the day, she was just a school teacher; the simple, quiet book-lover that most people overlooked. But by night, she was the leader of the most notorious rebel army that would soon take back their country.” (https://literaryterms.net/alter-ego/)
Curt

The word curt can simply mean brief, usually in the context of speech. However, it has a connotation of being rude; if people are brief and nondescriptive, it can seem as if they don’t care to give anyone important information. People can construe this behavior as rude. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Uncle Vernon tries to communicate with Harry in inconspicuously, therefore, requiring him to be brief. To answer Harry’s questions, “Uncle Vernon nod[s] curtly behind Aunt Marge’s back.” (Rowling 19)

The picture below embodies Snape’s curt nature, as he frequently tells Harry to shut up, behave better, or just stay out of his personal life.

Masked Man Fallacy

Masked Man Fallacy-Ella

Definition: The masked man fallacy is based on Leibniz's Law, which states that if one object has a certain property while another does not, then the two objects cannot be identical.  While Leibniz's Law is valid, it is not valid when being is replaced with knowing, and once this occurs, that is the masked man fallacy.  The masked man fallacy has to do with jumping to conclusions and assuming something just because it seems right, without really knowing if it is. In other words, if somebody knows a ton of properties about a certain object, but not all of them, then Leibniz’s law becomes invalid, because there might be an overlapping property that is just unknown, and does actually happen to exist/be.

The fallacy can be found in the following form

I know who/what X is.

I do not know who/what Y is.

Therefore, X is not Y.

Example in the “real world”(where could the average person encounter this in daily life):

This fallacy is used a lot in advertising and comparing brands. Advertisements can promote a cool feature of their brand, and if the other brand doesn’t have that feature, then it can be used against them through the masked man fallacy. For example, I know that Verizon is the best phone brand because it has coverage in the most rural places, such as Montana. I do not know if AT&T has coverage in Montana. Therefore, AT&T is not the best phone brand.

An example of this fallacy from film or literature:

One example of this fallacy is Superman. Lois Lane believes that Superman can fly. She doesn't know if Clark Kent can fly. Therefore, Superman is not Clark Kent. In this scenario, Lois Lane is saying what she believes to know, which is that Superman can fly, and what she does not know, which is whether or not Clark Kent can also fly.  While the fact that Superman can fly may be true, she cannot just assume that Superman(X) is NOT Clark Kent(Y) just because it seems as if Clark Kent cannot fly. She must know that Clark Kent cannot fly in order to say Superman(X) is NOT Clark Kent(Y). In simpler terms, just because she believes one thing does not make that thing automatically true.

Apathetic

Tone Word: Apathetic

Definition: An apathetic tone is one in which a lack of interest, enthusiasm, and concern is felt and expressed through the actions, thoughts, and/or words of the character(s). The characters’ apathy is seen when they are neither happy nor sad about what occurs but act completely stolid and unemotional. In a text with an apathetic tone, little or no progress is seen through characters’ emotional growth, but they only tell the story to have it be told and over with.

Literary Text: *"I Am Apathetic"* [1]

Apathetic Toward Life And Death. This goes pretty far back, to even my childhood, but I've never quite been able to feel anything toward the death of people, or the birth of new ones. I'm overall apathetic to most things, but nothing like those two. 2001, I was going to class one day and felt like something was amiss, I brushed it off and went to class, just to find that the trade centers were hit that same day. Most people in my class put hands over mouths, cried, looked in shock, but I looked at it thinking "huh.", went back to drawing a picture. I had family that was in there, so It's not like I didn't lose someone too, but In my mind it was more like "if not now, then later." feeling, same when anyone I know dies, or anyone in general. The same goes with bringing life, I see a birth, or a baby, or people helping others out of bad spots, and wonder why. It's like the "if not now, then later." has been stuck into my mind about life and death, including my own, making me a lover of adrenaline fueled activities. But oh well, you win some you lose some, that's life.

Tu Quoque

Tu Quoque (You Also) Fallacy

A Tu Quoque fallacy is the rejection of someone’s argument due to their lack of consistency; or being hypocritical. In simpler terms, the person is being attacked for doing what he/she is arguing against. Whether the person’s arguments are good or bad is independent of his/her own beliefs or behavior. Implying that just because the person making the argument is a hypocrite doesn’t meant that the argument is is bad too.

An example in literature is when in the Language Archive by Julia Cho, the assistant Emma is madly in love with George who is giving him love advice on how to patch up his broken relationship with his wife, when in reality she is the one that’s in love with him.

And here is my image demonstrating Tu Quogue...

Suspicious

* ***~~Definition: Suspicious means to be openly distrustful and unwilling to confide. It is causing one to have the idea or impression that someone or something is questionable, dishonest, or dangerous. Signs and behaviors to look for in a suspicious text is a person running, a person carrying a weapon, unusual noises, and dark settings. All of these components add to what a suspicious scene might look like with eerie and mysterious characteristics.  gaf hahahahahahaha sussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss~~***
* susss susss if you see this i am tre trau
* ***~~b.             Example: In the book Medea, it was very suspicious of Medea to send her kids with supposedly sympathy gifts for the princess who she actually envied. Because she had this open hatred for the wife, Medea’s nurse, who knew her very well, was able to suspect Medea was up to something by sending over these presents with the lines, “I dread to think of what is hatching in her mind” (Euripides 1). The nurse was right, as it just so happened that when she sent her kids with these presents, it was actually a way to poison the princess and ultimately kill her. This was both distrustful, dishonest, and dangerous because it was a known fact that Medea had problems with the princess, as the princess was the new wife of her husband, so, when she was appearing to be friendly with her, things were suspicious.~~***

Curse of Knowledge

Definition: This fallacy is not used as a means for persuasion, but it is more a lapse of logic. It is found mainly in a teaching setting whether it is in a school, a seminar, or a one on one relationship. The curse of knowledge is shown when an instructor - usually of high intellect - is communicating information under the assumption that the listener already has a strong grasp on the subject matter. In most cases it is unintentional because the speaker may not realize the gap in knowledge. There is difference between the curse of knowledge and boasting; someone may be speaking complexly in order to flaunt their intelligence and be fully aware of it. The main distinction is in their intentionality. A person under the curse of knowledge will not be aware of their audience because they are so used to conversing with people on their level.

Real World: In many classroom settings it is very easy for a highly educated instructor to enter a lecture unconsciously being in a mental state to teach higher level students. The teacher will most likely just skip the basics and graze over terms that are in need of explanation.

Film or Literature: Well displayed in The Imitation Game, Alan Turing designed a computer amidst World War Two, designed to decode Nazi enigma. Yes, because of poetic licensing some of the story was over dramatized, but it did portray the intellectual difference between Turing and his co-workers well. There were many cases in which he tried to explain his own invention - that saved thousands of lives -  to those in charge of him, but they could not understand his work and almost scrapped the project because of a misunderstanding.

Lorenzo however makes a new deal regarding the banking affairs with the Soderinis, who upon learning of their son Bastiano's marriage being called off were quite in despair.

Later Bianca gives birth to a daughter named Contessina.

Bernardo Guadagni

**Bernardo Guadagni** (1367 - 1434) better known as Guadagni, was Gonfaloniere of the Signoria during the life of Cosimo de' Medici.

## Biography

Following the death of Giovanni de’ Medici, Guadagni presided over a session in the Palazzo Vecchio to select a successor for Giovanni's seat in the Signoria. After collecting the paper ballots of the Priori in a bowl, he drawed that with the name of Cosimo de' Medici, subsequently proclaiming him Giovanni's successor. While some members raised objections, others were unsurprised by the supposedly random outcome of the vote. Shortly thereafter, Guadagni received news from a messenger regarding an invasion of Lucca by Visconti, the Duke of Milan, and adjourned the session at the request of Rinaldo degli Albizzi.

## Behind the scenes

A script for the pilot episode of *Medici: Masters of Florence* mentions Guadagni possessing a magnetized ring, which attracts Cosimo's ballot for himself from the bowl collection, signed with ink containing iron shavings. This shows Guadagni's alliance with Medici family, although this is not made apparent in the filmed episode.
