Research Paper On Gladiolus

Decent Essays
Introduction:
There was a god named Gladiolus and a goddess called Ziarre. Gladiolus was the god of farming and crops. Ziarre was the goddess of the sky and one of the most positive goddesses. She had never felt down enough to cry. When Ziarre felt happy, the sky would be sunny and clear. When she feels sad, the sky would be cloudy and dark. She had 2 favorite assistants. Dara, who was the goddess of the stars, and Nimbus, who was the god of the clouds. They would keep her company wherever she went and performed errands for her. They were also her best friends.

Complication: Since she was so positive, the sky was almost always bright and sunny. This proved to be a problem for Gladiolus, who needed water to keep the world’s crops alive.

    The gods of Olympus play a large role of Greek religion, and is shown thoroughly in the epic poem and epic film. Although a similarity between the two versions is that the bright-eyed goddess Athena is in favour of Odysseus and through all her might aids him on his journey home, there is also a difference in these occurring scenes. In the poem written by Homer, Athena along with other great gods are often involving themselves with the lives of mortals, but only when in disguise. An example of this is set earlier in the poem; Athena wishes to urge depressed Prince Telemachus to search for his father, but she does so by disguising herself as an old friend named Mentes. This is in complete contrast in the film as Athena often reveals her true identity to Odysseus, although she has a choice in who can see her.…

    A field of red poppies in the spring is a beautiful scene, especially after a storm, as the dark clouds move out making way for blue sky. Seeing the wall of rain slowly come and go creates an eerie aura, as the cover of clouds filter the sun into twilight over the fields. This process is necessary for the poppies to receive the water needed for full completion of their cycle. Something often seen as harsh leads to the overall health of the flower, too much rain, however, could lead to the entire field of poppies being drowned out. The right amount of rain, sun, and nutrients all combine to create a beautiful appearance.…
