In this procedure, a large boat was built shortly before the burial. After the boat is buried, the body would be placed inside and around the body would lie all of the person’s riches including weapons, armour, field game equipment, and all of their gold. Again, necessities that would be used again in the afterlife. The reason why the deceased’s gold was burned with them was because when their heir’s become ruler of their kingdom, it’s their duty to earn…

“My son serves in the navy” is a sticker my mom has posted on the window. My brother loves to protect his country, and when he comes back home he reminds me, “I don’t fight this war for the country, but for my family”. My brother is unique from all others, instead of summing up the number of deceased; his goal is to get back home to us. Similarly, in the book The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, the soldiers drafted into the war fight daily in order to return to their loved ones. The author…

Hector, Paris’s brother, is forcing Paris to go to battle. Hector arrives at Paris’s house and he is just getting ready with his war armour and bow. In the book it says “ There in the high chamber, he found his brother fussing over his armour and playing with his great bow, like a girl making ready for a party, instead of arming himself for the war-host”(Sutcliff 36). As Hector is commanding him to go to battle Paris is not listening to…

Throughout The Iliad many scenes of violence occur. The epic poem is a poem of war, therefore violence is on every page. Violence is the leader in all conflicts, it is the leader in The Iliad as well as other great works of mythology. Violence is the keystone link between conflict and resolution. In Fagles’ translation of Homer’s The Iliad, the scene in which Achilles and Hector face off displays violence in three forms; the emotional violence of senseless killing ,the physical violence of war,…

The crusaders showed that they did have reasoning behind their actions, which was all in the name of God. However they were not valid because the brutal ways they dealt with people as in killing and destroying thousands of people's lives went against their religion. They believed greatly by doing this horrible actions that they would be doing good but in reality just affecting thousands of people. Most of the effects and influences the crusaders brought was bad but some helped the people of…

the lower society classed people were able to get a job in the military. It used to be that only the rich people who could maintain a horse would be able to join, but with the new democracy, the less richer people would be able to buy the sword, the armour, and the sheild. Now, if you were poorer than those, you were still able to buy an ore and be a part of the navy. This gave people opprotunities to get jobs and support a family. Next, this gave a opprotunity for people to vote. Back then,…

During WWII Hitler actively tried to control freedom of expression and thought. I think if my Renaissance invention was thought up during that time period without there being thoughts of it before. I think it would have changed the way the war went. I think that if no other armoured car/ tank was invented before WWII, I believe that Hitler would be the ruler of the world at that point in time. Without the tank or armoured car idea before WWII and the idea was thought of in Germany during that…

“What is Project Divine?” I asked Manson, who replied with an exasperated sigh. “It was a cancelled idea, a major leap in genetic modifications, like I had done with Damon.” Manson explained. “It was meant as a way of creating the perfect soldier, immune to pain, immune to death, basically the subject would become god-like. However, many of our scientists agreed the idea to be blasphemous and against the laws of nature which forced us to terminate the entire program, wiping out all evidence of…
