Daylight seeps in through the cracks under the door, as well as the voice of my lanista calling to us to wake up. “Up, all of you, get on your armor and get outside! Tomorrow the lot of you go into the arena, and I better have impressive results for the Emperor. I have bets on this, and I better come back richer.”, says the lanista (slave owner). The lanista approaches my door and says, “You better train, Mevia, Emperor Winter wants a good spectacle from you. The crowd isn't expecting to see a…
You are to gather information about one of the following topics in order to write journals in a Google Document about your life as a certain type of person alive during the Civil War. You could be: 1. A woman: What kind of clothing do you wear? What recipes do you cook? How do you spend your time? Are you at home or are you a nurse helping the wounded or do you help with the war in other ways? Are you on the side of the North or the South? Did you witness or see the results of an important…
Natsu has shown on numerous occasions to possess a high degree of strength, enough for him to perform a number of physical feats, among which are freely swinging around the mast of a ship as a makeshift weapon, doing the same with a palm tree he personally broke, bare-handed, shattering a billiard table and cracking most of its balls simply by hitting one of them with the cue. And on to the next character and that is Rei Ogami Rei Ogami Powers and Abilities Master Swordsman…
It was a dark, quiet night much like any other. I left my lair to feast on Hrothgar’s men. I was so hungry, something inside of me told me to turn back, but I couldn’t. My hunger pain had taken over. I crept up slowly and silently to the mead-hall where I spotted my prey. I had again felt this weird feeling to turn away and go home, but of course I ignored it. I picked out my victim one by one, and grabbed them off the floor swiftly and gnawed on their body limbs. As I reached for my next meal…
thought process children have when growing up with Barbie, as well as those who they look up to, based off her own experiences. “Let Women Fight,” by Megan H. Mackenzie, attempts to persuade the reader to believe that women should have the right to hold combat positions in the U.S. military. Both pieces have drastically…
used by peasants for corn farming (Medieval Chronicles). It had a handle that was about 6ft long with a 2ft long swindle. Agricultural flails were sometimes used by peasant armies entering into military services or those who engaged into rebellious uprisings (Medieval Warfare). The one handed military flail was designed as a combat weapon and was not used for anything else (Medieval Chronicles). They were very short, measuring up to 1 to 3 feet long (Medieval Chronicles). The flail was not a…

Killing from a distance, a goal which mankind has reached for since the stone age. This has been and continues to be the deciding factor in military dominance. But, can we go too far, is it possible to take this to such an extreme as to make human soldiers irrelevant? Even if we can go that far, should we? These are the questions we face in the 21st Century. As a military force, the United States has had ‘fire and forget weapons’ since the late 1950’s. These weapons have been able to detect…
Arthur Ashe, a winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, once said that “true heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.” There is a sharp contrast between these words and the aggressive depictions of so-called heroism that abound in popular media. Take a look around you- from movie posters to book covers, images of heroism defined as synonymous to violent masculinity prevail. In…
be allowed in Combat? Woman should be allowed in combat for many reasons. First of all allowing woman into combat situations would make our military more effective by putting talent into sections that were frowned upon before, it would help our forces become more modernized, putting women into combat situations would not break tradition because women have served in every war since the revolutionary war, and would put ability above gender. Allowing woman into combat situations…
