Movie clip: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - The Cure of Theoden Amongst a vast plain lies the bustling city of Rohan. This city not alike others as it houses the greatest riders in all the lands and a grand wooden hall that houses the king of all Rohan; King Theoden. On most days people would go about their own humble business and avoid conflict within the city. This was not like most days.

While both In Dubious Battle and Uncle Tom’s Children present communism as a mode of social progress, Wright’s focus is undeniably racial and subtly more hopeful. In a 1944 essay for The Atlantic Monthly, he wrote about his communist enlightenment: “It was not the economics of…

Shakespeare’s Play Henry V My paper is going to discuss various genres in Shakespeare's Henry V; majorly it's going to be centered on tragedy, comedy, and history. Besides, it also going to discuss some themes, symbols, and motifs. Be that as it may, in turning into an extraordinary ruler, Henry is compelled to act in a way that, where he as a typical man, may appear to be corrupt and even indefensible. With a specific end goal to reinforce the solidness of his position of…

On December 15, after a long five day fight the Confederacy won a great victory. The Union suffered just under 13,000 casualties to the Confederacy's 5,300. At the outset of the battle Union general, Ambrose Burnside tried to cross Rappahannock River but was delayed because of the wait for pontoons to arrive, which took 10 days. When they finally did arrive and they started to build along the river, the Union army faced great resistance from Mississippians. Burnside ordered the town to be…

The Battle of Midway was fought in World War II. The battle occurred between 4-7 June 1942, but on 5 June 1942 the United States Navy defeated a Japanese attack against Midway Atoll. This marked a turning point in the war of the Pacific theatre. Due to the United States being able to break codes, they could anticipate and takeover Japan’s planned ambush of its few lasting aircraft carriers, imposing permanent damage on the Japanese Navy under Admiral Chester Nimitz. Nimitz interpreted the codes…

Rating On a scale from 1 to 5, I give The House of Hades a rating of 4. There were many interesting parts and there were some parts that I tried not to fall asleep on. Some of the interesting parts were when Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase were in Tartarus fighting monsters, slowly dying. They are met with past enemies and make unforeseen alliances. In the Prophecy of Seven, one of the lines say, “And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death”. Their foes in the story are Bob the Titan, AKA…

It is still May, almost June now. May was mostly rainy and cold but June is always warm.Today It was warm and the sun is shining at its brightest. It was a good morning the light from the sun was beaming through the window. I can't wait for today to start. The air smelled like it always does after a patch of rain goes by. I get out of bed go down and go to the the door and step outside. There was a slight breeze in the air. But it is no longer fierce and fighting the trees trying to pull and…

sculptures that were located directly underneath the pediment of the Parthenon. There were ninety-two, and they all represented incidents of the battle between Lapiths, a group of people that lived in northern Greece near the mountains, and the centaurs, mythological creatures that were half horse and half man. The battle is meant to represent the battle between civilization and barbarism and was a popular subject in Greek art. This supports how the Parthenon, not only was just a mere building,…

For instance something that interested me that I found was that the Arabian horse is the oldest purest horses alive. As the Arabian Horse Association (2016) points out “Bedouin tribes zealously maintained the purity of the breed. Because of their limited resources, breeding practices were extremely selective.” Basically this is stating that the Bedouin people were very strict about how they breed the Arabians and how the Arabians have kept their purity for such a long time due to the strict…
