The Killer Angels provided me with many interesting facts about the civil war. It really makes you think deeper into how bad their wounds were and especially how to cure them. Those men went into the battlefield, not knowing if they were going to walk out alive or not. One of the reasons why is because the medical field wasn't as advanced as it is now. Some doctors didn’t even know what they were doing, so you were lucky if you were in the hands of someone who did know. When a soldier was…

latitudes. Continental ice sheets can only occur during periods of extended cold. They are extremely large but still act like normal glaciers. Ice sheets still move along the land by the power of gravity. Along the way the glacier picks up very large boulders which are dragged along by the glacier and cut deep into the earth’s surface. “Common all over the world, glaciated valleys are probably the most readily visible glacial landform. Similar to fjords, they are trough-shaped, often with steep…

ranging from small sediments to large boulders while a hyper concentrated-flow lahar contains much smaller particles. The composition of the lahar influences the manner in which it flows, with large sediment size causing it to be more viscous while the smaller sediment size causes a much thinner slurry. Due to the high speeds that the lahars flow and the density of the mudflows, the lahars can pick up and transport debris such as vegetation and large boulders that are in its path and deposit…

In High School, we were assigned to read Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. We had a month to cover the play ourselves, after which we’d be tested. An entire month to read a book, like, less than half an inch thick. A Speech tournament later, I had three full weeks to begin. A swim meet … it’s cool. Two more weeks. Scouts, choir, church, math tutoring, another TV marathon, I’m sure people have read Hamlet in a weekend. I was going to be fine. I could still get an A—Easy.…

In this essay, I will argue that the Odyssey is in agreement with Achilles’ criticism of the idolization of early death in the name of glory, who asserts to Odysseus that life is better than death under all circumstances. This is displayed as Odysseus realizes chasing glory will inevitably end in his demise, preventing him from returning to Ithaca and regaining control of his oikos. This will be proven through Odysseus’ encounter with Polyphemus, his conversation with Achilles in the underworld,…

In other stories the two of them are…
