After Tut died, a ritual of all dead Kings was to mummify them to preserve them and protect them in their afterlife. Egyptians believed that the soul of a person had three parts. The first was called the ka. It remained in the tomb after death, which is why so many items were buried alongside people in ancient Egypt. The second element of a person's soul was called the akh. It was the part of the soul that went on into the afterlife. In ancient Egypt, the third element of a person's soul was…

nothing like the taped versions played to me in class. " Te pareces a tu abuela, Mona. Soy la hermana de tu abuela, Linda." a lady came up to me and kissed my cheeks. The only words I could decipher from that sentence was abuela and my grandmother's name so I just smiled and nodded. When she looked away I wiped her sticky red lipstick off my cheeks. Statements like that continued throughout the day and when in doubt I just nodded and said sí or no. Someone could have said I smelled like fish…

Before Romeo meets Juliet his world is described as dark, gloomy and depressed, after he meets her, however, it is evident that Juliet brings him light.

Ben was too taken with the irony of the situation to be angry. They'd researched Sky Lassiters entire history since the day of her birth, which schools she'd attended, the grades she'd received, any violations of the law, her hobbies and ambition to become a dancer, and gained photograph's off the internet, and from school yearbooks. With all that, there'd been no requirement to search for her drivers licence, as to Ben, the job was a simple snatch-and-fly, and they'd only be together for a…

Term 3 Practice Narrative "Cuckoo, Cuckoo!" The clock struck a quarter past 5 in the evening. I jumped off my rocking chair and raced to the kitchen. I saw my beautifully baked pound cake had risen perfectly in the oven. It was ready just in time for Miss Caroline to come home to celebrate her first day of teaching in Maycomb. I put the oven-mitts on and began slowly taking the golden cake out of the oven until suddenly I heard the front door slam shut. I turned in fright, and the next thing I…

She was my absolute nightmare and was not a great significance for me. With Rebeca I had a completely different reaction from the moment her birth was announced. I was allowed to attend the ultrasounds with my mom, and every so often her regular cheek ups. This I feel was what gave me such a deep understanding on how important and delicate babies are. From the first moment I saw my little…

She was weak and scared; worry had infected her thoughts and spread through her veins as if it were venom. A single tear rolled down her cheek, staining the envelope that she was grasping onto, turning her cold knuckles pale, pushing it to her chest. The fear of what the truth held was like a thick blanket, trapping her inside her own mind, restraining her as her thoughts chased her…

In Matthew 5:38-39 it says, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also”. The reason I chose this passage is because in the Code of Hammurabi it discusses Lex Talionis or the law of retaliation or as most know it as “an eye for an eye”. In this passage I don’t necessarily think this is a good Biblical…
