to the task of concealing the body.” (p. 5). This quote proves his lack of sanity because it shows how he was aware of what he was doing, but killed his wife anyway, out of rage. This was told very factually, without any emotion. He does not really dwell on the fact the he just killed his wife, he just moves on to where and how he will hide the body. People trying to prove that he is sane may argue that his actions were just plain cruel and terrible, but not insane. This would not be right…
heroes. The character Gilgamesh has traits of a typical hero and should be recognized as one. One reason Gilgamesh should be in the typical heroic rank is because he was called to go on a quest. For instance in the book The Epic of Gilgamesh, “There dwells in the forest a fierce monster Humbaba [You and I shall] kill [him] [And] wipe out [something evil from the land]. The haunt of Humbaba is a hopeless quest”…

Cassidy is performing a contemporary dance to the electro-soul song “Worry” by Jack Garratt. I started by looking at the word “worry” and what it means. Worry is defined as to give way to anxiety or unease; allowing one’s mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. It is someone who has lost interest in doing things they normally enjoy, feeling hopeless, their movements are restless. When listening to this unique song - the tone, emotional lyrics, and beat, I tried to set the frame of mind the…
God did not allow his announcement of deliverance to bring a worse life for his people. Moreover, Pharaoh upon hearing the message from the Lord through his servant Moses and Aaron that he should let his people go, became furious, imposing higher punishment on their daily labor. Especially knowing how hard the Israelites had labor for the Egyptians for so many years. Additionally, the Israelites were productive workers. Nevertheless, some of the Israelites did not only blamed God, but also Moses…
Moreover, the conclusion of the ceremony was a speech delivered by a top Athenian citizen. Even though, Thucydides records the speech from Pericles in first person, there can be some uncertainty that he wrote every single thing Pericles. Thucydides himself says that the speeches are not exact, but are meant to symbolize the key thoughts of what was said. Pericles was perhaps one of the most important and powerful Greek statesman, speaker and general during the Peloponnesian war. Pericles'…
Good morning on this very special day. I am Ava Pinette a 7th-grader at city school. To start I want to thank you for putting your lives on hold to protect our present and future.

But they’re forgetting who the real ones are. “Real heros don't wear capes, they wear dog tags and combat boots”.Today I…
I think Amir’s attempts, throughout the story, to make up for the rape situation make him a wise and good character. From Amir’s experiences, I have learned that a person cannot hold onto a major mistake they made in the past because it will just dwell on them throughout life. If a person makes a substantial mistake, they should apologize and learn to live with that mistake. Also, tragic events are not caused from an individual’s past mistakes. I think this quote summarizes the lesson of the…
This film impacted the way I evaluated my life. Considering all the hardships the people of Tooksook, Alaska endured: being treated horribly for embracing their culture, young children having to learn how to provide for their families at a young age, and traveling to places in rigorous conditions. Nevertheless, those struggles were forgotten when, the game of basketball was being played; it brought the whole community together as one. As a result: brothers, sisters, teachers, grandparents,…
Propaganda is a term that we have studied time and time again in history that can be expressed as art or text. Some people dwell on propaganda because they think it is an art of persuasion while others think it is used as a way of demoralization. Even though we often relate propaganda to historical events, it is also contemporary as well as it is often portrayed in social media. Fig. 1 Ron, Click On.
