on the Indians. Religion is a touchy topic in our society today, but not as much as it was when the Puritans first came to the New World and tried to force the natives to their religion. This created a conflict that got so heated it was a cause of war. This conflict makes us wonder, who started the fighting?

I stumbled across an article on CNN.com about a Japanese Zero pilot in World War II lamenting the war and his country’s role in it. One point made in the article that caught my attention was “Harada said his main concern is that as his war generations dies out, decisions about Japan’s future will rest with younger people who have only known peace and never experienced the horrors of war” (Wright, 2015). That is a sobering thought and equally applicable here in the United States along with the…

was ruled by a fair King and Queen. One day, the King and Queen were blessed with a gift of a daughter, and they named her Ophelia. But something wasn’t quite right with Ophelia. She was born with a deathly illness, so the noble King and Queen asked for the most powerful fairy godmother in the Kingdom. “I do not have the power to cure the princess from her illness, but I can give her a gift to help her. The gift I bestow upon Princess Ophelia of Venlighed is a necklace.” The King and Queen both…

As the End of Days draws near, he has become a recluse of sorts, and refuses to associate himself more than need be with the rest of the Fallen. Aadinath appears to be slightly taller than Natalie, putting him at 5'5" or 5'6". He has ruffled, tawny hair that fades into an undercut in the back.

If the tombs at Vergina are indeed Aegae as the burial goods would indicate, one of them must contain the body of such a great king as Philip II. However, Philip’s son Philip III is also a contender for the occupation of Tomb II. Although possessing some sort of learning difficulty, Philip III took the Macedonian throne in 323 after Alexander III’s sudden death…

Address the question of how Greek democracy ended. Based on this week story reading understanding that I have learned and understand about the Legacy of Athenian Democracy. A Greek democracy season that starts following their downfall of Athens, I think Spartans play a big roll to provide a chance to the Athenians to substitute the government of the Thirty Tyrants with a new democratic system.
