Spear

Snap! The sound of bones and cartilage tearing and ripping comes from a man suspected of treason. But should such a torturous method be used and is it a good way to get answers they want? “The purpose of torture is not getting information. It's spreading fear.” As said by Eduardo Galeano.

Such is true…

toga and appears to be eating. To the left of the couch is the goddess Athena, who wears an ornate chiton and holds a spear. On his other side is the messenger god Hermes, wearing a tunic of the same pattern as Athena’s chiton and sitting on a small stool.

Underneath the banquet couch is what seems to be a bowl or pan with food hanging above it. In the background…

Going back to the truck was a challenge because we were tired but we made it. Fishing was another activity that I decided to do. I would go fishing in the eastern part of the island. I would go spear fishing or boat fishing. When I went spearfishing, I caught a shark, but the shark was big that it broke my spear gun. I caught conch, lobster, and octopus as well. When I went boat fishing, it was fun. The only thing that I needed to make sure was that I only caught the limit that was allowed. If…

Love is a great thing, at least most of the time. Some people think of love as being close to someone and others think of chocolates and hearts. But people never think of the deep part, the hard part, the hateful backstabbing part. The word unconditional means there are no expectations or limits. To love unconditionally is a difficult thing, but true love really does love without trying to change the other person. Love means putting other people's needs equal to or before your own. Love also…

In contemporary times, the word “myth” signifies a misrepresentation of facts, rumors, or imaginary stories. According to William Bascom, “Myths are prose narratives which, in the society in which they are told, are considered to be truthful accounts of what happened in the remote past (9). In other words, a myth narrates important historical, religious, and social aspects of a period, but contains a famous cultural hero that mirrors that society.

They crave the same rush of adrenaline they get from hunting pigs, but as we soon learn human blood becomes more of a prize than pig’s…

way he looked, the weapons he brandished as the god of war, his powers as the god of war, and his title allowed Ares to have a large family. First is the way he looked and the weapons he brandished and “in art,Ares is generally depicted wearing a spear and a helmet” but Ares personality is very different from his appearance, “Ares was most often characterized as a coward in spite of his connection to war”(Greek God of War, September 19 ,2014).
