We Didn't Start the Fire

inspired my men with encouraging words, so none would hang back from fear” (Homer 17). You can imagine how heroic that looks. Odysseus’s men trust him - he would give them strength. If no one could influence people in a good way, we wouldn’t have motivation to do anything. We would be afraid of everything that seems scary or impossible and wouldn’t have the courage to try. In addition to Odysseus, the Hoyts are an perfect example of inspiring heroes. In the video Labor of Love it says, “These…

in the village and helped protect our home. We had three kids together, two daughters and one son. My son, Beshkno, is my eldest. He was quite the little man, and was taking after his father.

Apart from that catastrophe, my makeup is done! I decided to get ready early just so I could rehearse how I would act at the party. I see Matthew all the the time on campus but we only give each other that “ I don’t feel like saying hi to you but I want you to know I that dont hate you” smirk. Why am I so off topic?? How did i make it to college?? “Buzz”,my phone went, it’s Matthew! “Hey Zoey really excited to hang out today”…

Child Labor in the Industrial Revolution Imagine being seven years old and having to work in factors or the mines to stay alive. Children were useful as laborers because their size allowed them to move in small spaces in factories or mines where adults couldn’t fit. Children also were easier to manage and control and perhaps most importantly, children could be paid less than adults. In the 1800’s the Industrial Revolution occurred, this was a time that was brought by the introduction of…

of the Christian town called Salem. In the opening scenes a group of girls went into the woods, they were singing and dancing naked around a fire.

fighting with each other” not exactly there’s way more than that to even begin with. Before the Philippine American War started we were at war with Spain for no more than four months. Firstly, Spain didn’t want war with any country whatsoever, Later Spain promised Washington to end all concentration camps and make peace with them. But the United States didn’t buy it so they wanted to complete Spanish withdrawal from Cuba and a recognition of Cuban independence. Of course Spain let the…

As I went to bid farewell to my parents they asked me, “What is your plan?” To which I responded, “I don’t have a plan, I am just going to work things out.” They tried to persuade me that I shouldn’t leave, but I was adamant that I needed to start a new chapter in my life. “Why do you want to go backwards?” was a question they both asked me, and one I couldn’t answer. I had already made up my mind. By choice I left behind a life of comfort with only a backpack and a suitcase. It was…

the sight of dusk upon us. It was on this day that my life almost ceased to no longer exist. On this day, my friend and I decided after school we would ride our bikes to her house to play video games just before choir rehearsal. Once there we decided instead of video games we would play with the neighbors in the apartment complex where she lived. As we were playing our infinite round of hide and seek the neighbors mother called “girls it’s time to come…

character traits that we as people possess today. To start off, the dragon had something that was very important to it. The dragon had a massive collection of treasure. Valuable and beautiful pieces of gold and silver were hidden in a cave that the dragon guarded. In the book is says “there was a hidden passage, unknown to men” (lines 2213-2214). He didn’t want anyone to find and take his hoarded treasure (line 2213). This act of greed made him possessive over these things that didn’t even…

camera show a completely different scenario. In the video you can see how Mr. Dubose was slowly going away, when Tensing suddenly fire a single shot causing him to fall backward after firing. Tensing didn’t have a strong motive to fire arm towards the car, and the others two officers should said the truth (Patrik Jonsson, 2015). This case is the type of cases where we can see how the “blue code’ works everywhere. How the two partners agree with his story even if they knew it was a…
