Mandela and pericles

1.Stephen Biko has in common with pericles is they both are honored for there deaths. they both were great people. They both were legendary heroes. They both are parts of history.

2.the reason it is important to mandela to keep alive the memory of biko is because he was a hero and he did lots of good things. he died in bad condition,officers beat him to death.His condition is what people remember.

Analysis of Women role

2. The speech in my perspective basicly ment these lady's gathering around to talk about people they think that mad a change in there lives. They honor those who have died for them to speak there mind, and for them to have right for there country. Like they honor Stephen Biko in south Africa prison because he fought for what he believed in. He was someone who lead the fight against aparthied. He was in a government policy of racial segregation it discriminated against nonwhites. he did good for his people.

Poems by Sappho

1. Of the three poems i think i best understood,He is more than a hero.The reason i chose this poem is because It speaks the truth about how he listens and the facts of god. He thinks of someone as one. Supporting and caring.

3. In The first case she discribes that human can be kind and have features such as beauty. In the second case she describes how she always gets support from god,when she needs help.Also to hear the sweet murmur of your voice.In case three i think it tallks about nature and cold days in spring.

4.The best sentence that apply to Sappho is the one that says "she appreciated the beauty of nature'' and the second one is ''she values intimate moments of friend ship''.

6.If Sappho's poems were to be set to music today,the comtemporary singer i think would do justice is kirk franklin because he nows a lot about god and could relate to Sappho.

Writing Option 2

2.The best teacher i ever had in a subject is my Biology teacher Mr.Miller because,he had a lot of good methods of getting me to excel. He went over the work with us in class,he explain it as well as he new how. He gave us useful information on how to do the work,and great tips. My teacher Mr.Miller is like drona because he helps people with school work,and those who wanna learn sugceed and those who don't pay attention don't are not succesful.

Think Through Mahabarata

1.My reaction to Arjuna is that he's like a very powerful weapon. I thought of him as strong like an arrow. Drona tested his student's skills in archery by giving them directions, and a bow and tellin them to hit the target. Arjuna shows that he is the best student by hitting his target. Drona reward Arjuna by giving him an outstanding invisible weapon that is named Brahma-head along with the instruction of how to release and return it.

2.Arjuna is different from the rest of the students because he is strong and puts a lot of work what he does. He killed an aligator with five arrows.

3.In the list of Arjuna qualities i think him killing the aligator would be admired in india the most.

4.Drona i think he's a good teacher because he gives good tips. He doesn't save himself from the crocodile because he wants to see what his students have learned.

5.I think indian parent still tell this story because they want people to now about the strong man and what great things he does.

6. drona reminds me of odysseus a great worrrior.

7.I think this listen could be true because the are many warriors that are unknown.

Ancient Literature and people

1. The similarites between the culture is they are both ancient. There different because mesopotamia cities arose, each existing independently as a city state. E ach state had its own ruler,its own army, and its own patrin deity,along with a towering temple or ziggurat built in his or her honor.They both also have religons.Old kingdom,new kingdom,middle kingdom.

Greek Culture

1.The religon of the ancient Greeks is different from that of the Jews , Christians and Muslims because the religion of the ancient Greeks had no sacred writings (such as the bible) and no commandments.

Egyptian Literature

2. The tone of the book the dead is that it describes Nus speech and his speech
and his speech is very strong and on point. It gives a lot of information. The
tone relates to the situation described in the text because they both talk
about how the person feels.

3.In the Adoration of the disk the speaker thinks that ra should be praised
because he brings life to the sun,earth when he leaves everything stops.


4.In im going down stream i think the speaker delights in dreaming of herself
standing like a bride because she thinks that Ra will find the one who is right
for her.

6.The selection that gave me the strongest sence as a speaker is whenever i
leave you i go out of breath. It gave me a strong sense because it talks about
someone really caring for another. There saying they don't want to be with out
one another. It hurts them to leave them.

7. In ways the 2 storys are different is because whenever i leave you i go out of
breath talks about a women in love with someone.Im going downstream on
kings water canal talks about a women wanting to find true love.

8.People of ancient egypt connect with the people of today's attitudes because
they both care about every second of there life,and they both care about when
there's a death.

Think Through Gilgamesh

1a. My reaction was is that i was shocked when i learned the result of Gilgamesh's Quest for immortality. Beacause i didn't know that event would have accured.
b. Gilgamesh wants to find utnapishtim because he explains that he is grieving over death of his friend and afraid of dying himself, he wants to learn the secret of everlasting life.
c.Utnapish tells gilgamesh the story of the flood.

3. Gilgamesh couldn't except the fact that human beings die because it happened to someone close to him, which was his friend.
4. I think the story end with gilgamesh proudly showing urshnabi the city of uruk because after traveling for a long time he had accomplished his journey.
5. The event in the story that i think had the strongest effect on gilgamesh is the death of his close friend.
6. I tink the story of gilgamesh might continue by staying at uruk and he would have added more gardens and portiats. I think he would have been a supreme ruler and king.
7. In our world today people take to death as emotional, and they cry. And sometimes they get so made or sad that people take there lives.

In the beggining of the story Nemo's dad was looking for Nemo down in the ocean,but he couldnt find. Marvin searched for nemo for a long period of time. Then he ran into a girl named Dori. Dori acted a little slow as in short term memory lost but,she wasn't a bad person. She said she knew where Nemo was so they set of to look for him. They searched for Nemo for a long time, they had to ask a lot of questions. But on the other hand Nemo was looking for his dad, and on his way of looking for his dad he got trapped in a fishing net. During this transition from water to land he was forced into a fish tank that he knew nothing about.There for he had to make friends, and learn how to survive. Then Nemo's friends helped him escape into the deep blue sea. Marvin and Dori got throw the jelly fish intensly amd got important information about Nemo.
