The Historical Accuracy of The Odyssey Homer wrote The Odyssey in which Odysseus travels to many locations and comes across trouble trying to get back to his homeland, Ithaka. After a storm blows him off course he arrives at the Kyklops’ island. Then he sails to Aiolos’ island and receives a bag of wind in which his crew members foolishly open and they were blown back to Aiolos’ island. Later they sail past a monster which eats some of his crewmembers. Homer composes parts in The Odyssey that are fictional; however most of The Odyssey is accurate such as the locations and creatures that appear in the epic poem.
The Electoral College system is faulty and needs to be removed from the presidential voting system. “When they [the founding fathers] met in 1787 in Philadelphia, they were uncertain about how to pick a president. At the end of the summer, they arrived at a compromise – something of the best of the worst options; The Electoral College” (Watson n.p.). The founding fathers picked the Electoral College not because they liked the idea of it but because they could not think of a better option. The Electoral College system used for picking the President was not chosen as a primary topic in the constitution, as for instance the right to freedom of speech was, instead it was used for lack of a better solution.
There were many political reasons which influenced the increase of state control over society, for example the shell scandal. The nature of this total war left Britain unprepared, as it was nothing like expected, which left them ill-equipped in terms of ammunition supplies. The “shell scandal” of 1915 emerged due to a newspaper article suggesting that British troops had a lack of shells and so were unable to make headway. This called for greater control of labour and industrial war production rather than relying on private enterprise and the market economy to determine production, as this was clearly not working. This scandal also led to Asquith setting up a coalition government with the
Young Alexius the 4th could not raise enough money for the crusaders so he was kidnapped and imprisoned. Alexis the 5th was stricter and decided to not allow the crusaders in. Mourthzouphlos decided to launch an attack on the Venetian fleet and the ships were destroyed. Almost none of the crusaders ever made it to the Holy Land, and the unstable Latin Empire siphoned off much of Europe's crusading energy and Byzantine could not
Conclusion and Recommendation Because of poor visibility due to the weather conditions the lost towboat pushing six barges accidently bumped into the Big Bayou Canot Bridge knocking the track out of alignment. Causing the train to derail and plummet into the water. The Locomotive engineer and his co- pilot did not cause this accident and could not avoid it but they along with Amtrak was held liable. The
In this case, the innocent passengers on the boat were not warned by the Germans, like they were supposed to, that they were going to be blown up and sink the ship. Because of this unthinkable action, 1,200 had died, about 120 of them being Americans. We the citizens of the United States
So considering all of these facts in my point of view British government hasn’t got any rights to still keep them in their museum. The marbles should be reunited in their original nature so all of them will be together in one place. And some people argue that the marbles should retain staying in Britain because if they will return to Greece no one will come to watch them and it will be left in shadow. I understand how many people will come to take a look at marbles at Britain, but if they are so forward to have a look at them it won’t be a problem to take a flight to Greece and have a look at them. So why not
“…highway would ruin the environment and set a dangerous precedent by cutting through a state park.” (4) The 241 extension would bisect San Onofre State Beach, force the closure of a popular campground, violate California law by disturbing a Juaneno Indian sacred site on public land, and impact the surf break at Trestles, the world-famous surf break which remains the only spot on the World Championship Tour of Surfing in the mainland USA. Not only that, but it's poorly planned, woefully financed, and a massive inducement to traffic, I believe that building the toll road is not a relief to the traffic problem, but an aggravation. “It would be difficult to imagine a more environmentally damaging alternative location for the proposed toll road… no measures exist that would enable the proposed alignment to be found consistent with the Coastal Act.”
“The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.” ~ Michelangelo Buonarroti Michelangelo describes in the above quote what it is like to carve a likeness of a person out of a large block of marble. As we know from seeing his work, he did an excellent job with this task. Bernini did just as fine a job on his, but in a much different way as you will see in the following pages. Michelangelo Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese, Italy, a tiny village, owned by the nearby city-state of Florence. His father was the mayor.
Senator Barbara Boxer United States Senate Washington DC, 20510 Dear Senator Boxer, Hi, I am Marissa and I am a student at Warren high school and I strongly believe that reproductive cloning is wrong. I am against reproductive cloning because it can lead to an end of our humanity. Human beings are so unique and to copy an individual is devaluing to the original creation of a human. We are not a product to be reproduced we are imperfectly divine creations that need to remain with those expectations of humanity. Reproductive cloning in my beliefs is just not morally right.
