Greek revolutionary workers did lots of work to promote their ideals into the minds of all Greeks; the president of the revolutionary government, Alexander Mavrocordato, talks about Greece’s freedom and it’s sovereignty in his “Declaration to the Christian Powers”, with its own government and peaceful operations. As the president of his government, he would want to portray the status of Greece in a good light to appear stable and not a target for other countries, especially Russia, and to instill pride in the citizens in the fact that their revolutions were a success (Doc 10). He and many others worked to make the Greeks feel that this revolution was their ticket to saving their culture. They work to bring together their people so that they all have a common goal towards their freedom. Other people worked to spread ideas of nationalism through poetry and other literary means.

He was bailed to re-appear at the court on October 3. Veteran homicide detective Sergeant Ron Iddles said before the hearing: ''The people have gone out to, I suppose, challenge them, find them, find the reason why they threw the eggs and, sadly, now one of them is dead - all over someone throwing eggs.'' A relative remembered how happy and beautiful Ms Mercuri had been at a New Year's party this year. ''It was the best party - we had a great time didn't we? Fireworks in the park on the corner.''
Each band wears different colors and features cheerleaders.

She is a true beauty, and although she and Jay are no longer a couple he can't forget her. He's hoping she will turn up at a party someday. I'm going to read a part from the third chapter which describes Nick's first impression of the life of Jay Gatsby. Quote p. 39! The image I have chosen is a cover picturing many details.
During one of Gatsby's parties, Daisy connects with Nick, and she makes a statement saying how “These things excite me”(Fitzgerald 105) explicitly stating how she loves events such as parties. Later that night at the party, “she once more responds to an emotional situation with anxiety.”(Fryer 163) Daisy tries to manipulate Nick into doing sexual activities. She says “If you want to kiss me any time during the evening, Nick, just let me know and I'll be glad to arrange it for you. Just mention my name, Or present a green card. I'm giving out green-”(Fitzgerald 105) By revealing this information, it is discovered that Daisy did this to feed her own desires.
"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is a jubilant mix of laughter, longing, forgiveness, sacrifice, commitment and, above all, balancing family obligations against true love. Throw in a gregarious group of Greeks and you've got the makings of a fun -but fluffy- 1 1/2 hour escapist film. Based on the one-woman play by Nia Vardalos, the film came to be thanks to another passionate Greek woman and her husband - otherwise known to moviegoers as Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks. Wilson saw the play, fell in love with the theme and the feel of the production, and provided the backing to make Vardalos' autobiographical story into a touching little movie. The story parallels Nia Vardalos' life to a large degree.
I got a piece of chicken from the buffet line and it looked great on the outside. I couldn’t wait to eat it. I kept looking at it while I was walking back to my table. My cousin that was around my age would just laugh at me because of the way I would look at it. I rushed to the table, sat down, and bit into the chicken.
One of the most and notable similarity is the history that we share. For example, one in Turkey can talk about the glorious “Conquest of the city of Istanbul”, in like manner; one in Greece talks about the “fall of the city of Istanbul”. Perhaps, on that account; not only in Greece there is small group of people who hates Turks but also in Turkey there is a limited group of people who hates Greeks. Another big similarity will be the importance that we give to the temples, the churches and the mosques in Turkey. Today, one of the most important touristic symbols of Turkey might be considered as Ayasofya.
