Bernie Bartolome October 22, 2012 A New Nation After much consideration and evaluation between the British and the Colonists, I remain my stance that the Colonists have the more reasonable and convincing position during the intolerable acts of tyranny from the British. With this, I have five arguments to support my opinion. My arguments follow: the Colonists had no representative in Parliament, they had not been under the English influence for generations, they wanted control over the affairs that the Colonists started, and the British enforced irrational taxes upon them. Through this justification, I understand the Colonists’ dispute toward the British through the American Revolution. Each of my arguments revolves around the idea that the British were unfair towards their treatment of the colonists, which compels me to justify the Colonists quarrel against the British.
Alexander The Great, fought in wars for his power rights and his empire, Macedonia. He fought for many ages showing how powerful and brave he was when he never gave up and fought on the wars that he did. Arrian, another historian who also knew Alexander says, “Whilst In war with Alexander, I saw how he made endless pushes to the enemy to win and to not give up. When he later died, I then took place of being captain from the great Alexander.” This is showing Arrians view on the wars that he and alexander The Great fought in. Alexander was very determined and brave enough to fight in those wars that he had won as
Are Cherokees a problem to many Georgians? Georgians have been upset and disappointed that Cherokees won’t move off their land because they now want to reclaim it. Cherokees were supportive to the British and on their side during war (U.S.) They also have created their own nation, language, constitution and more. The Cherokees have been disrespected, and to make up for that, the Georgians should let them stay on their land. My first explanation is about how Cherokees were helpful and on the side of the U.S. during some of the wars, but was never against them at all.
In Beowulf, an epic poem, Beowulf is the superior character who depicts the true meaning of loyalty. Beowulf feels in a sense he owes Hrothgar, King of the Danes, a favor because the great king had assisted Beowulf's father years back. Although Beowulf is the epic hero of the poem, he is not the only character that demonstrates the characteristic of loyalty. Wiglaf is a Geat warrior who exhibits bravery and courage while helping Beowulf fight and slay the dragon. Even though the epic poem had a devastating ending, it would not have been the same without the characters displaying their loyal sides.
Beowulf was intelligent in the way that he led his followers without letting fear get the best of him; strongly believing life was in the hands of fate as he went beyond all limitations, during battle, to achieve great honor and valor. Always not knowing what to expect, Beowulf demonstrated his great intelligence and confidence reiterating that “If weapons were useless he’d use his hands, the strength in his fingers (609-610).” Beowulf embodies quintessential characterizes of an Anglo-Saxon hero. He possesses unfaltering loyalty to his king and followers, strength as he is able to defeat each of his rivals, and courage though he is motivated primarily by his own perception of fate. Along with obtaining all the virtues of an Anglo-Saxon hero, Beowulf achieves his desire for immortality. He shows even after fifty-five years as king he never looses his ambition to protect his people and reinstate his title as the strongest and most honored

Loyalty Through the noble deeds performed in Anglo-Saxon originated epic, the ideal of loyalty is portrayed through the main character, Beowulf. Since he is the ideal thane, the failure of other knights to be as extraordinary as Beowulf makes him seem even more faithful and noble. Beowulf was loyal to all of his kin, kingdom, king, country, and his subjects. With this and courage he was a model thane, as well as king, for he was portrayed through the epic as the perfect warrior, and the most idealistic knight of his time. As described in the story, Beowulf is fiercely loyal; he has allegiance with all that are not enemies.
Beowulf Analysis The epic poem of Beowulf was written in a time period where the people believed in heroic warriors, and beastly creatures. It was written in an era of English literature when it was noted as being honorable and heroic to die fighting for one’s name or country. Literature during this era usually contained the protagonist as heroically larger than life, often the source and subject of legend or a national hero. For example in Beowulf, he is stated as being the greatest king to ever rule for his heroic triumphs. It’s as if it were written in order to gain pride in their country and its warriors amongst the rest.
The Anglo-Saxon By: Amy, Cris, Stefani, Jessica, abby, & chencho The #Anglo-Saxons were initiated in 449 B.C. The peoples native tongue and culture is influenced by English. The Anglo-Saxons were classified like barbarians but were really much different. They lived of warfare not of luxuries, “the Anglo-Saxon England was born of warfare, remained forever a military society, and came to its end in battle.” they believe they live only to support and protect there members from any enemies, and do not believe in an after life. An Anglos-Saxons belief is much different from the majority of the beliefs that we have today, but the religion, beliefs, and literature we have today in America, first initiated in the time of the Anglo-Saxon age.
