“The greatest fear of harm doesn’t come from any bomb, the moment you refuse the human rights for just a few what happens when that few includes you”(Brother Ali). This is an appropriate quote because this excerpt from the song Civil War captured what Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is trying to portray, and what is happening today in modern society. For years now Muslims and people from the Middle east have been judged and accused of being terrorists solely based on their ethnicity and religion. Not
due to their cultural backgrounds make Achilles and Beowulf respectable heroes. Beowulf is an epic hero because he is strong and brave. He saves his people on many occasions. For example, “twelve of the bravest Geats/ Rode their horses around the tower, / Telling their sorrow, telling stories/ Of their dead king and his greatness, his glory, / Praising him for heroic deeds, for a life/ As noble as his name.” Beowulf
The Third Crusade, also known as The King’s Crusade, took place in the year from 1189 until 1192. The Third Crusade started because of the want to take back the Holy Land, Jerusalem. King Richard I was a very important and ambitious military commander during the Third Crusade, the Turks were reckless, yet valorous, and the Christian-Muslim relationship at the time was not positive.

Let’s go in this shop,” my mom said as she entered a small boutique. The store sold an extensive collection of home décor, ranging from intricately painted plates to eccentric, sculpted-chicken trinkets.

Why is Terrorism Successful The TSA had screened 638,705,790 passengers. In total the U.S. has stopped 50 terror attacks from happening since 9/11 (Fifty Terror Plots Foiled). Alan Dershowitz exemplifies how cheap and practical Palestinian terrorists can be. Generally speaking in his newest book, Why Terrorism Works, Dershowitz squabbles contently and persuasively that organized international terrorism is a phenomenon largely caused by our statements and actions. Dershowitz explains that bargaining
Imagine you are in a room which is painted your favorite color. Your favorite pictures are hung on the wall, and it is the perfect place for you to go to be alone. What you just imagined was the setting. Setting is an aspect of writing that is often overlooked, but a book is literally nothing without setting. Marie Lu is the author of the Legend trilogy.

Why Marching Band is better than Sports: Since I was young band has been a huge part of my life, and while I may be a bit biased saying so, band is one of the best organizations that a school can have. But I’m not going to just leave it at that, after all, I’m sure every football player and their parents would disagree. Even some band students don’t believe that any type of band program is worth the time or energy that most band directors ask of them. So I will provide evidence proving my main statement
Beowulf v. Achilles Have you ever read a poem with an “epic hero” in it? If not then you’re in luck to learn a little about two “epic heroes.” Beowulf is from 500 A.D, and Achilles is from 800 B.C. Beowulf fought monsters like Dragons and a strange giant that could carry thirty men all at once.
