...Book Citation Pomeroy, Sarah. Women in Hellenistic Egypt: from Alexander to Cleopatra (New York: Schocken Books), 1984. Author’s Goal The author’s goal in writing this book is to inform people about ancient women, focusing more on Egypt and sounding areas in the earliest centuries, from 2nd century through the 4th. Women were not very popular in ancient times; therefore people know less about them compared to men. Because of this lack of information many people argue about the status of ancient women. That is why Pomeroy wrote this book, she wants to provide as much information about ancient women as she could, to inform her readers. Pomeroy also tends to focus on the women who achieved great goals in life, as to say that even women in...

...assignment I am going to be talking about a complex piece of work that I have already done for an assignment, and I will be explaining the value of 3 different resources and evaluating the 3 sources in terms of validity. The 3 resources that I am going to be talking about are: the internet, a text book, and NHS facts. I found all of these resources useful in different ways, and also reliable in different ways. I chose these particular resources because I have many opinions about them, some good, some bad. The mix of opinions is good because I can discuss both sides, and have a good balance between the opinions. The internet The source that I will be talking about first is the internet. The use of the internet helped me a lot with the assignment, this is because I was easily able to just search up what I needed to and then was able to put it into my own words and add it into my piece of work. I think that it also made my work better because I knew that the websites I was using were reliable and all the information in them was correct. And I think that this made my work good because I knew the information was correct and knew that I didn’t put anything in that was incorrect. Another way that it helped to support my work was that it was quick and easy, it gave me the answers straight away, and I didn’t have to take ages looking for the topic that I needed to know about in a text book. I used bitesize a lot, this is because the information that was on the website was easy to...

...The research of this paper were supported by three books as well as several articles from the internet. Using these secondary sources will allow this paper to discuss how the Medici family played a strong and major role in Italian Renaissance, but more specifically in Florentine civilization. All the sources used for this research were carefully selected to get the best and most useful information about the Medici family, Florence, and Italian Renaissance. Most of the sources had more or less the same general information, with some sources giving more detail about certain topics than others. The first book used for this research was Renaissance: Great Ages of Man. This book was written by John R. Hale and editors from Time-Life Books. It was published by Time-Life Books Incorporated in 1965, Virginia. Because this book was mainly about the Renaissance period as a whole, it did not have as much information on the Medici family in comparison to the other sources, but instead expounded more on the Renaissance period itself and Florence. The way this book was written was similar to a very thick chapter book because looking at the pages was like...

...First impressions are a huge part of life especially when it comes to literature. It can be hard to keep someone absorbed in reading a book if his or her first impression of the book is not good from the get-go. If a person is not hooked from the beginning they may lose interest and may not want to continue reading the book. Capturing a person’s full attention right away is essential. In order for a writer to capture his readers’ attention, the author has to develop a good hook to reel his readers in with. For a writer to insure his hook will catch his reader he must have it at the beginning of his writing, it must raise questions in the readers’ head, and it should contain some key elements to the story. The beginning of a story lays the outline...

...book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other various material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page. A book produced in electronic format is known as an electronic book (e-book). Books may also refer to works of literature, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature. In novels and sometimes other types of books (e.g. biographies), a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, etc.). A lover of books is usually referred to as a bibliophile, a bibliophilist, or a philobiblist, or, more informally, a bookworm. A store where books are bought and sold is a bookstore or bookshop.

...gained much knowledge from taking the time to read an informational non-fiction children’s book. I realized that if I were to find a concept in a children’s informational book that interested me, I would gain knowledge I didn’t realize I wanted or needed as a sophomore in college. For our final analysis, I chose the book Exploring the Deep by Chloe Rhodes. In all honesty, I didn’t have a lot of choices for books that I really wanted to read, but Exploring the Deep stood out to me because I realized that our oceans are wondrous and full of mystery. This strange and interesting piece is a fantastic non-fictional book for children who want to learn about the planet’s oceans and everything that occurs, lives, and is found within it. As soon as I began reading I found the book very intriguing. It captivated my attention, and taught me things I probably never would have learned in the rest of my years living. This book was filled with interesting facts about our planet’s oceans. It gave significant details of some living creatures that make the Earth’s oceans their home. Along with giving detailed facts, there were very real pictures of the wildlife that lurks beneath the waves, allowing children to associate a picture along with the extensive information that Rhodes was giving them. Along with the fascinating living things that lie in the water, the author also gave the reader information on just how big our oceans really are, and how utterly important they are to our ecosystem...

...The book documented what had transpired in the 1970s, the rise of school activism. Wherein, the Mexican-Americans took a stand, and fought for the school integration for their children, and this generation to exercise their inherent rights to equal quality of education as citizens of the United States. They made a decision to fight against the discrimination in education. Without the activism calling for reforms, we do not know what school system we are in...

...Henry Ford At the beginning of this semester, I chose Henry Ford from the American History as the subject of my research project. I chose Henry Ford as the subject because I learned something about him when I was a high school student. And I have a car of Ford, but I didn’t remember anything about Henry Ford now. Therefore, I decided to choose Henry Ford as the subject of my research project because I want to know more detail about Henry Ford and his company. After I chose the topic, I read the tips and guidelines of the research project carefully. Then, I started to research the project of Henry Ford. First of all, I used Google to search the information about Henry Ford. I found some websites which introduce the life and achievements of Henry Ford. After I got some general information of Henry Ford, I started to do my PPT. I divided the PPT into four parts, which were overview, early life, Ford Motor Company, and later years. As required, the first page of my PPT is title page. I found a picture of Henry Ford and put it on the title page with the topic. For the second page, I decided to use it to introduce Henry Ford roughly. The second page is an overview of Henry Ford. Then, I talked about the childhood of Henry Ford on the third page. I thought that the childhood was an important period for Henry Ford after I read the resources which were from the internet. The childhood influenced Henry Ford a lot and lay the foundation of mechanical ability and leadership for Henry...
