...Bravery Odysseus was a virtuous and heroic leader. He and many other characters showed many acts of bravery. The bravery that Odysseus possessed was extraordinary and could have changed the story line completely if he didn’t use it as often then the story may have developed different. Odysseus’ bravery was tested in many adventures that he endured throughout the novel. This will be proven in many ways throughout the essay. Some examples of people that also showed bravery are Penelope, the herders, Tele, the suitors and even Ody’s crew. But the basic point im throwing across is that if no one had shown the bravery that they didn’t the story line could have completely gone in to a different direction. Some of the smaller characters that showed bravery every once and a while were Penelope, the herders, the suitors, and Ody’s crew. But the played a big part in the development of the story using the character trait bravery. An example of this is when Ody’s crew helped Ody using this trait. One example of this is when they were trapped in the Cyclopes’s Cave and they helped Ody build a giant six-foot long spear made out of a tree and then they helped him thrust it into the Cyclopes’s eye while he was sleeping. This was an example of bravery because they did this because they didn’t want to be eaten by the Cyclopes so they attacked him and succeeded. Not only if they hadn’t have done this then the story may have developed differently...

...History Vima How far do sources 1, 2 and 3 agree with the view that the charge of the light brigade was a disaster? On one hand there is a substantial agreement with the sources regarding the charge of the light brigade and that it was complete disaster. For example in source 1 it depicts the theme of injury and death, the newspaper referred to the majority of the soldiers as “wounded men” and when they were charging the Russian soldiers were “cutting them down” this shows that the battle of the light brigade was a disaster as there were many wounded men and vast casualties at such a short period of time. The theme of death and injury is further echoed by source 2 where it gives a more graphic representation of the theme of injury and death, The source says to back up this theme “A corporal who rode on the right was struck by a shot or shell full in the face, completely smashing it, his blood and brains bespattering us” this further backs up the theme of death and injury as the solider gives a very brutal and horrific example of death that occurred on the battlefield. Therefore this further supports source 1 that it was a disaster as there was very violent and horrific deaths. Also this was probably not the only example of horrific death on the battle field as cannonballs were flying at them from all sides. Nevertheless it is key to note that source 2 is a very credible source to use to back up this point. This is because by looking at the provenance of the source it was...

...“Marisol” is about a young, naïve woman who relatively has her life figured out. She goes to work, keeps her head down, and goes home. Her current reality is a place where apples and coffee are extinct while cows produce salty milk. She tries to hide her religion and culture from the people in her life so that she can fit in. Then suddenly, she was attacked by some supposedly crazy man with a golf club on a subway train who is going on and on about angels and the end of the world. She manages to escape but not without being infected with the mass hysteria. I believe this is when Marisol begins to slip through a different reality. There is a theory of alternate realities which indicates that there is a thin fabric of reality similar to our own but each reality branches off and continues on another path based on decisions made in our life. Since there is a war between God and the angels then it is possible with the death of the angels that other realities can tear and bleed into each other. I believe this is what happened to Marisol on the subway. I believe she slipped into her own alternate reality where she actually died on the subway. Therefore, as more and more angels perish, the more alternate and surreal her reality becomes. The confusion that she experiences further indicates that this isn’t her world anymore. When she is confronted with the reality that God is old and doesn’t care about Earth as well as an angel uprising, she refuses to believe that she can take care of...

...Fall of Asclepius By Harm 1 and Icrick Prologue Where should I begin? The apocalypse happened so fast. In less than a month, monsters infested every part of this world. People panicked, people died. They clawed at each other just to get out of all the infested areas around the world. There was problem about fleeing from infested areas. Everywhere was infested. There was no where anyone could go without encountering the walking plague. You know that phrase "War is Hell"? Well... it's dead wrong. War at least has some organization to it. What was faced in the last days... by last days I mean the last days of civilization not life; itself. What was faced was hell. Everyone went ape shit insane. Everyone was killing and raping each other into oblivion, because we were under attack by creatures that was so beyond our understanding! Geez, there were many names given to these undead. Some called them demons, others called them lost souls. With all these names, I found only one that was truly worthy; Zombies. It was a simple word. At the same time it was the most complicated word to enter any human language. I mean just think about it... You say that word to anyone before the outbreak and what would they think of? They would, think of those horror movies or comic books where, for no reason what so ever, zombies appear all around the globe in an instance. That's not how it happened for us. There were signs for over two months. It's just that no one took the time to put the...
