slowly crept closer and concealed himself himself
behind a tree. Out of curiosity, he watched for a
moment, trying to figure out what was going on.
Fiona pulled a daisy from the ground and, when she
did, there was a sudden burst of light coming from
a single petal. A miniscule figure emerged,
retaining the glow of the light. Fiona laughed and
said, Hello, Aquitaine. How are you doing this
fine evening? Tim watched the scene in quiet
amazement. He w...

Turn My Light Caves Entrance Rock

Only a few of my friends share my passion for
caving or as it is called in the professional
world Spilunking and it is hard to find a time
when we are all together and willing to indulge.
So one day last spring I decided to explore the
newly opened Rimutaka caves just out side the
city. I left early Saturday morning while the dew
was still forming on the green grass, taking the

brilliance of the sky scrapers and their fast

... terrify. (The Book Of The Ancient World, p 25)
The word government comes from the Latin word,
gubernare, which means, to steer a ship. Among
primitive people that live today, the leader may
be only the oldest person in the tribe, and
therefore respected. People tend to follow those
that are respected. (The Third Chimpanzee, p 220)
It might be that the leader of an early culture
might well have been the best hunter, organizer
and the strongest man in the village. In ancient
Mesopotamia, Greec...

Dead Sea Scrolls Jesus Of Nazareth

In 1947 an Arab shepherd boy was throwing stones
at the opening of a cave above him near the shore
of the Dead Sea. He heard a jar break and climbed
up the cliff to investigate. What he discovered
has revolutionized the study of the Bible. There,
in that cave, stuffed in jars, were scores of
papyrus scrolls covering almost every book of the
Old Testament. While other scrolls have been
discovered since, in caves all along the Dead Sea,
the scrolls at Qumran are by far the most
important as far as...

Everyones life has some difficulties, with which
one may arrive at a variety of resolutions. For
instance, if one has lost a love to something
other than death, he may simply discuss it with
his friends; if someone is troubled by family
memories, that person may receive counselling or

Return Home 5 Ln
885 words
The majority of the Odyssey is an account of
Odysseus adventures (or, rather, misadventures)
trying to reach his homeland of Ithaka. Several of
these adventures are false homecomings, the most
prominent of which is his imprisonment on Kalypso
s island. This false homecoming is strikingly
different from what one would expect of Odysseus
real homecoming, but similar enough for parallels
to be drawn between the two. Homer uses this false
homecoming to foreshadow Odysseus true homecoming.

Bury Her Brother Creon And Antigone
604 words
In many respects, Sophocles explains the meaning
of Greek justice in Antigone. On the surface, we
see Antigone as a conflict between divine law and
mans law. Antigone is the believer in divine law
and Creon is the believer in mans law. Sophocles
could have suggested one character as morally
superiority over the other. However, Sophocles
shows us how justice is equally mitigated to
Antigone and Creon. In pre socratic Greece Justice
will equally apply herself to both and favor no
one. While rulers...
