Tito The Minotaur

It was one gloomy night, no cars were out, and the only lights on were the hockey rink lights. It was getting ready to downpour and thunder started to rumble. The Tinkles hit the ice and began their warm ups. Just like any other warmup they would skate around the arena and after a little bit they would take some shots on their goalie. After time after time waiting for their opponent. A huge burst of lightning hit the rink and the power went out. Soon after, the rink started to shake and the ice split open. The lights turn on and they found their opponent.

Later one night the boy wakes up to the rain coming in the window and thunder

Soon the moonlight illuminated the scenery. As I was standing on the balcony admiring the scenery something finally went wrong, a huge black cloud covered the moon. I soon heard the thunder. It seemed to be nothing to worry about, so I didn’t acknowledge it. A few hours later the thunder grew louder and I could see the flashes of lightning headed our way. I went inside to inform my parents of the weather, but they didn’t seem to worry about it much until the cloud was almost over the lodge. My family and I left the reception alone while everyone else stayed in cover; they were the smart ones I thought.

One day while gathering some feathers to make more bows, she heard some leaves crackling behind some bushes and trees. She took out her out and freshly made arrows she linked the arrow to the tough string and pulled back, ready to shoot. Then she heard “No! Don’t shoot i’m not an animal,” shouted a manly figure slowly coming out from behind the bushes with his hands up in surrender. He looked lean and had a strong figure. He looked like a warrior. She later found out that he was prince Ares, the most skilled warrior in all of the land. They fell deeply

War is a life changing experience. In the novel All Quiet On The Western Front it presents itself many a time as a change for the worse. Not only do these soldiers lose friends, brothers in arms, they also lose their innocence. In the novel, the main protagonist Paul and his good buddies from school are barely nineteen years of age when they join the war. They aren’t soldiers they are only boys. They soon learn that fighting this war is demanding not only physically, but mentally, and emotionally too.

From the time that young Spartan boys are able to walk on their own, they are “plunged into a world of violence.” As I was watching the 300 film, I was able to recognize from one of the first few scenes that a 7-year-old boy was training and preparing to be a Spartan warrior. The young Spartan boys are tossed into the wild, but not for any insignificant cost. They are fighting for Sparta, they are doing their duty and showing honor not only to the people of Sparta, but for Sparta itself. Spartan boys are trained to become the best warriors, that will fight, defend and honor all of Sparta. These boys will show no pain or mercy, and they will do whatever they can to defend Sparta. This is the first image that I thought of when I chose to write about honor and duty in

Imagine that you are a boy in Sparta. If you were born unhealthy you would of been left outside the city to die. You live with your family for several years until one day you are taken away from them to become a soldier and when you come back your parents may be dead. This is part of education in Sparta. Although Sparta’s education had some strengths, the strengths did not outweigh the weaknesses. Male children were taken from their families at a young age, their training was very harsh and bleak, and they were also abused and mistreated.

Known as the strongest smallest military in ancient Greece with a government ruled by imperial rulers and having a hard working society. Sparta was better than Athens because it was stronger militarily and was more orderly in society and government. I would rather be a Spartan because its repsents a force of strength and power. Stronger powerful better trained army that, include a society with citizens that were more ready for war than Athenian. Government structure that was imperial and had all the resources a civilization would need to have a society.

Not many young men have the opportunity to experience the adventure that I had, and I hope that changes someday. It revolutionizes kids to become the best they can be, and Scouts use me as a perfect example. They didn’t think that I could make it through Scouts as far as I did because I kept silent. Boy Scouts taught me about how to live life and do it with confidence, and I can finally tell my story comfortably and with

Even though the soldiers join the war as naive youths, the war rapidly changes them and they develop into young men. Surrounded by death, the boys are bound to foresee the fragility of their own lives and are stripped of the carelessness and brazenness of youth. The dreadful horrors around the boys bound them to consider a world that does not accommodate to their childish and simplistic view. They want to only see a separation between what is right and what is wrong, they instead find moral doubt. Where they had wanted to see order and meaning, they only found senselessness and disorder. Where they wanted to find heroism, they only found the selfish instinct of self-preservation. These realizations destroyed the innocence of the boys, maturing and thrusting them into their manhood.

As a boy i grew to live to my families expectations, till they expected me to fight. I was born into a high class family expected to fight under the Otori name. My family gave me the name of Isami, they hoped i'd have the courage of my father. They would be disappointed. I knew that war was not what i was made for. Anything but war. When was younger i was taught how to survive, but more so on how to kill.
