Name: Travis Hallam Course: E211 Entry #1 Date: 9/24/17 Module #1 Reading Completed: Beowulf Lines 1-1650 Reflections: Beowulf was a brave warrior and a noble fellow in his youth. He shows this by his fights with Grendel and Grendel’s mother. Beowulf will never back down from a fight and stays true to his word until death. With these victories he is characterized as a hero and he has a feature of strength. He told people he was a hero after he helped stop the plagues at Denmark. Before this Beowulf
Although the role of the government found in Beowulf and in King Arthurs societies had basically the same functions (to protect the people from invasion and provide safety and order within the community), each government was set up with some drastically different ideologies. The ideologies that perhaps governed the formation of each government were defined easily by the time periods in which each work was written. Both governments describe leaders (Kings) who are honorable and kind to their people
Compare and Contrast Essay between Lincoln’s Address and Thucydides’ Address These two formal texts have both similarities and differences amongst each other. Both speeches serve a purpose of honor and recognition. They both honor soldiers for their service in the war who died for their country. But the differences are quite different themselves. In Lincoln's address he is more focused and determined to set the future for the Americans so the country can have a better purpose in life, while Thucydides
When thinking about the stories told in the Medieval Ages, many people today might picture a knight, hero, or king that represents as a role model for us people. Two books, Beowulf translated by Burton Raffel and The Once and Future King by T.H. White are two examples of stories told at completely different times, by different authors, that include hero’s. In both stories there are similarities and differences that can spotted between these character’s heroic traits. Both Beowulf and King Arthur
Beowulf versus King Arthur Courage, perseverance, and honor are all traits of a hero. Beowulf and King Arthur both share many qualities of a hero. The epic of Beowulf is about a great Geat that defeats the horrid Grendel of Denmark. The story, Once and Future King, is about the great King Arthur and how he became king and his reign in England. Beowulf is a fearless leader that defeats great monsters and deadly giants. Later in his life he defeats Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and a dragon. King Arthur
Chapter Four: Todd Grayson & lAPORSHA BROWN Todd grayson is unkind, courageous, jealous, and seemed to be showing a few traits of his father, Shawn. Todd always seemed to have a odd look on his face, as if he was hiding something. At only 6 years old he was caught shop lifting on numerous occasions and was already starting to hang out with a few of the bad kinds on the street. This put his mother Laporsha in a tough spot when it came to her parenting. She wanted all the help she could get for
Can you see the light? As the burning of petroleum-based fuels, natural gases, and coal continues, smog will continue to cover the sky. Pollution from said burning occurs as greenhouse gases and chemicals. Specifically, petroleum-based fuels, natural gases, and coal release energy when heat breaks the bonds between hydrogens and carbons, generating energy and releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. This energy often originates from stored energy preserved in organisms that eventually died
effects of a light ray reflecting at different angles of incident from a convex, flat, and convex mirror. In the second part a light ray will be refracted through a rhombus prism at different angles of incidence. We will measure the angles using a protractor. For the third experiment we will examine the indices of colors as light is refracted through the rhombus. Lastly, we will use polar lens to examine Brewster’s angle and polarization. THEORY PART A: REFLECTION When a light ray hits a point on
I have always been interested in the way light travels, not just in how, but also in all the other factors that affect the light rays, including the speed, the velocity, the distance, as well as others. In my past years of school, I had been able to explore areas of physics concerning light rays, as part of my physics course. However, I had previously only learned the basic principles, such as the laws of refraction and reflection. Because I chose to focus on Chemistry and Biology, I was not given
