ACHILLES: The Brutal Killing Machine.

Achilles

Achilles was the greatest Greek warrior of the Trojan War. He was the son of the Peleus , king of the Myrmidons of Thessaly. He was also the famous husband of Thetis. He was the second of the bravest leader and warrior that I know besides King Leonidas of Sparta. Homer describes Achilles as a Courageous soldier, honorable man and respected leader.

              

Achilles and Hector.

         The first characteristic that is assigned to a classic hero by Homer is the reality that Achilles was strong and brave, and may even have god-like qualities. “Meanwhile, old Priam was the first to catch sight of Achilles, as he dashed across the plain, blazing like  that star which becomes at harvest time its light shines out more brightly than any of the countless lights in night’s dark sky” Illiad(22.35-39.220).

In Illiad book 22 shows that Achilles was unstoppable and unmerciful and he was not afraid in anyone. Just what happened when Hector made an agreement between him and Achilles but Achilles did not want his agreement but his life for vengeance. Achilles said this following statement “ Hector don’t talk to me of our agreements. That’s idiotic, like a faithful promise between men and lions Illiad(22.336-338.227).

                 

              

  Achilles was also compared to a falcon because he hunted Hector and he was stronger than hector. Achilles proved to the readers that he was not an ordinary warrior was when he cut the weakest part of a warrior between the neck and shoulder. But we wasn’t done with that he cut Hector’s ankle, threaded them with ox-hide thongs, and then tied in his chariot and drag around the battlefield. It symbolize that the troops of Achilles won and he finally proved that he was the greatest brutal warrior in Illiad by killing the greatest warrior of troy.

She May be the Face That I Can't Forget.

Genesis 2:18 

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” 

Athena

               Eve was the first woman on earth, the first wife, and the first mother. She is known as the “Mother of all living”. Eve was the companion of Adam and also his helper. One who would complete him and share equally in his responsibility over creation. Liked Adam she was created through God image.

            In history, women were married off at the young to men who were older than them. After the marriage, the married women moved to her husband’s home but that home was controlled by the husband’s mother. During that time women had no status other than to be a property of her husband. But the primary use of woman was that giving birth to a baby and it ended there.

                 Nowadays, women and men are now equal. Women have the rights what they don’t have in the past years. Before women are only “the light of the house”. She is the one who will do the household chores and also in taking care of their children. But now women are now working for just to buy the needs of the family. This situation is often if the only source of income is the mother or women.

          

        Since I was two years old my mother and my father had been separated. By the time of their separation, my mother was blame that she was steal money from there company but she was never did it.  According to her diary she had no lawyer besides her to defend herself even her father was not there. After one month after the trial she had chose to resign but she was thinking of me how she will sustain my needs. My father was a addicted in drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. When I read the diary I was so angry to my father and I finally knew what is the truth. I was also crying because what happened to my mother. I realized that she did everything just to have a great future. Even though we are not close to each other she shows her love by means of giving my wants and my needs. I am proud that she is my mother and my father. She worked as man in the morning and a responsible mother in the evening. She can do some of the things that man can do liked she can drove a car, a motorcycle, and also in mountain biking. She can be a man and a woman at the same time. I admired my mom because she work hard for us. Even though she was tired at work she didn’t forget to take care of us. Sometimes she helped me in doing my projects or assignment. I really love my mother not in what she gave me but in how he raised me as we were a happy family.

She by Elvis Costello:

She 
May be the face I can't forget 
The trace of pleasure or regret 
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay 
She 
May be the song that summer sings 
May be the chill that autumn brings 
May be a hundred different things 
Within the measure of a day

She 
May be the beauty or the beast 
May be the famine or the feast 
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell 
She may be the mirror of my dreams 
The smile reflected in a stream 
She may not be what she may seem 
Inside her shell 

She 
Who always seems so happy in a crowd 
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud 
No one's allowed to see them when they cry 
She 
May be the love that cannot hope to last 
May come to me from shadows of the past 
That I'll remember till the day I die 

She 
May be the reason I survive 
The why and wherefore I'm alive 
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years 
Me 
I'll take her laughter and her tears 
And make them all my souvenirs 
For where she goes I've got to be 
The meaning of my life is 

For the best mother in the whole wide world !!!! My MOTHER !!!

Genesis 2:23
“At last!” the man exclaimed.
“This one is bone from my bone,
and flesh from my flesh!
She will be called ‘woman,’
because she was taken from ‘man.’”
