Blood-curdling screams resonated through the city of Méso and out. The sights of mangled people that looked like x was enough to subdue the strongest of warriors. All-around, children were astrayed from their families, forced to seek shelter alone; the only ones to comfort themselves in this wretched of times. The most difficult to stomach, though, was witnessing the aftermath of the quake. Thousands of people left on the streets, with nowhere to go, and no one to turn to. These violent tremors lasted days, and the monstrosity tore down any structure in its path. These days were long enough for Athóos, the king Méso of to devise a plan. “My people, though stricken with grief in these toughest of days should not lose hope, for I have found somewhere for …show more content…
He and the others left the sight of The Enomé people and took rest. He had no thought of what to do. He had let not only himself down, but all of those whom he promised a better life. The king decided to give it the night to think it over, and would decide where to go from there the next morning. As the Mésoians slept, Sympónia the goddess of compassion watched over, sickened with Dion and his city Enoménos. She was known to be incredibly selfless, and the turning away of the refugees beyond upset her. She scolded to herself, “Rejecting the innocent refugees betrayed not only mine, but all of Rome’s most earnest values. We are not these barbarous people, and I refuse to let Dion’s actions go unnoticed.” The next morning, shrieks from Enoménos were heard miles away by the Méso people. Athóos was deeply concerned, but he instructed his people to stay back, for Dion threatened their lives if they were to ever return. Hours later, the king still did not know where to go. In the distance, an Enomé man was darting towards them. He shrieked, “What have you savages done to our great city? Hundreds were found this morning lying dead in their beds! Our great Dion
He thought about how correct the man had been. They again started their way toward the city. Because of the time that they walked, they became weary. The journey back had to
Carloads, caravans, homeless and hungry; twenty thousand and fifty thousand and a hundred thousand and two hundred thousand. They streamed over the mountains, hungry and restless—restless as ants, scurrying to find work to do—to lift, to push, to pull, to pick, to cut—anything, any burden to bear, for food. The kids are hungry. We got no place to live. Like ants scurrying for work, for food, and most of all for land.”
He himself was lost. He didn't know what to do or how to react. All he knew was now he had to step up and become the next man of the
The citizens of San Francisco were rudely awakened on that historic Wednesday. The loud rumbling that broke the predawn silence lasted only about a minute. Yet the force of the earthquake toppled buildings and caused water and gas mains to twist and break. Almost immediately after the shockwaves ceased, fires erupted across the city and burned uncontrollably for three days. Over 500 city blocks lay in ruins.
In the story “ The Odyssey “ by Garreth Hinds, we can identify a universal theme of hospitality or “Xenia” in Ancient Greek Culture. For instance, when King Alcinous helps Odysseus when he was shipwrecked we can see the type of culture and manners that are expected by Greeks. Another prime example is when Menelaus welcomes Odysseus in Sparta and offers drinks and food. The author uses these examples throughout the story to reiterate the general theme.
In the southern region of Los Diablos streets and freeways throughout the county suffered surface buckling and fractures with bridges and freeway overpasses are partial severed due to widespread shaking from major super-quakes. The Wastelands endure hundreds of aftershocks causing deadly landslides making rescues difficult leading to more destruction and more people being buried underneath the rubble. Mega tsunamis engulfed popular tourist attractions killing thousand within seconds as the cataclysm city is a concrete graveyard of countless skeleton bodies wedged in their vehicles and others scattered throughout the streets.
He started to cry, he crawled around the floor trying to find something to help him. They’re coming for you.~ And when they get you, you’ll suffer even more, we’ll be showing our faces. Ahahaha…
On the other side, system’s actions can be treated as signs of alienation caused by the catastrophe. The house behaved like a survived victim of the catastrophe. A shocked person tries to hold onto habitual things and processes as he or she cannot abandon this last illusion of a previous normal life; even if these actions are useless. The house behaved the same way: Each day it prepared meals, cleaned rooms and took other measures to make its owners’ life comfortable. But all these actions were mechanical repetition of a previous normal life.
The Ancient Greeks are known for their emphasis on values integral to their society. Among the five fundamental values, glory, loyalty, intelligence, bravery, and hospitality, this essay will focus on analyzing the value of hospitality. Hospitality was an essential element of Ancient Greek culture, and its significance can be found in various works of literature from the time. Throughout the text, the value of hospitality is demonstrated in various ways, including the treatment of guests, the concept of xenia, and the consequences of violating hospitality.
When Tenochtitlan was destroyed, the warriors “stared at the ruins of their city in dazed silence, and the women and children and old men were all weeping” (p.122), nevertheless they persisted and survived these events. The Broken Spears show the conquest’s emotional, human impact on the natives, despite the subjectivity this might entail. Nevertheless, the events ring true, and have been academically vetted—leading to suggest that this account is historically accurate,
By conveying Calypso as being desperate, the author demonstrates the way in which Greeks did not value having desperation. Thus, the characterization of Calypso as being beautiful, having hospitality, and showing desperation illustrates that the Greeks have approved of only two of Calypso’s
More people began appearing on the streets. Women with buckets of fruits passed by yelling, “please buy.” I saw kids with holes in their clothes and stained all over in the middle of the cars begging for Money. Elders with straps of clothes were dragging their belongings with no help from others. The walls of the houses were full of graffiti.
Introduction The purpose of this essay is to investigate the women’s role in Classical Greece society and literature (5th/4th century b.C.). Therefore, I decided to discuss and analyse one of the most controversial comedies of that time, “Lysistrata” by Aristophanes. This text shows how women, sick of their submissive and powerless position in the political scenario of Athens and Sparta, come on the scene and, through a smart stratagem, achieve their expected result.
Ayato had lived in the 20th Ward with his sister Touka, and their father Arata. While he was younger he had been such more dependable on his sister and scared of bugs. There wasn't a time that he had wanted to be away from his sister he had looked up to her. He was told he was like his father while his sister was more like their mother. While he had been living with them he had wanted to listen to stories from his father.
Our prayers are with them, we say We unite as nations To aid in times of despair Yet millions, half of them children, starve Fall ill, die As we struggle to join hands And recover our unison He lay face-down in the ruin Drowned, drained, driven away Home taken, life shaken Forced to flee Capsized by overflowing hearts And shaking hands
