My favourite constellaton is Draco.I have chosen this constallation because Draco is Latin for dragon and dragons are one of my favourite creatures. Draco can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere all year round. This constellation is one of the modern 88 constellations and is one of the 48 constellatons listed by Ptolemy in the 2nd century. In Greek mythology, the dragon represents Ladon, who was killed by Hercules whilst he was trying to steal the golden apples that Ladon was protecting. In Greco-Roman mythology, Draco was slayed by a goddess named Minerva, who then tossed Draco up into the air. Draco was a dragon who had battled Gods for over 10 years and was known as one of the Gigantes. In my mind, Draco could have been created from the

    Freedom Summer, or the Mississippi Summer Project, was a volunteer campaign launched in June 1964 to attempt to register as many African-American voters as possible in Mississippi, which had historically excluded most blacks from voting. The project also set up dozens of Freedom Schools throughout Mississippi to aid the local black population. The projects leadership and funding came from the SNCC and COFO, along with hundreds of white college students in the north. In 1963, the SNCC organized a mock vote for blacks, which gave them a chance to prove they were capable of understanding politics. The civil rights activists from both organizations and the white volunteers from the north faced many challenges during the campaign.

    I was thinking maybe a Fire type to keep himself warm in those Siberian winters, but then I realized he should have a puppy Pokémon to have matched Steve’s Growlithe, so he grew up with a Houndour that evolved into Houndoom. Boom, Fire-type problem solved. It also looks fierce and badass, but is ferociously loyal and loving as well as protective, much like Bucky himself. So that’s one. He probably found it as a Houndour scrounging on the street somewhere in Brooklyn and Steve insisted they didn’t have the resources to care for it, but Bucky gave him the Face™, and he couldn’t resist, so it became his first Pokémon when he was a kid.

    To what extent was the Dreyfus Affair pivotal in shaping the political landscape of France before 1914? The Dreyfus Affair is France’s most infamous miscarriage of justice.1 From Alfred Dreyfus’s unfair arrest in 1894 through to the end of his rehabilitation in 1906, the Affair divided opinion in France. This division created two ‘hostile camps’ which filtered into France’s political spectrum.2 Whilst on one side there were the Dreyfusards, convinced of Dreyfus’s innocence, on the other, the Anti-Dreyfusards believed he was guilty. During this time, it was evident that politics were very quickly becoming more polarised and unstable once more.3

  • Comparing Dragons And Western Culture

    1262 Words  | 6 Pages

    According to Oxford University Press, a dragon does not necessarily have traditional wings or breath of fire, but is large and serpentine, with four legs and possibly two more wings. Many supposed “dragons” are, according to modern definitions, wyrms instead of dragons, having two legs and two wings with claws instead of four legs. This is a fairly recent distinction, as the term “wyrm” has many subgroups. Drakes are yet another variant of a dragon, with four legs and no wings, which, according to the Oxford University Press, are included as a type of dragon, but, as shown in the description of Smaug by Tolkien as “a fire-drake from the North” juxtaposed with several accounts of Smaug flying, this distinction is frequently overlooked. Such distinctions are also fairly recent, as, historically, the term “wyrm” has referred only to repulsive, evil, or dangerous creatures, which, in light of the guarded, distrustful stance most Westerners have had towards dragons, makes sense that it would be a more Western term.
