Ranofer, a young boy with 2 of his friends who are trying to find out what his older step brother Gebu is up to and when they find out they try many different ways to take him to justice. The most important event was when Ranofer went to meet Zau at his house when Heqet invited him, and Zau said he could become his pupil but Ranofer had to turn him down because his own lifestyle wouldn’t work with the one he wanted to live.
One of the main reasons why this is the most important event of the story is because this event gave Ranofer gave him his emotional drive to turn his life around. “ The subject appeared to be closed. Everything in Ranofer fought frantically against its closing, so …show more content…

This is also the event that led to Ranofer forming his spy plan to spy on Gebu, Wenamon, and Setma the river captain.” The story poured out- Gebu’s sandals, his head cloths, his ointments,his peculiar remark to Wenamon months before.” You are right. I know you are right! Isn’t it so Ancient? How else could a man become so rich in a few months’ time, unless pharaoh had singled him out for favor?””Now, what shall we do about it?” “But we can do something, that much is certain. We can find out more. I will watch Gebu, see where he goes.” “ His companions, we must discover his companions.” “Perhaps I could watch him.” “We will become spies.” This means that when Ranofer stopped to think about why Gebu needed his coppers he ran to go tell Heqet and the Ancient about what he had found out. This event happened to form the spy plan that they carried out and found more information on.But none of this would have happened without Ranofer going to meet master

    Castiel Sandoval Term Paper History 4 Justine Shaw November 25th, 2015 The Pharaoh Hatshepsut Queen Hatshepsut was the most successful and renowned female pharaoh to ever rule Egypt; and through her actions and strengths, while she reigned, showed she is an example to all of a strong and triumphant leader and woman. It is possible that from the beginning Hatshepsut was destined for greatness; her name for instance means foremost of noblewomen. Her father thought as much, Thutmose I and the man to bring on the Golden Age in Egypt, and trained her from a young age to come into power. He must have seen something in her, even though she was a female and females were not seen as able to hold the title of pharaoh, and did his best to prepare her for her future.

    Famous entrepreneur and animator, Walt Disney, once said and lived by the following: “I don’t believe in playing down to children. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows.” Similarly, Jeannette Walls’ memoir, The Glass Castle, expresses how individuals face the world and such experiences on their own, gaining wisdom, despite their age and an apathetic support system. Facing multiple adverse conditions, Rex and Rose Walls kept their family from amassing happiness, substantial wealth-- wasted in alcoholism, and precious time--in attempts to achieve personal goals that put their children’s successes aside. Yet however, the Walls parents never “treated

    Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh who ruled Egypt for nearly two decades during the start of the New Kingdom in the 18th dynasty, has been a subject of fascination for historians for centuries. Yet, despite her numerous accomplishments and innovative policies, her achievements have been widely under-estimated, and her legacy largely overshadowed by the accomplishments of her male successors. From the ambitious expeditions to the Land of Punt, to the construction of the magnificent Temple of Deir el-Bahari, Hatshepsut's reign was marked by remarkable feats of leadership and vision. By examining the historical context of her reign, the scope of her building projects, and the impact of her rule on Egyptian society and the wider world, we will

Scholars found defaced statues and portraits of Hatshepsut. Some believed Thutmose III was slighted by Hatshepsut and he defaced her image.

    Actually this didn't go quite the way I had wanted. Originally I planned to go into much more detail about Beorn bonding with various Dwarrow and Bilbo, but that would lead to them basically having the same talk again as in the last chapter, so I tried this approach. I believe I mentioned it before, but it was Bungo’s project before, and now Bilbo tries to collect what knowledge he can about the time before the Hobbits lived in the Shire. It is actually canon that the Hobbits lived in the Valley of the Anduin, which is south of Beorn’s homestead, before the first War of the Ring forced them to move west, so I believe it's not so farfetched to believe they co-existed peacefully with the skin-changers. Also, basically since I first heard "Song of Exile" from the King Arthur Soundtrack I associated the song with "Beorn".
