Homosexuality

I really dont have a problem with gay people because everyone knows what to do in their lifes and what they want to be.I also think they should be treated the same way as the others and people needs to stop being racesist because everyone is the same and should be treated the same no matter what.They are really nice funny people and the gay people I know, I get along with them really good. they are really good friends.but anyways thans good I'm straight.

Poems by Sappho

1:The poem that I think I understood the best was ''He is more than a Hero'' because, it had less hard words and I could understand its language more easily,and also understand what she was saying and feeling.

3 A:On the fist poem, thinking about Helen of Troy makes her think about Anactorias absence because it was somebody that left and they didn't saw them again.She only remembered of the things they did and how they were.

B:In the 2nd poem that person is more than a hero because she thinks he is wonderful wich she respects him alot and even maybe she is in love with him.Wich I also think its her husband.

C:The setting described in the 3rd poem is during a sunny sping day, flowers blooming and just a happy beautiful day.

4:She appreciates the beauty of nature because on the 3rd poem, she describes it as beautiful.She values intimate moments of friendship on the 1st and 2nd poem because she talks about people that she adores and respects,and also describes them as great persons.

Analysis of Women's Role

Athenian women were denied education and hope of equality,they were confined to the home. She was not allowed to eat with her husband and his male friends,men were more powerful than women.''Your great glory is not to be inferior to what God has made you,and the greatest glory of a woman is to be at least talked about by men,whether they are praising you or criticizing you''.

Think Through Mahabarata

1:I think Arjuna is a person that always whants to be the best and be good at what he does.To test his students skills in archery, Drona had craftsmen fashion an artificial bird and attach it to a treetop where it was hardly visible and procede the targeting.Arjuna shows he's the best student because he shot the target and got the birds head at the exact point and succed in his task.Drona reward Arjuna by embracing him and deemed Drupada and his party laid low in battle.

3:The traits that I think were more admired in ancient India were bravery,knowledge,positiveness and stength.

4:I think Drona as a teacher is very focused on his job,he tries that his student do their best and he is too posesive with them.and he always wants his students to do what he says when he says it.

5:The lesson that contains this story is that weapons can be harmful if their not used corectly,wich can kill others or harm them.

6:Drona doesn't really remind me of anyone.

7:I think this leason is true because weapons are dangerous and everyone knows they can harm people if their not used corectly.
