Greek myths

I enjoyed The story of when Icarus and his dad Daedalus tried to fly and Daedalus told him not to fly to high because the sun will melt the wax and if you fly to low the feathers will get wet because of the water. I liked this story because it is one that I have never seen before and it was quite interesting. It was not the characters that made it interesting it was the fact that I have never actually understood the story until now. One thing that the stories had in common was that the narrator was the same and the talking dog was the same. Another thing that was the same was that all the stories were about a boy in some way.

white Mountains Freedom quotes

The quote refers to freedom.The author is making an inference that a persons feelings and desires to live his own life is suppressed. For anyone who has been capped they do not have a choice to live a life of their own. Though are may be endowed with good attributes to live a life meaningfully. Capping destroyed it for capped persons are merely reduced to robots or slaves living on instructions from the tripods .They are unable to make any choices. Chapter 6 gives an account of the three people stay in the castle. Although life is comfortable. Will,Henry and Bean Pole had not backed away from the ridges of escaping. Compounding with the good life, a knight hood offered to him and the company of Eloise. Will had wanted freedom and give up all luxury of life in the castle.

The Tripods capped everybody in the hierarchy system. They capped common people and also those who have the power. By capping people who have power, they command orders to these people who in turn commands to the common people. All commands are passed through the mental mesh of the cap. Will is comfortable with Comte, Comtesses and Eloise but frustrated with them being capped. This can be revealed on page (116) that "more and more I had come to see the capped as lacking what seemed to me the essence of humanity, the vital spark of defiance against the rulers of the world. And I had despised them for it-despised even, for all their kindness to me and their goodness, the Comte and Comtesse."

Will is against being capped and feels that capped persons are slaves to the tripods. (108) ("No after all, they obey the Tripods. They are slaves. They treat us kindly,but they must not know our plans". This was explained by Beanpole to him.

Will and I are similar in some really obvious ways. One thing that makes me and Will the same is that we are both boys. Another thing that Will and I are the same at is that we both have the same name basically. Another thing that we have in-common is that we are both smaller then some of our cousins. So, on the outside, Will and I are very similar.

Now here are some more detailed things that we have in common. We both have strong ideas and will fight with other people so that they listen to our ideas. Will and I have enough money because so do our families, so we can wear nice clothes and have enough to eat. Will and I also travel to other places in out world a lot.

Dania and Johanna -Queen Nefertiti-

I think their introduction was really good because they had a really good description of Queen Nefertiti. I also cant remember the rest but they had good transitions.
