    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    King Leonidas, By Xeones Tell The Spartans

    The book is told in a circuitous way; I found the jumping back and forth in time a bit distracting, but more off-putting was the way Xeones forecasts an event or subplot before narrating it in detail later. Already knowing how Thermopylae turned out, I was hoping for some suspense in the details, but there too Pressfield tells us the end before getting started on the story…

    Life as We Knew It

    Time was running out. Stakes were high. It was supposed to be a particular day for everyone including Miranda, a typical teenage girl. As usual, she went to school, then went home with the knowledge that an asteroid was to hit the moon later in the day. At first, nothing seemed to have happen until a noise almost like a sonic boom erupted from the sky. The moon appeared closer than ever in an eerie, unnatural sort of way. Almost suddenly, Earth was hit with tornadoes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Out of the many people who witnessed this event, Miranda stayed strong and fought her way through the epidemic, even through the roughest of times.…

    Credibility Of Lying

    In every living being we are given the ability to lie when something happens to us or other actions that fall upon us. This ability can be useful when something unexpected happens and theres is no choice but to lie. However, lying to cover up something that is harmful or important can have it's own consequences for that action alone. There have been many debates over whether or not lying is a justifiable action to take when something comes up. Some argue that lying is wrong action to take because it's just prolonging the mistake that was made. While others believe that it is acceptable if it’s in the right circumstance to use. I believe that lying is acceptable because the things we do are own consequences and we have to keep it as are own…
