In the first two chapters of the informative book, Modern-day Vikings: A Practical Guide to Interacting with the Swedes, Christina Johansson Robinowitz and Lisa Werner Carr provide readers with an overview of Sweden’s history and relate it back to present day Sweden. Modern day Sweden is most notably known for their welfare state. They are reputed for the countries conscious efforts towards equality, fairness, and high values. However, the Swedes also have a barbarous Vikings past that contradicts the welfare state they have obtained in this present day and age. The Vikings were known for being merciless warriors who used their impressive ships to travel to faraway lands and raid wealthy, defenseless monasteries . The very fact that the Vikings…
Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth President of the United States who freed the slaves from a complex issue that the country was facing. Lincoln views on ending slavery was very conservative because he believed that the compensated emancipation would change the revolution. Lincoln had a strong opinion about changing politics to transform people’s social life. Lincoln was “the greatest social and political revolution of the age” (McPherson), because Lincoln released the emancipation proclamation in which he declares all slaves free, it caused the start of the Civil War. The outcome was two major points of view whereas in provoking the rights of revolution, and the abolition of slavery to destroy the social structure.…

Måten å snakke på, være på uten å nevne deg selv (være objektiv) – den nye eliten er intellektuell elite. 2 nye eliter I dag, intellektuell og teknologisk(beste I sitt felt). Når man argumenterer for sine måter å se verden på, gjør man det uten å snakke om sin egen måte å se verden på – det skulle være riktig, faktum, ikke ha noe om hvor man kom fra. Det er det man sier som betyr noe, ikke bakgrunn.…
The best feeling in the world is overcoming an obstacle, especially one when people say it can’t be done. Sherman Alexie talks about this in his writing “Superman and me,” where he tells us his life story about how he started out as a poor Indian boy living on a reservation and overcame many racial barriers to become a writer. Alexie uses rhetorical strategies such as ethos and pathos to pull the reader in and make them understand his life story. He also uses writing strategies like repetition and syntaxes to really make the reader latch onto what he is talking about.…
What set do you claim? Isn’t that a question we all hear at some point in our school years and maybe sometimes even after. Well I remember being in elementary school and not having to worry about nothing but recess. Those were the days of no worries and no stress. Then came middle school and that’s when things begin to change. Middle school is more about who you hang out with and how you dress. That’s where most of it starts. At the level of middle school to the level of adulthood gangs are feared and recognized.…
i. It was during this time period of his life, between 1220 and 1235, that Snorri wrote the major works for which he has been universally recognized and which secured his lasting game: Snorra Edda, translated as The Prose Edda, and Heimshringla; The Heimshringla :or chronicle of thee kings of Norway. Besides being an indispensable compendium of Scandinavian mythology “The Deluding of Gylf” reveals Snorri’s mastery of the art of storytelling, The stories are told with charm, sophistication, and satiric wit rare in any age and that’s only a natural storyteller can command. Snorri’s writing is remarkable both for their scope and for their formal assurance. “The Prose Edda” is an handbook of poetics. In this work, Snorri arranges and recounts the legends of Norse mythology in an entertaining way. He then explains the ornate diction of the ancient skaldic poets and explains the great variety of poetic meters used in skaldic and Eddic verse. Snorri also writes biographies. He wrote a biography on St. Olaf of Norway, which he included in his Heimshringla, a history of the Norwegian Kings from their legendary descent from the warrior-wizard good odin down to Magnus Erlingsson. Snorri objectively however is less remarkable than it may seem for he is writing in the tradition of the relentless accumulation of facts and dialogue while avoiding description, analysis, loaded language and judgements.…
