    How Did The Military Revolution Change

    The military revolution that occurred in Europe from 1560 to 1660 arguably represented the first signs of modernity for European and Western armies. As Geoffrey Parker describes in his book, The Military Revolution: Military Innovation and the Rise of the West, 1500-1800, European armies before this military revolution conducted a preponderance of their wars using siege warfare against highly developed fortifications reminiscent of the age . This preponderance, however, began to change in Europe during a military revolution from 1560 to 1660, which would rebalance warfare towards more open combat in battle . This rebalance of warfare occurred because of changes in the tactics, the lethality, and the costs of war. Additionally, these changes…

    Shark and the Goldfish

    I chose “The Shark And The Goldfish” by Jon Gordon for my book report. This book is about positive ways to thrive during waves of change and follows a goldfish named Gordy who washes out into the ocean. Gordy has always been taken care of and fed daily, but doesn’t know how to act or get food when he is in the ocean. He meets a nice shark named Sammy who teaches him how to find food and take care of himself. The story is a lesson for how you never know what life is going to throw at you and when a new challenge or change comes your way, it is up to you to embrace the change and learn to grow instead of viewing the change as a negative. The lingering question in the beginning of the story is are you a shark or a goldfish and how you can learn to become a shark if you tend to have more goldfish like tendencies.…

The author Amiee Bender displays this latter change in storytelling in the short story, “The Healer.” This story tells of the challenges of being unique and average, degree of emotion, and using one’s talents and gifts.…
