How To Write A Chapter Summary For The War Of The Kingdoms

As we are introduced to the Great Persian Empire, we find that Amy Chua’s thesis talks about how tolerance was critical in allowing the Persians to not only establish and prosper their world dominant empire, but to maintain it for over two centuries. The thesis of the book, Day of Empire by Amy Chua, is about the “study of colossal power and the conditions needed to maintain it”. Not only this, but it discusses “the contest between ethnic “purity” and ethnic pluralism”. Amy Chua argues that The Achaemenid Persian Empire was “one of the first hyper powers in world history, governing a territory larger than all the ancient empires, including even Rome’s.” (Day of Empire pg. 4) Along with this, she argues that the Persian Empire was “one of the most culturally diverse and religiously open empires in history.” (Day of Empire pg. 4) Therefore, the author argues that The Persian Empire is relevant when discussing large powerful world authorities with a large size, long period of ruling, and ethnic tolerance it

In chapter two of the book “Dragonwings” , Moon Shadow meets his father for the first time of his life. Then, Moon Shadow, Windrider (Moon Shadow’s father), Uncle Bright Stars

Mr. Gawande starts his literature on washing hands. He introduces two friends a microbiologist and an infectious disease specialist. Both work hard and diligently against the spread of diseases just like Semmelweis who is mentioned in the chapter. Something I learned, that not many realize, is that each year two million people acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Mainly because the clinicians only wash their hands one-third to one-half as many times as they should. Semmelweis, mentioned earlier, concluded in 1847 that doctors themselves were to blame for childbed fever, which was the leading cause of

‘When We Fight We Win’ challenges the notion of “reform” when it comes to education in Chicago and around the globe. Charter schools privatize education allowing what is supposed to be a public service focussed on meeting the needs of students to meeting the needs of private investors. Billionaires like Bill Gates have pushed charter schools as a solution to our failing educational system but in reality many charter schools don’t do better on average. Chicago’s mayor Rahm Emanuel closed 50 public schools primarily in low-income african american and latino neighborhoods which then later got replaced by charter schools. This is what the book refers to as the neoliberal model of education that has served as a blueprint in changing

The Servant by James C. Hunter lays a foundation of required strategies that are commonly learned throughout life. The concepts that are laid out in this book are quite interesting and similar to the laws of love. There is an unfortunate amount of successful and unsuccessful people who acquire the “I know best” leadership style that John portrays. Having the “I know it all” mentality can be a person’s biggest downfall. Within this story, you can see the consequences of that mentality as John is losing his grounds in all leadership roles within his life. These strategies are not difficult or new but understanding the foundation of these strategies may be quite challenging for some. When reading this book I recognized to become an efficient leader

In one of his temper tantrums, Poseidon realized he was not happy with his ocean domain, and wanted to try and overthrow his brother, Zeus, and become king of the gods himself. Poseidon asked for help from Apollo, the god of light and music. Together, they bound Zeus with chains. Zeus had too much strength and power and freed himself very quickly. Zeus was furious with Apollo and Poseidon. As punishment, he sent them to work as laborers for Laomedon, the king of Troy, a city in what is now considered Turkey. Laomedon promised a very big reward if they could build a wall around the city of Troy. However, after they built the wall, Laomedon refused to honor his agreement and did not pay them for their work. In turn, Poseidon and Apollo sent a plague and a sea monster to destroy the city of Troy. (Gall.)

Another example of a struggle for power is that Hades thought that Percy had stolen both his Helm of Darkness and Zeus’ master bolt so that it could start a war between them. The novel states, “You took the master bolt and my helm. Had I not sent my Fury to discover you at Yancy Academy, Poseidon might have succeeded in hiding his scheme to start a war. But now you have been forced into the open. You will be exposed as Poseidon’s thief, and I will have my helm back!” This quote shows that Hades thought that Percy was Poseidon’s thief who stole his Helm of Darkness and the master bolt in an attempt to start a war between them. Both the novel and the myth connect with each other through the theme, the struggle for

In the first few pages of Chapter Three, Kingsolver talks about heirloom vegetables and says “these titles stand for real stories.” What is meant by the title is heirloom plants give off seeds that end up being saved and used for many generations (112). Those seeds have history behind them; family stories that span over several years. For example, on page 144 Kingsolver talked about this heirloom seed exchange in Iowa where one of the founders’ grandfather left a pink tomato plant that his parents brought from Bavaria in the 1870s. The seeds are comparable to a family heirloom. Both get handed down from generation to generation and have a story of what the meaning of the object is and how it all got started.

The book What They Fought for, is about the Civil war and the two sides involved. The two sides are Union and Confederate Armies. The Union is the north and the Confederate is the south. The union simply wanted to preserve the nation that the founding fathers bequeathed. The Confederate army was fighting for their independence. They believed the government was trying to take over and place too many rules on them. The Confederacy believed they should not have any restrictions. The Union wanted the country to be equal and whole. The ironic fact is that both sides were fighting for what the forefathers established, yet interpreted it in two completely different ways. The forefathers fought to be independent from British rule just as the Confederacy thought they were fighting. The forefathers also said “We the people of the united states…,” they wanted the nation to be united in their territories as a whole, just like the union believed. James McPherson does a great job of explaining both sides equally. Gerald Linderman and Reid Mitchell explained that soldiers at that time were not concerned with why they were fighting and only fought for their

The book opens on Oct. 26, 1775 with King George III making a procession in his grand coach/horse drawn carriage, pulled by eight massive majestic horses. The entire coach itself was a symbol of England’s many colonies and extreme wealth. The king’s attire wasn’t usually very grand. He preferred the life of a farmer at Windsor and the company of his wife to court duties. The “madness” for which he was long remembered was really porphyria, an inherited disease. Though not a militaristic man, he had no doubt that the misbehaving colonies must be made compliant. The war under Howe and Washington officially began in Lexington and Concord and then Bunker Hill, and it made him uneasy. He

Poseidon got in a fight with 12 huge sharks, but Poseidon got too cocky and tried to fight them with his bare hands. It was no problem for him. When Poseidon got back to Mount Olympus, he realized his Trident is disappeared. He looked everywhere in his room for it, but it was gone. He quickly checked back at the ocean he fought in but he couldn't find it, but he noticed there were more sharks at that spot. He left quickly to ask his brother Zeus. “Zeus have you seen my Trident, I lost it,” he says “No I have not. Maybe you should ask Hades if you

When The Kings Come Marching In was a definite captivating read. Mouw wrote his book based off of resemblance to life. I liked how Mouw tied Isaiah 60 into the book quite a bit. Mouw connected Isaiah 60 with the old creation as well as the futuristic new creation to come. This book helped me understand much more about the creation as well as got me to think about everyday life situations that I probably would not have come across any other time. The book was appreciative, encouraging, and exciting to read! Because of this book, it gave me a better idea of what is to come when Jesus returns and it has made me even more excited for the new creation than I was before reading Mouw’s book! This book taught me how to defend Christ in certain life

He swooped down and the earth burned. He went up and the earth froze. He went back down and melted the ice. Zeus saw someone other than Apollo so he shot
