Mongolian Narrative

When the first day came, I arose to the sun shining through the blinds in my room. As I sat up, I felt the butterflies circling in my stomach. I was nervous to start fifth grade at a new school, and have new friends and teachers. I quickly ran to my closet and pulled out my freshly ironed jumper.

The Mongols accomplished the conquest of such a large territory within such a short period of time by having amazing methods of war, how quickly they conquered other empires, and their advanced technology. How they quickly conquered other empires, large and small, is shown in documents 1 and 2 as they were written about which tribes/empires they conquered and document 7 speaks of what made Genghis Khan and his army mad. Their efficient methods of warfare were shown in document 4, which is about how the army was arranged, and documents 8 and 9 in which they are letters from the Pope Innocent IV about how Genghis Khan destroyed empires and people and a reply about why he did this. Documents 3 and 5 are written from outsiders’ perspectives

The Mongols were very harsh and brutal like no one else in their era but I believe that they are not barbarians. The Mongols had a strong dominating military that was almost always successful, they contributed to many of the ideas that are still around today, and made a very stern set of laws that kept their community civilized which is why I believe that the Mongols were not barbarians.

Twins, share a bond that no parent, child or sibling relationship can ever compare. There are two main types of twins, and these include: monozygotic (identical) twins and dizygotic (fraternal) twins, and they are compared by their emotional, behavioural, and cognitive similarities. (Robert Plomin, 1997). According to Social Issues Referencing, 2007, whereas Identical twins are formed from a single (mono) zygote and are genetic “carbon copies”, fraternal twins develop from two (di) separate zygotes, as a result of two eggs being fertilized by two sperms independently. (Social Issues Referencing, 2007, para. 8)

“I’m still cold” ““I’m kinda hungry” “We should go somewhere else” They all seemed to say at once. One of us suggested going into the church which we all agreed on then eventually got it up and went. Whoever suggested it was smart because walking into the church was like feeling the sun after being locked in a freezer for years. We all sat in these chairs that were at the front entrance of the church. I looked around observingly and noticed every detail in that room. It was my first time in a church and I treated it as a job to remember everything about that room. The chairs we were sitting in were in the front room of the church to the right. To the left were bathrooms and there was so much red. I had never seen so much red in one room. The carpet was red the cushioning on the chair was red. I stood up while everyone else sat around talking about where to go next. There was a table in the room behind some chairs that held business cards and pamphlets. I read the names of the people in my head and tried to determine the relationships of the people in the picture. Dylan walked up to me and stood there with me without saying a word. He seemed to be analyzing the pamphlets

What's the true meaning of being a twin? Some would say a mirror image, a replica, or as in Biology; a didymous. I can honestly say that none of those descriptions represent my twin brother and I. People naturally, and erroneously conclude that twins will look, think, and act alike. Often forgotten are the obvious facts that we are not one, but two unique human beings leaving our own footprint on this planet. We leave different imprints on this earth with our varying talents and goals. We share ourselves with others in contrasting ways, and leave distinct impressions on everyone we interact with.

So when the morning of my brother’s college move-in day came around, I was already uneasy.

Coming into Trinity I was scared and nervous about the prospect of meeting new people, making new friends, and doing well in my major. I believe this quote by Marilynne Robinson describes my emotions before coming to college, “I would say, for the moment, that community, at least community larger than the immediate family, consists very largely of imaginative love for people we do not know or whom we know very slightly.” As I entered college I knew meeting people would be hard, because I am not outgoing. Instead, I thought to myself I will know the girls on the soccer team and that will be nice. This imaginative love I had for my team grounded me and made me a little less afraid of what was to come.

Two weeks ago on August 15th 1281, a fleet of over 140,000 Chinese, Korean and Mongolian sailors and warriors approached Japan and attempted to invade Hakata Bay by attacking the smaller defence forces. They were met with a miracle typhoon that locals affectionately call Kamikaze (the divine wind) that destroyed almost all of their fleet leaving the Shoguns with the victory..This is not the first time the Mongols have attempted to invade Japan. In 1274 at the first battle of Hakata Bay, a small fleet of 40,000 sailors and soldiers arrived from Mongolia to invade Japan via the Korea Strait only to be met with a tropical storm that that scattered the whole fleet and forced them to abort the battle. This battle as you may remember from the article was mainly fought on land and as Kashino

The sun was setting and Chuck and I were desperate for a sleep. Consequently, we decided to stay at a close-by hotel for a night and proceed with our journey the next morning to make it to the funeral on time. We arrived at the Catholic Church in which the ceremony was being held that afternoon after another long drive. Upon our entrance, we were greeted with a bearded man with a slicked back hair and two infants in a stroller.

Identical twins are twins resulting from the division of a single fertilized egg, which usually share a common chorion. Identical twins have the same DNA. another name for fraternal twins is dizygotic meaning that

The 2007 Russian film Mongol begins with a weary, imprisoned Temudjin (also known as Genghis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire, the largest continuous land mass in all of history) narrating his life from inside a prison cell. He flashes back to his childhood, where the viewer sees a young Temudjin stop at a tribe’s resting site while he, his father, and his father’s friends are journeying to the Merkits. The Merkits are a rival tribe that Temujin 's father stole Temujin’s mother from years prior, and the company is selecting a Merkit bride for Temujin as a sort of consolation for the act. However, the young Mongol meets a young girl, Borte, who charms him into a picking a bride then and there. He, of course, picks.Börte. His father, although disappointed, celebrates with Börte’s father and pays him her dowry of a black sable jacket. They leave, promising to return in five years to marry the two. It begins to rain on their way home, bringing thunder, which, as Temujin’s father tells him, all Mongols are scared of, because it means their main god, Tengri, is angry. Also while on their expedition, they stop at the resting site of a rival tribe, who poisons Temujin 's father, leaving the boy the new khan. Unfortunately, this does not stop of his father’s men, Tartugai, from raiding their camp. Temujin’s mother protests, reminding Tartugai that her son is the new khan, but he is ruthless and threatens to kill Temujin, but spares his life, because Mongols do not kill children.

Mongolia was founded in 1206 A.D. It was ruled by many nomadic empires throughout Mongolian history until it eventually became an independent country in 1911.

The Bishop came to visit us during the last year of Seminary training with the Question “Who will go for us?” He was referring to a small community north of the 53 parallel in Manitoba. The time was back in 1972 when roads were just being built up from rough logging roads through the muskeg. This was going to be our first parish experience. I was excited about responding to this appointment, but Shirley had strong reservations which she kept to herself. It would be years later that I would discover she knew all kinds of wild stories about our community of destination which had a reputation cognisant of stories out of the wild west. It even came complete with a Silver Dollar Saloon! No wonder she paled as we drove north on a single lane, rutted, slimy road and came upon a huge sign painted on the rocks which said “Go home you fools!”

​Twins are defined as two children produced by the same pregnancy. They can be dizygotic, meaning that they can develop from two separate eggs, each are fertilized by different sperm cells, or monozygotic, meaning that they can develop from one zygote that will then divide and form two embryos. Twins are a double bundle of joy for any parent. Many people dream to have twin babies because of the intriguing and amazing things they are known for. Here are some mind-blowing facts about twins you never knew.
