Poseidon And Thunderstorms-Personal Narrative

Later one night the boy wakes up to the rain coming in the window and thunder

But Zeus is beyond angry, and the sky turns to a pitch black to show his anger now. Hades lights the touches on the battlefield that surround the three brothers of destruction. Zeus garbs Prosidnes by the feet and starts to spin him around, like he’s a spear. He furiously lets go Poseidon feet, and he hits one of the torches skul

Literary Devices Character “There was no emotion in her eyes, no sense of the person behind it… At the girl's throat was a necklace of human tongues … Just for a moment the girl looked at Mark Fossie with something close to contempt” (O’brien 105). From the introduction of her character, Mary Anne Bell, seemed like the typical American girl, but that changed within time. Her character at first was flat and dull; she behaved in the way any “girl next door” type would. Coming to Vietnam to her was like a little trip to visit her boyfriend, not knowing the true realities that lay ahead.

Both Athena and Poseidon are gods, and both are under the rule of Zeus, however they are very different in the way they have interactions with Odysseus. Athena, the gray-eyed goddess help Odysseus on his journey, and also helps Penelpoe and Telemachus with their personal struggles. Poseidon, on the other hand has a grudge against Odysseus for maiming his offspring, the Cyclops. When Odysseus revealed his real name to the Cyclops, the Cyclops called upon Poseidon to curse him and make his journey even harder. In a way, it is like Athena and Poseidon are battling against each others' will. Athena is trying to make sure Odysseus makes it home safe, while Poseidon is trying to make his homeward journey as difficult as possible.

I was in high school the first time I had to write a narrative. I was a freshman. This was Ms. Bradley’s first time teaching at Union Christian Academy. On her first day, she gave us our syllabus and said, “I do not accept late work, especially on writing assignments.” We, literally, sat there stunned. My freshman class had it very easy during eighth grade year. We were not expecting this. As I looked through the syllabus, I saw that our first assignment was due in a week and it was a narrative. At this time, I did not even know what a narrative was. Ms. Bradley explained that a narrative was an account or story of events. It could be either true or false. Our narrative had to be true. It had to be a true account of something that happened to us over the summer. She wanted to gauge how are writing skills were. Our narrative had to be at least two to two and a half pages long. I chose to write my first ever narrative on my trip to Fort Worth, Texas. Once again, I was plagued with writer’s block. I had the story in my head, but everything I

Poseidon did not forget this act of rudeness from King Laomedon and during the Trojan War, Poseidon was “delighted to fight on the side of the Greeks” (Poseidon: Greek).

At least Hades defends us when some of the gods were ganging up on us. Poseidon just sits there and Zeus let's everyone disrespect his child if you chose him to be your father. He only speaks up because Ares was being to hyped. Wanting to fight a 17 year old. He should be ashamed of himself with his grown ass.

Poseidon’s strict belief that anyone to go against the gods deserves to die is what propelled his anger towards Odysseus. He has no tolerance for unloyalty, which is why

He tells Poseidon that he got into an argument with Hades and he threw a stick and it turned into a lightning bolt. Poseidon later tells him that it’s going to happen every time when he gets extremely angry or he is in an argument with somebody and he throws something to release his energy. They both now think that Zeus is a god after all the years of him not telling if he was or not. In the long run Zeus is gleeful that he is god and is able to be with all of the other gods Athena and Apollo. When Zeus gets back to Mount Olympus all of the other gods congratulate him and they choose him to be the king of the

"Zeus, you don't have to worry about that, we will not harm those pathetic mortals. I mean, come on, why would I do that? I mean no harm to those mortals. I just want my son," Poseidon said

Poseidon is the ancient Greek god who resembles the power of the untamed, the brutal, and the wild. After the defeat of the Titans, Poseidon drew straws with his brothers and got the middle straw. Therefore, he became the lord of the Sea, earthquakes, and horses. The Romans knew Poseidon as Neptune. He is also associated with clouds, which was essential to agriculture. Poseidon could create springs, floods, and even tidal waves when angered. Besides the sea, Poseidon is also connected with the earth. It is believed that his anger is

In grade school, my teacher scribbled on my paper in bold red ink, “Great story! You should be an author. Do you know what that is?” My dream to write a Memoir was born.

Many years ago, there was a clash between Zeus and Poseidon. Poseidon felt jealous of his brother, for Poseidon always tried to provide calm waters for the fishermen of a tiny village, allowing them to feed their families. However, the fishermen praised Zeus for providing calm winds to be able to sail by, enabling them to catch fish. In their ignorance, they didn’t see Poseidon’s hard work filling their nets with fish and calm waters and neglected him and his temples. All along, however, the temples to Zeus would fill with worshippers, and feasts were held in his Zeus’s honor, while Poseidon’s temples continued to fall into disrepair.Many

I love reading books and telling stories. I choose stories and books that I can relate to. When I feel a connection with the writer, I enjoy the book more. Using my experiences as a reader, I try to find ways to connect with my audience while writing and I found that story telling is the key to that connection. Storytelling is a great element to use when writing. It is not only a way to grab the audience’s attention; it is also a way to connect with them. I’m a great storyteller, because I always add my personal experiences to my writing and it helps me connect with my

In Norse mythology, Thor is known as the God of Thunder. The Vikings believed that the sound of thunder was caused by Thor. In the Norse myth, Thor and his mighty hammer, Miolnir, take on the destructive giants. It is said that every crack of thunder is Thor dropping his hammer down.
