Sibylline Leaves Chapter Summary

In chapter eight of Unbroken, the narrator follows the description of Super Man’s bombing of Wake by describing the dangers of war, specifically in the American Air Corps. After describing multiple instances of Louie’s friends who have died in combat and the very real risks that are associated with flying in combat, the narrator follows with this quote, emphasizing how unlikely rescue at sea was. Although “the military was dedicated to finding crash and ditching survivors” (90), “the improbability of rescue, coupled with the soaring rate of accidental crashes, created a terrible equation” (91).

The American frontier was a vast area of free land. The dividing line of the frontier was a boundary line that was continuously moving farther and farther west with each generation. It’s the frontier, and subsequently its boundaries, that determined the path of history more than other events. As the expansion of the west continued the attractions and conveniences of things were farther apart, yet the reward of moving westward reaped its benefits in the ways that each and every person had a chance to make their future and had the west as a blank canvas..

It was believed that at this festival each person might look into a crystal to see if he would live through the next year. If they could see themselves erect as they looked into the stone, it was believed they would live, but if they appeared to be lying down, they would die before the first spring moon. Those who were to die fasted all day and then had the priest consult the crystal again. If on the second trial he appeared standing erect, he was ordered to the river and bathed several times and he would be safe.

What does an overbearing mother, a flower, and a pomegranate have in common? They’re all symbols of the myth Persephone. This paper is over the mythological goddess Persephone, who is “married” to Hades. This myth is a conflict of interest given how it’s viewed upon by the reader. To some it’s a tale of extreme love from a mother and god of hell, but to others it’s a crazed god after a young maiden who just wants to get away from her mother.

The presentation of death in Vergil’s work, The Aeneid, indicates the inescapable will of the gods. Written as Roman ktisis poetry, or a “foundation myth”, Vergil wrote The Aeneid to strengthen the political influence of Augustus and provide the citizens of Rome with an ethnic identity (Mianowski 68). To fulfill this purpose, throughout the poem, the themes and events Vergil presents are distinctly Roman. In The Aeneid, the scenes detailing Laocoon and his sons’ deaths, and Creusa’s suicide, show that Romans view the concept of death as a tool to serve the Gods’ purposes. Not only did The Aeneid provide the Roman citizens with a common cultural bond, it also influenced the image of the afterlife in other notable works.
