“Enchantress from the Stars” by Sylvia Engdahl is filled with many examples of risk and sacrifice. There are quite a few major tipping points in the story that involve the characters taking risks and making sacrifices. I would like to cover three of these events plus one of my own. Within the first few minutes of Elana’s arrival on the planet Andrecia, a member of their group is killed by two Imperials patrolling outside of their typical time allotment.

space. Some people believe space exploration is a bad idea because it costs a lot of money that could go to other government-funded programs, there are many unforeseen risks from failures launch or radiation from the Sun, and the discovery of new civilizations could lead to a repeat of history where we take advantage of civilization and ravage them. I believe that space exploration is a good idea because It can help us detect and divert dangerous asteroids, help us discover new habitable planets

Hundreds of civilizations have up and fallen over thousands of years. However, the foremost eminent and long lasting societies have developed a similar options over the course of their growth. 2 major civilizations were the Han and Zhou. each of that had a similar general characteristics with variable parts.
