The Sirens of Titan

Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt were both extremely prevalent societies between the times of 750 BCE and 450 BCE. For Greece, this includes a majority of what was considered the Archaic Age. During this time Greece was divided into many separate cities that each had their own distinct personality. For example, Spartans believed “it was deeds, not words, that counted” and “they organized their whole style of life around the demands of battle-readiness.” On the other hand, you have a city like

Sitting in Debnam’s class pushing through this book really made me think about how I used to use University of Arizona’s summaries of Sirens of Titan last semester. Slaughterhouse Five had a convoluted, hard-to-maneuver writing style. In between its reoccurring “***”’s and “So it goes.”’s, I found that the story sounded the same as his others. Vonnegut always jumps around different time periods

Greek Mythology: Immortals The Greeks created images of their deities for many purposes. A temple would house the statue of a god or goddess, or multiple deities, and might be decorated with relief scenes depicting myths. Divine images were common on coins. Drinking cups and other vessels were painted with scenes from Greek myths. Gods & Goddesses Aphrodite (Ἀφροδίτη, Aphroditē) Goddess of love, beauty, desire, and pleasure.

Snapping back unto reality, I focused my attention of the rain. It had substantially grown heavier and the wind was howling, much like my soulless soul. The Last City had sirens wailing and outdoor spotlights for aiding in the aircraft that go to and from the Tower. The raindrops hurled their way to my windowpane on the other side, and sheet lightning shimmered aloft. Cracks of thunder roared above us; it was like the Iron

Death and Time in Slaughterhouse-Five We all wish we could travel through time, going back to correct our stupid mistakes or zooming ahead to see the future. In Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-Five, however, time travel does not seem so helpful. Billy Pilgrim, Vonnegut's main character, has come unstuck in time. He bounces back and forth between his past, present, and future lives in a roller coaster time trip that proves both senseless and numbing. Examining Billy's time traveling

Greek Mythology  I  INTRODUCTION  Temple of Apollo at Didyma  The Greeks built the Temple of Apollo at Didyma, Turkey (about 300 bc). The temple supposedly housed an oracle  who foretold the future to those seeking knowledge. The predictions of the oracles, delivered in the form of riddles,  often brought unexpected results to the seeker. With Ionic columns reaching 19.5 m (64 ft) high, these ruins  suggest the former grandeur of the ancient temple.  Bernard Cox/Bridgeman Art Library, London/New York
