GATES OF FIRE
CODE

My predictions were not accurate at all i thought they were going on happy ever after but no they got slaughtered and they killed Leonidas also cut his head off his dead body and put it on a stick not to mention it was a custom war that you can have your dead back but no he just had to brake it what a shame. One of my predictions was right i predicted that there will be a glorious war and how the Spartans warriors would kill at least thousand or more and that's how 300 men killed millions. I think my prediction on them wining the war, or Xerxes at least giving them respect and saying i will leave you alone but remember I'm the one you answer to or something like that but like i said he just had to kill them , but what really happens is that Xerxes really didn't care about any thing but killing Leonidas and taking the hole world for his army also his kingdom.

GATES OF FIRE
book 7-8
"But you must tell me now,before i seal the papers and dispatch them."
i chose this because it made me think how Leonidas didn't really trust Rooster and how Rooster was called a trader but came through for every one just think they were going to kill him.
The author really thought of the reader in mind because he made it fill as if you were there i felt like the war was won as Rooster told you their plans.
"In that case," the helot said, "I look forward with even greater anticipation to your death."
I chose this quote because it makes me think of how me and Joe talk at school like he always says he will kill me in wow and its like in a way that we are not angry but may the best man win thing just like this.
The author made you fill like you were there and i could really relate to this also i am going to read his other books because his writing is amazing.
"Some 300,000 including Oronets himself and the ten thousand immortals."
I chose this quote for one reason only how did Xerxes d all this and the immortals are are quote unquote immortals i don't believe that they were immortal and just a said note i would of heard there names and ran lol.
I believe the author made his point with this quot because it makes you step back and say wow no not w.o.w is the bet thing i every seen like so unreal that's why i think the author made his point
"The enemy stood, invincible in the might of their missile fire"
When i read thiss i was thinking modern war then it hit me there were catapults to fire flame balls or shards of flaming blades like engineers make for there war, i guess it was modern for then and it is cool h it worked if it works like i imagined it.
I chose this quote because it really brought something new to the table for war with all thees place's.

hum lets see what should i say I'm thankful for so many things,I'm thankful for GOD because he made me and everything around me. I'm thankful for GOD because he let me see another day and he made a way for me to be out here in Oakland with my family not to muinchen unharmed and giving my mom with lots of strength to let me go out to San Diego for school also that i have all my limbs and that I'm healthy, also giving me a wise mother to look over me as my keeper on earth. with out my lord and saver JESUS CHRIST i would be nothing and have nothing but sins and anger / filled with agony and pain and hate for every one. so thank you GOD for every thing and for whats in store for me with my blessings

GATES OF FIRE



"Imperial troops burned to the ground the cities of Drymus, Charada, Erochus, Tethronium, Amphikaea, Neon, Pedies, Trites", etc

I'm impressed how they ran down all thees places and really never had to really fight or should i say had a challenge they basically killed every one that was somebody and if the didn't believe they will.I wondered did they kill kids and women boy of girls what happened to them or did they just flee and leave abandoned cities.

My reaction to this quote was what couldn't they do if there taking over villages like that and massive towns then what can stop the imperial .


"The Spartan whip boys whit sticks"

Talk about abuse I see nothing or felt pain like man i would hate my life and every one in it for letting them do that to me but i guess that a price to be the best army in history born a warrior die a warrior life of a Spartan i guess.

What struck me was how could a mother think that's OK for you're child to get beat like to meat and blood show and was it like they had to or there was no other chose i thought they were free.



"stilling from local farmers"

How they hung Xeones like Jesus was when he was crucified and that hit me because it related back to me like wow they stabbed nails throw his hands like it was no deal know he robed them but that doesn't mean they had to kill him or cripple him.

GRATES OF FIRE


"they say the ghost sometimes, those that cannot let go their bond to the living, linger and haunt the scenes of their days under the sun, hovering like substanceless birds of carrion, refusing Hades' command to retire beneath the earth." pg.27

this strikes me because i believe this can be true at times.
i agree in some cases like spiritual warfare or like poltergeist or demons i and on the fence with this on because it hasn't happen to me or i haven't really herd of it in first person point of view.
i wonder how it fills to be dead of to haunt someone.
that ghost are real and how they work.
my reaction to this quote is its not a proven fact and it not real.
it made me fill that most of Greek stuff is not real.


"The Archers eyes probed mines gently for one final instant." pg. 42
I was intrigued by this because i wonder what i would do if that was me would i plead for mursy or would i go crazy but for shore i would think about every thing in my life at once like family friends heaven hell God where would i go what will it fill like, the last moment are sort.
The author did a good job showing thispart because he really pot you in this spot and made you fill the pain and think as if you were in the book.


"preoccupation and gestured gown the slope toward the aveue of the champions." pg. 61
what dose this mean is it like a strt or a metiphor like how theres a legens guild or champs.
I chose this because i didnt know what it ment and i know about a champs guild on runescape

I truly think Barack Obama is our next president because he actually brings up real facts and current events that we need to deal with. He doesn't skate around the matter he gos at them straight on unlike Sarah palin and john McCain. (Darfur). John McCain also repeats his self a lot. John McCain doesn't have his facts right.(what Obama really said). Every one is worried about health care and the cost of living and tax raises and Obama is talking about giving every one equal heath care and McCain is saying he would give 5000 dollars and then tax it hes a scam he should not be allowed to do that if he becomes president. Here he goes saying the wrong stuff again will he ever learn. (Health) .like we all know republicans liars for now.
I was on Obamas official web site and saw this. Hi everyone!
Barack Obama was actually sworn into the Senate on his family Bible. He's regularly attended church with his wife and daughters for years.
That's the truth -- Barack Obama is definitely a committed Christian.
I don’t know who starts these nasty rumors about his faith, but they’re really insulting to people of all faiths.
Learn the facts and see photos of Barack swearing into the U. S. Senate on the Bible:

Together we can make sure these negative and divisive attacks don't affect this election.
Thanks for your help. I showed this to say all the stuff people put in the media are lies about his religious believes so I'm clearing the air waves.
why did i find this this morning why is Colin powell voting for Obama and he said that Obama is change and McCain is just basically a face he has he has no purpuse just there. (Colin powell votes for Obama)
I can see what Joe biden was saying when he quote unquote lashed at stupid Sarah palin hes right some places are more pro American than others and that's the simple truth. But we all have our own opinions so yo look and read it for your self and decide.(lash out biden).
some people think every one voting for Obama just because hes black then why hasn't already been a black president people want change and that's our reason for Obama, he could be transparent for all i care change is what we want and need Obama 08. thank you for reading my blog have a good day and remember Obama 08. OBEY and a

I went to the air show they were flying and flopping also flowering the sky with smoke. then my aunt said "were going to golf with golden golfers" good i hope it want be gloomy

I am as rugged as a mountain as slick as a fox. my look on life is what ever floats your boat or just let it fly in the sky that's why I don't lie. I believe I try my best so you can say im at the top of the top but still I climb if I should ever fall the ground the will turn to vary vary fine cotton.

Literary Device of the Week

EPIC: Is a graet battel/ poem about a hero. poem, heroic, grand. I chose this image because when I see the word epic it makes me think of a grand story of a historical battle.This is a picture of a spartan in battle fighting mages with shard of blages flying at him clashing with his shield.

hero

The Hulk was given life when nuclear scientist Dr. Bruce Banner was accidentally bombarded with gamma rays from a "gamma bomb" he had invented. Banner continued to look like a normal human being, but when angered he would transform into the Hulk, a raging giant with green skin and super strength. Most people look at Hulk as a hero because he stops mutant like his self also helps the army in some cases, Hulk is also a brake throw scientist he was trying to help the human race with some kind of cure,I look at hulk as a hero because hes there when no one ells can be. Others look at hulk as a monster and a beast because of the destruction he causes and all the people he hurts, I know the army hates hulk because there always chasing after him and the city is left to clean it up also refund every one for there damages of their property so then again he could be a evil evil beast but one things foreshore hes always there to save us when things get bad.
