2200 BC Tower of Babel

ageorge213 — 2023-08-11 03:48:31 UTC

The Tower of Babel is a story in the book of Genesis about people who tried to build a tower to reach Heaven. God confused the people building the tower by giving everyone a different language to speak.
This is song about the tower of babel by Elton John, titled, Tower of Babel.
Snow, cement and ivory young towers
Someone called us Babylon
Those hungry hunters
Tracking down the hours

But where were all your shoulders when we cried
Were the darlings on the sideline
Dreaming up such cherished lies
To whisper in your ear before you die

It's party time for the guys in the tower of Babel
Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Abel
Have a ball y'all
See the letches crawl
With the call girls under the table
Watch them dig their graves
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys
In the tower of Babel

Watch them dig their graves
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys
In the tower of Babel, no no no

Realism

ageorge213 — 2024-01-05 06:08:46 UTC

Realism (including neorealism) focuses on abiding patterns of interaction in an international system lacking a centralized political authority. That condition of anarchy means that the logic of international politics often differs from that of domestic politics, which is regulated by a sovereign power. In literature
Realism is characterized by the use of realistic characters over a complicated plot. Elements of Realism include the focus of social issues, struggles of everyday life, truths of everyday life, and focus on mostly middle- and lower-class people.

They also sought to break free of Victorian moral values and bourgeois shame about aspects of their lives that might, as seen by whites, reinforce racist beliefs.

Paragraph Reflection

ageorge213 — 2024-03-26 05:25:19 UTC

My journey this past year connecting literature to history has been great. I have learned a lot from each week that I have added to this project. I hope to remember what I have learned and even apply it in the future. Connecting literature to the time period during the time the literature was written has been eye opening and allowed me to understand the novel better, because I have an understanding of the time period it was written in.
