Analysis Of The House Of Tempranção
Didac watched the procession of the leaders of Constel•lació approaching the throne in their respective colors with their commissaries in tow. His eyes scrutinized the crowd discreetly. Were they as bored as he was? He fought the urge to yawn and exhaled deeply. The sound must have been audible because Madu’s eyes lowered to him on the chair, twinkling with amusement, his bushy eyebrow tilting. Didac’s lips turned up at the sides as he looked into the royal guard’s eyes. Talk about secret smiles. Didac was not going to hear the end of this from Madu.
Seriously, he had to admit some bits were honestly boring and not necessary at all. If the council members had been uninvolved, he would have cut the whole thing in half, but tradition was tradition.

The people from The House of Temprança were a warrior caste who specialized in combat and warfare. Didac’s people were born with an ineradicable sense of duty and service more so the people from The House of Temprança because their role was to protect the planet by fighting in wartime and governing in peacetime. Their vigor, courage, and aggressiveness made them great soldiers. A clearly defined code of conduct established by the council ensured that they were uncorrupted. And as a people, their honor was dependent on following that law. But codes were often …show more content…
The crowd cheered and applauded at the top of their lungs. Didac palm closed and the people quieted.
“I, Oscar Agusti solemnly swear that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of the Governor to the best of my ability. I am grateful for your faith and confidence in me.”
“This is an insult to my birthright. The position should be mine; I am the eldest.” Abramo’s angry voice thundered over the applause.
The people muted when the sound reached their sensitive ears; they gasped, apparently stunned by the lack of respect exhibited by Abramo. In the old days, that meant instant execution, but Didac’s reputation as a merciful and fair leader was remarkable and unsurpassed.
Didac inhaled deeply to calm himself. His resignation in Abramo’s unaltered attitude was a hard pill to swallow. “You cannot escape the consequences of breaking the codes that we live by, Abramo. Your heir does not want the position. The people of Temprança were getting restless without a leader; we had to choose a successor.”
“It is my birthright.”
The peppery smell of Abramo had Didac’s guards alert. “You sold your birthright for

    In the introduction of “Conquistadores De La Calle”, Thomas A. Offit (author) mentions a fifteen year old boy named Rey, who shines shoes for a living since the age of six. Rey was an exceptional shoe shiner who repaired broken heals, restitched bad seams and even could change the color of your shoes being given the chance to. He spends six days a week, twelve hours a day working underneath an overpass in downtown Guatemala City, shining shoes from sun rise to sunset. The author describes Rey as being a well natured child that often works fast and confidently for just one quetzal; about fifteen cents even.

    Cabeza De Vaca walked through swamps, deserts, and mountains, learned four different Native American languages, and was a slave to not-so-savage savages for over four years. He was a Spanish Conquistador who left Spain in 1527 to establish colonies in the New World, but as he was entering the Gulf of Mexico his ship was blown off course.

    The Colombian Conquest, named after Christopher Colombus who mistakenly found the new world and assumed it was India. Conquest is a more realistic term to show you that European settlers robbed the natives of their land by force. The Spaniards however controlled more south, while the other Europeans controlled more of what is now North America. The tactics used to control the new land included transmitted diseases by travelers, taking force, and assimilation. Though the Europeans did unjustly acquire the new land this was the catalyst for the birth of the Americas. European settlers came to this world with new animals, crops, religion, and unfortunately, disease. Since these new diseases were introduced into the new world the natives…

    The book "The Warrior Ethos" written by Steven Pressfield is about what it means to be a warrior, in the present time, and also in ancient times. In the book it gives many examples such as the ancient Spartans as well as modern day war fighters such as the Marines. It also discusses the differences and similarities as to what the warrior ethos actually means to the individual, as well as to the unit. The author breaks the book into three parts, academies of war, the external war, and finally the last part, inner wars. These three parts essentially start from the ground and work their way up. The academies of war is basically giving examples of real stories where military members showed the meaning of the warrior ethos. For example, Pressfield brings up that in ancient Greek times, when King Leonidas chose the three hundred Spartan warriors to march on Thermopylae based on their wives and mothers. He knew they were going to die and he chose the warriors based on how their families would react to the war effort. Positive reactions from the families of the fallen soldiers creates a positive reaction in the populous. The second part, the external war, is exactly that. How we implement the warrior ethos in an actual battle. The author elaborates on how militaries that are born and raised in harsh environments tend to thrive when they go to battle somewhere else that is less demanding of them. He also discusses how battles and struggles bring soldiers closer and create a brotherhood that is like none other, in the sense that they will die for each other without hesitation. The third and final part, inner wars, is about what the warrior ethos means to each individual, and how it is almost always the same for each person. At first mentions that as warriors, we must always been mindful of consequences, because unlike civilians, consequences are very real in our world.And in turn, we must temper our "brute aggression" with…

    This letter was written by Pliny the Younger to the Emperor Trajan while he was serving as the Governor of the Roman Province of Asia Minor during the time frame 111 through 113. This letter was written after Pliny had his first interactions with the Chirsitans. This letter seems to have been written as a letter of concern, asking the Emperor for guidance on how to handle legalities of his interactions with Christians. This concern was seen in his opening statement to the Emperor, “It is my invariable rule, Sir, to refer to you in all matters where I feel doubtful; for who is more capable of removing my scruples, or informing my ignorance.…

    Mexican Culture, like any other culture, is a very unique thing. They have their own foods, holiday, traditions, and much more. To learn more about Mexican Culture I interviewed a friend named Sofia that used to live in Monterrey, Mexico. I played sports with Sofia in high school so I knew her and her family pretty well and I felt comfortable going to her house for dinner. Her father made home-made tamales for dinner and she made pineapple stuffed empanadas for dessert. After dinner, we discussed Mexican culture and traditions, her life in Mexico, and also her life here in America.…
