In the simulation the change in supply was caused by how many apartments were being rented out. The change in demand increased dramatically a new company into town which caused people to want to live closer to work. When the change in demand increased, the supply was decreasing because the apartments were filling up and the company only had a set amount of homes to rent out. When the change in demand decreased, this caused an increase in supply for the company which means that they were losing out on revenue.…
The book The Island at the Center of the World by Russell Shorto was very interesting and gave me a different view on history. I felt the story that was told was very intriguing but it did get confusing at times. There were parts in the book where he would discuss an important person like Adriaen Van der Donck for example in one chapter then he would jump to a new person in the next chapter and then Van der Donck would be mentioned again two chapters later. This was hard to follow because he would jump from person to person and mention many dates that it was hard to keep up with what he was saying. However, regarding his argument that Manhattan is what started America he does an excellent job at proving this. One example of this is “…in…

So according to Professor Prince, it seems we are still unclear as to what our focus is going to be for the project. I actually thought we had that taken care of, I guess we didn't. Anyway I like Professor Prince's idea of doing our analytical/informative project on the myth's evolution. This seems to be the more appropriate thing to do as the Lost City of Atlantis is a myth.…
The story of Jamestown was one of America's first documented mysteries. There are clear facts about this voyage that have been documented. In 1587, John White did make a temporary establishment on or near Roanoke Island, and that after leaving for three years did return to the island in 1590. On his return, all traces of the colonist having lived there for those three years had vanished. No Jamestown colonist is known to be seen from again. So what happened to them during those three years?…
When deciding whether or not mistakes are a part to making discoveries, the sides are pretty evened out. But with this essay, the siding is that mistakes are a key part to making discoveries. Let’s get into it.…
Legends of untold riches and beauty are popular with people because the possibility of achieving said greatness excites the masses. The lost city of Atlantis is one of the more popular legends, and it originated from a few pages in Timaeus and Critias, two of the famous “dialogues” written by Greek philosopher Plato in the fourth century B.C. Existing 9,000 years before his time, Plato described Atlantis as a great naval power and utopian island kingdom that mysteriously disappeared into the sea over the course of a single day. There are several theories regarding Atlantis and its possible whereabouts.…

At any point in time, everyone faces a problem or tragedy, because that’s just life. Those are the moments in life you learn a lot from, and grow as a person.…
Artemis, guilty of the despair she has brought her follower since turning her to a body of water, asked help from Poseidon to clean Alpheus. The Olympian willingly agreed and rode his golden carriage to Alpheus’ river waters. He gathered the filthy liquid material and solidified it until it turned into a big black rock. Alpheus then expressed his deepest gratitude to the mighty god of the sea who, in turn, happily commanded him to rush to Arethusa’s basin at…
Mistakes are key to making discoveries. Some of the mistakes may not be worth what was discovered but no matter how you look at it, you can’t make a mistake and not make a discovery. You can’t make a discovery without making a mistake. The “Goofs and Great Inventions” passage set proves this in each of the passages.…
Christian archaeologists who have spent decades looking for the lost Roman city believed to be the birthplace of three of Jesus’ apostles may have finally found what they were looking for in the upper Jordan Valley.…
The legend of the Lost Civilization of Atlantis has intrigued people from all walks of life for centuries… over two millennia actually. From Plato’s writings the story may have actually been written in stone being as the story was passed on from ancient Egyptians. Atlantis is probably one of the most inspirational “lost civilizations” in recorded history. It doesn’t matter which story you’ve read or what documentary you’ve watched, the origin of this epic deviates very little. There are a couple theories on when it existed and many more where it existed.…
He describes it in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias. He explains that he heard of this fascinating city from his grandfather. “Plato’s Critias says he heard the story of Atlantis from his grandfather, who had heard it from the Athenian statesman Solon (300 years before Plato’s time), who had learned it from an Egyptian priest, who said it had happened 9,000 years before that.” (History.com Staff, 2010) Although Plato was the first written record of Atlantis, there were people even before him that can recall the lost city.…
