I would say the british are right up there. But there are other people who developed world-changing technology and inventions also. British were/are great, but some of the bad things they did are not so hot either. And they would be the first to admit it. Still, GOD save the British People

No. China has you beat. Actually the inventors of sustained agriculture win by allowing civilization to develop at all. I think it was developed simultaneously in several areas, well before the existence of British people.

I think so yes. People go on about the ancient chinese and greeks, etc, but without the industrial revolution, we would be living vastly different lives today. No cars, telephones, computers, domestic appliances, etc, and food would be only the stuff you could get from very nearby.

we are speaking english and live under democratic principles from the magna carta. But since the first country you mentioned that Britain created was Israel, and that only because zionists bombed King David Hotell [British HQ] jerusalem 1948 and executed hundreds of Brit soldiers and civilians. But jews may be the most illustrious because they run UK USA politics and economy. But I go with UK any day.

Now look at them. The Politically Correct multicultural sun has set on Britain forever and the "crescent moon" is rising. The British are now on a guilt trip who hate their own race and heritage and the left loves it.

Need Poetry Homework Help. What is author's intent for Ashes of Soldiers?
i am not creative. i cant think of a good answer. heres to poem so you dont have to look for it.

Ashes of soldiers South or North,
As I muse retrospective murmuring a chant in thought,
The war resumes, again to my sense your shapes,
And again the advance of the armies.
Noiseless as mists and vapors,
From their graves in the trenches ascending,
From cemeteries all through Virginia and Tennessee,
From every point of the compass out of the countless graves,
In wafted clouds, in myriads large, or squads of twos or threes or
single ones they come,
And silently gather round me.
Now sound no note O trumpeters,
Not at the head of my cavalry parading on spirited horses,
With sabres drawn and glistening, and carbines by their thighs, (ah
my brave horsemen!
My handsome tan-faced horsemen! what life, what joy and pride,
With all the perils were yours.)
Nor you drummers, neither at reveille at dawn,
Nor the long roll alarming the camp, nor even the muffled beat for burial,
Nothing from you this time O drummers bearing my warlike drums.
But aside from these and the marts of wealth and the crowded promenade,
Admitting around me comrades close unseen by the rest and voiceless,
The slain elate and alive again, the dust and debris alive,
I chant this chant of my silent soul in the name of all dead soldiers.
Faces so pale with wondrous eyes, very dear, gather closer yet,
Draw close, but speak not.
Phantoms of countless lost,
Invisible to the rest henceforth become my companions,
Follow me ever–desert me not while I live.
Sweet are the blooming cheeks of the living–sweet are the musical
voices sounding,
But sweet, ah sweet, are the dead with their silent eyes.
Dearest comrades, all is over and long gone,
But love is not over–and what love, O comrades!
Perfume from battle-fields rising, up from the foetor arising.
Perfume therefore my chant, O love, immortal love,
Give me to bathe the memories of all dead soldiers,
Shroud them, embalm them, cover them all over with tender pride.
Perfume all–make all wholesome,
Make these ashes to nourish and blossom,
O love, solve all, fructify all with the last chemistry.
Give me exhaustless, make me a fountain,
That I exhale love from me wherever I go like a moist perennial dew,
For the ashes of all dead soldiers South or North.

hmm when shes gone u will have me in bed

you need to really tell her how you feel, and how much its tearing you up. if she doesnt feel the same way, you need to let her just live her life and wish her the best. i think its important you tell her these things, not actually stop her, have a heart to heart with her and if its not the same with her, than you need to move on
Theresa | Feb 04, 2010

I think you are the best judge here. Go after your feelings, or whatever you think will make you comfortable, you might regret not talking to her and stopping her, if you are really into her, you should tell her. You never know what happens, she might come back, I’ve met a lot of poeple who said that they will never come back to their home town but at the end they did. Don’t loose hope, give yourself another chance

Where in Italy is she going because i have family there.. not too easy there at all. not to mention, lets say she does succeed then the MOB is going to want a cut of everything or else theyll set fire to her business ..or her. This isnt a movie its real…

Well Chris, I’m 21 and I’m going through the same thing. I’m in love with a beautiful blonde green-eyed snow-white literature teacher from Latin America, almost ten years older. She is the kind of woman who is the very most difficult to get over.

I’m not going to stop talking to her, but I find that thinking about my own self-development, helps me when I’m obsessed. I’m learning to live and work primarily on myself, so that one day I may exude the same air on some others in the world that she does on me. I think that the expressive arts are my salvation.

I still want to look more attractive, pursue prestigious degrees, make a lot of money, travel the world, write… I know that in any case, this is going to help me more than pining over her day and night, because even the catharsis of my deepest, most exhaustive emotional depths doesn’t stir anything in her heart.

This is a good solution, don’t you think?

there is something missing in this story.it all may have to do with you being a mommas boy. could be that you forgot to be supportiveto her and her son. i know the child is not yours.but she needs someone to help her out. and that is why she is moving.because she is getting nowhere. my best advise. let her go. and support your family. good luck.and thanks for helping our country.

What are some other books similar to Johnny Got His Gun & 1984?
Some books that are anti-war and show the absolute horror of war, or something with the government controlling everyone or something like that, or a combination of all the above. Any ideas?
________________________________________

---

If you like 1984, then you might enjoy Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Brave New World deals with a (possibly) dystopic future that is essentially the polar opposite of the one in 1984. Instead of the government controlling people with what they fear, society basically brainwashes itself with drugs and TV. Fahrenheit 451 is more similar to 1984, and deals with government control through censorship.

Books similar to Johnny Got his Gun would be things like All’s Quiet on the Western Front, and the even older Red Badge of Courage.

can someone help he find some examples in an english poem?
the lady of shalott by alfred tennyson
could someone help me help me find examples of alliteration, allusion, Assonance. Consonance, Imagery, Metaphor, Onomatopoeia, Personification, repetition, Simile, Symbol, Rhyme, Rhythm
Tone/mood, and Vocabulary in this poem

On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro’ the field the road runs by
To many-tower’d Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.

Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four grey walls, and four grey towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.

By the margin, willow veil’d,
Slide the heavy barges trail’d
By slow horses; and unhail’d
The shallop flitteth silken-sail’d
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?

Only reapers, reaping early,
In among the bearded barley
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly;
Down to tower’d Camelot;
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
Listening, whispers, " ‘Tis the fairy
Lady of Shalott."

There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.

And moving through a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot;
There the river eddy whirls,
And there the surly village churls,
And the red cloaks of market girls
Pass onward from Shalott.

Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
An abbot on an ambling pad,
Sometimes a curly shepherd lad,
Or long-hair’d page in crimson clad
Goes by to tower’d Camelot;
And sometimes through the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two.
She hath no loyal Knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror’s magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot;
Or when the Moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed.
"I am half sick of shadows," said
The Lady of Shalott.

A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
He rode between the barley sheaves,
The sun came dazzling thro’ the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneel’d
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott.

The gemmy bridle glitter’d free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down to Camelot:
And from his blazon’d baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armor rung
Beside remote Shalott.

All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jewell’d shone the saddle-leather,
The helmet and the helmet-feather
Burn’d like one burning flame together,
As he rode down to Camelot.
As often thro’ the purple night,
Below the starry clusters bright,
Some bearded meteor, burning bright,
Moves over still Shalott.

His broad clear brow in sunlight glow’d;
On burnish’d hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow’d
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flashed into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra lirra," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look’d down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack’d from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.

In the stormy east-wind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining.
Heavily the low sky raining
Over tower’d Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And around about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott.

And down the river’s dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance —
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.

Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right —
The leaves upon her falling light —
Thro’ the noises of the night,
She floated down to Camelot:
And as

---

The Pacific is being produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman in association with HBO Films, Playtone, Dreamworks, and Seven Network.[4] Seven invested in the project for the right to broadcast it in Australia.[5] Nine Network has previously broadcast the HBO productions of The Sopranos and Band of Brothers. Nine had a broadcast deal with HBO’s parent Warner Bros., but then HBO started to distribute its own productions separately.[6]

Dale Dye (USMC, Ret.) and his company, Warriors,Inc. were the Military Techical Advisors. (31)

In April 2007 the producers set up a production office in Melbourne and began casting.[7]

Filming of the series in Australia, started August 10, 2007,[8] and finished in late May 2008.[9]

As of April 2009 the score is being finalized and the series is estimated to premiere in March 2010.[2]
