In the painting, Cronus Devouring His Children by Francisco de Goya, the blood everywhere and the man with the long hair eating his child indicates the cruelty and lack of sympathy of an uncaring father.

Even though alof of men died for me I am pretty happy because I am the future heroine of Troy!!!
So many men want to marry me but my dad has to choose which one.. I am afraid he is going to choose the wrong one… I don’t know what to do
 
Oh my I am so tired of getting kidnapped by all these men I have never even met before. I am going to lock myself in my room FOREVER!!
 
Men keep telling me that I have the face of an immortal spirt. I wish I was ugly!!

Jonathan Livingston Seagull Book Review

The book Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach is about a seagull named Jonathan and he loves to fly, while the other seagulls are looking for food he is flying. He loves the view of the brilliant blue ocean water. The book states; when he came to, it was well after dark, and he floated in moonlight on the surface of the ocean. This book gives a lot of details about the way Jonathan was feeling about the other gulls and the sight that he sees around him. I like the way the book takes a break from using so much detail and puts pictures of the seagull flying and diving.  I would only recommend this book to people who like wildlife and seagulls. If you are a fan of the ocean or beach, the book might make you feel like you are there.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

Aristotle

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher. He influenced the world because a lot of people read his work. Aristotle lived from 384 b.c. to 322 b.c. He wrote this to show that education starts very hard, but you get a great reward. People are also getting knowledge in other subjects. People will be proud of there accomplishments. The quote means that sometimes I have to go through something bad to get to something good. I picked this quote because it makes a lot of sense to me.
