Kiel is the capital of Schleswig-Holstein. Schleswig-Holstein is located in West Germany. Kiel is located at the head of Kieler Förde which is an inlet of the Baltic Sea. During World War II three-fourths of the city was destroyed by bombs. Kiel was a major naval base during the war.

It was built between1233-1244. The Old Market has been rebuilt in modern style and is used as a center for a network of shopping streets. There are no cars allowed in this area. A modern Cultural Center has replaced the castle that used to guard Old Town. The western shore of the Förde is where the Kiel's famous Oceanographic Institute and the State Parliament are locacted. The Kieler Förde is the best natural harbor on the Baltic. That is why it has been the principal base for the German Navy. In 1866 Kiel became part of Prussia. Kiel saw a rapid growth in population between 1866 and 1914. While the Nazi's were in control Hitler built up the Navy in Kiel. Kiel's economy got away from its large concern with the Navy and shipbuilding after the war. Kiel is the place that all German yachtsmen dream of. Kiel also has a nice sized university. The school offers a large array of subjects and was founded in 1665. Many of the students like to sail in there spare time. Kiel is also the home to one of Germany's largest indoor shopping centers.

Denmark Vesey was an African-American leader of an attempted slave insurrection in 1822. After many years as a slave, he won $1,500 in a lottery. Vesey used this money to purchase his freedom. He used his intelligence, energy, and luck to acquire considerable wealth and influence in South Carolina. All of these factors helped lead to the largest attempted slave revolt in American history. David Robertson’s book Denmark Vesey outlines his life as a slave, to his freedom, to his execution, and the consequences of the aftermath.
So many Americans today are in the dark about the true origin of the African descent. From my past experiences in history classes, the teacher of coarse job is to teach from the textbook. The problem with that is the whole truth does not lie between those pages of how African culture became about. I will discuss the first king of Egypt and how his story applies today.

As seen after Enkidu tells him of his dream. He calls the place he visited, Irkalla, “... The house from which none who enter ever returns, down the road from which there is no coming back…” He also spoke of a unworldly fiend that was half man-half bird and had a somber vampires face. He said the man bird turned his arms into wings and took him to Irkalla, where he saw people there who were kings,who ruled the earth “realm”, and priest thought to be holy, all were servants now in the darnkess.So after listening to Enkidus dream Gilgamesh says, “... We must treasure the dreamwhatever the terror;for the dream shown that misery comes even to the healthiest man, the end of life is sorrow…” This why Gilgamesh had so much paranoia and grief, because of the horrible fate he knew was awaiting, like when he proclaimed he felt he could not escape death, that it was everywhere, even on the very ground he walk on. Which is the cause of Gilgamesh's quest of the 12 leagues of darkness in which he seeks answers from the only immortal man, Utnapishtim. When he finally gets the secret of immortality and loses it, it’s okay because he subconsciously intakes Utnapishtim’s advice about immortal
In addition, the city of Danzig was also a very important trade center in Germany. As it was taken away, it limited Germany’s foreign trade, resulting in a decline in the economy. Not only that, all of Germany’s overseas colonies were ceded to the Allies. The land obtained was either split and distributed to other countries, or formed new countries (Background). Of course, Germany did not take these conditions favorably.... ...
After his friend Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh realizes that death is also imminent for him since he is part human. Thus, terrified of his future, Gilgamesh journeys into the underworld in search of immortality but instead finds
Enkidu’s deathly dream involved the Gods anger over the death of Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven. Shamash, the sun god, stands up for the pair of friends. He tells the other Gods that he sent the two on the quest to kill these two characters. Gilgamesh was not able to understand why the Gods would take all their anger out on Enkidu and not him also. The Gods had made up their minds and Enkidu was going to die: “The day he had the dream, his strength ran out. / Enkidu lay there one day, a second day he was ill, / Enkidu lay in his bed, his illness grew worse” (Gilgamesh,
Adding all these factors together, it paints a picture of this New Chinatown that is set in its ways when it comes to the food they eat and prepare.

She allows the reader to identify with her by pointing out that she “went to the zoo all the time with [her] family” and that she “loved pandas” (Carr); the reader identifies with her, as the reader is likely to have visited the zoo as a child or likely to have a love for animals. Initially, she was very excited about seeing the animals so closely, but then she realized, even at that age, the “animals were miserable” (Carr). By telling the reader about her memory, Carr persuades the reader into believing that zoos are depressing and that animals do not belong in unnatural environments. Carr also mentions that she no longer goes to the zoo and urges her family and friends to do the same. The author then adds that she has a love for animals and wishes for the zoo animals to be set free. Again, by involving loved ones and reinforcing her love for animals, Carr appeals to the emotions of the reader. The reader is then likely to identify with the author, urge his or her family members and friends to not go to the zoo, and wish to see animals free from captivity. Therefore, Carr persuades the reader into believing that zoos are wicked by using the persuasive method of pathos. Along with Carr appealing to the reader’s emotions, she appeals to the reader’s

All of these procedures and rituals contribute to the classroom culture and are parts of instructional practices. So when the students come first in, in the morning they have morning circle where they do attendance, weather, lunch choices, how I feel today chart and much more. Each student has a job during morning circle which rotates every day so not every student has the same job. So attendance is kept and done at morning meeting everyday which is important for the teacher to keep
