Pre Read for the Iliad

1. I believe that there are many things an individual would want to fight for, maybe even die for infact. For me personally i would fight and die for those that i care for. It sounds a bit extreme but i know that those i care for would do the same for me. Its not a hard thing to want to fight for something, just as long as you feel passionate about it, you'll be suprised that lenghts that you will go to protect whatever it is your trying to keep safe.

2. My father is one i would say follows a code of honor in his conduct. because of the recent recession he has been forced to make tough choices when dealing with those he..to be continued.

3. It sounds a bit rediculous, someone being guided or "touched" by a divine power. You hear people regularly proclaim that they have, and most of the time they turn out to be some crazy homeless guy who spends his time talking to himself. However, i know of someone very close and dear who has had a said touching experience. I believe that he has because of the changes he made in his life. Devin is my older brother, there is approximately four years seperating us and we happen to be right next to eachother in the line up of children. Devin has often regarded himself as the "middle child" or the "black sheep" of the family and actually, for a while, we thought that he was. The way he handled situations, his outlook on life was so much different to that of the rest of the family, that we were very much so convinced that he was different. After he began high school Devin began making choices and decisions that he would greatly regret in the later years of his life. My parents and the rest of the family were very concerned about the path he was going down. Seemed like at every corner things were getting worse and worse. Two years after graduating from high school it seemed Devin's life had come to a complete stand still, he hadn't seen progression whatsoever in every aspect of his life. He hadn't been accepted to college, a church mission didn't look like it would happen, his friends were still making dumb choices and now my parents were threatening to cut him off completely. After coming to the realization that if he didn't pull it together he would either wind up on the streets or in jail , he decided to start taking church more seriously. He began by daily prayer and scripture study, he constantly asked for forgivness for his actions and those that he hurt. Finally one day he said that after saying prayer he suddenly had a very calming feeling come over him. after returning home i saw a new and improved older brother that i finally got along with. He is currently serving a church mission in Philidelphia Pennsylvania and is doing well.
