My essay on a Greek mythical character is about the infamous Zeus. Zeus is the god of the sky, lightning and the thunder in Ancient Greek religion and legends, and ruler of all the gods on Mount Olympus. Zeus is the sixth child of Kronos and Rhea, king and queen of the Titans. Zeus is featured in many other Greek tales, however, they’re very different from one another. In most traditions, he is married to Hera, by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus. At the oracle of Dodona, his consort was said to be Dionee, by whom the Iliad states that he fathered Aphrodite. Zeus was also infamous for his erotic escapades. He’s also quite famous with the goddesses, Zeus had made love to one of the Pleiades, Maia, who gave birth to the tricky messenger of the gods, Hermes. Before Zeus was god of gods, his father, Cronus was the god of all gods until he was overthrown by Zeus. Zeus’s sons were Ares, the god of war, Hebe, the goddess of youth, and Hephaestus, the god of fire. Hephaestus limped whenever he walked, on some accounts it was because he was born lame so his mother, Hera, threw him off the side of Mount Olympus. According to others he acquired the limp because he interceded in a fight between Zeus and Hera, and Zeus took him by the foot and threw him from Olympus to the earth far below. In some stories Zeus was overthrown by Typhon, a gigantic son of Gaia, the Earth, and Tartarus. Typhon was born to avenge the Titans and depose the Olympians. Though some believe Zeus was undoubtably the victor.
There are many exotic animals all over the world that live in the wild. There are many species and some are extinct. Exotic animals are very expensive that require more than what people realize. These animals belong in their natural habitats. It is wrong and cruel for the animals that have to live in captivity when they are meant to live in the wild. Taking exotic animals out of the wild disrupts the natural food chain and negatively affects natural selection. Exotic animals belong in the wild because the reason they are exotic is because they cannot be tamed like any other pet, and if they can’t be tamed, they can become a harm to the owner and to others that the animal feel threatened by. Injury and possibly death is likely to happen under such circumstances of the animals being neglected. Another reason why I believe that exotic animals do not belong under human captivity as pets is because it is harmful to the pets and the nature of them. Some animals need their families to survive and they also need to learn to hunt in order for them to survive. Once an exotic animal becomes the pet of someone, it becomes dependent which is unhealthy for the animal, especially if they are brought under captivity at such an early age. Owning exotic animals as keeping them as pets should be illegal is what I believe is right. Exotic animals kept as house pets are a hazard to the pet owners and any other people around the world
A narrative or story is a summary of related events presented to audiences or readers, in words arranged in a logical sequence. The word derives from the Latin verb narrare, "to tell", which is derived from the adjective gnarus, "knowing" or "skilled". Storytelling is a fundamental part of human nature. Man is the only animal that tells stories, and we have been telling stories and listening to them since the time we learned to speak.
Narratives must be presented in a logical sequence because they are a particular way of explaining or understanding events. Otherwise, the lack of logical sequence will lead to a complete thematic misunderstanding.
