lubasha [3.4K]

I was sixteen years old, it was my birthday when father took me and my sibling a science world museum in Vancouver in Canada. It was my first visit there and as the name suggest, I was wondering it will be boring and educational type museum only. As we reached there, I entered the museum after paying ticket. I was not really excited as I though it will be waste of my day.

When I went inside the museum, I was completely surprise to see there physics, biology and chemistry all together in a completely different manner. There were few structures which demonstrated how human body function, there were some mechanical machines created with wood which complemented physics.

When I went further into a large lounge there was a huge piano which a person can play by walking on the keys. It was so much fun playing music along with dance. There was lift yourself activity, which is just like a manual jumpin ride, in which you pull yourself up through a rope attached to a pulley.

When It was 6 in the evening my father asked us to go back to home but I suddenly asked him When we will be here again? This place is so much fun. I had no idea my birthday will be so much wonderful after visiting this place. This was fun along with learning. One of the most memorable day of my entire life.

By the waters of Babylon summary—> PLEASE help as much as you can. I need this before 12:00 am. I appreciate it.
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

“By the Waters of Babylon” is set in a post-apocalyptic, post-technological world where people hunt for their food with bows and arrows and their priests scavenge the “Dead Places” for metal. John, the protagonist and first-person narrator, belongs to the tribe of the Hill People and is the son of a priest. The Hill People consider themselves culturally superior to the rival tribe of the Forest People, and live by dogmatic laws that, among other things, forbid them from traveling east, crossing the Ou-dis-son river, visiting the Place of the Gods (which was destroyed in “The Great Burning”), and saying the true name of the Place of the Gods.

John’s father and the other priests teach John reading, writing, healing, and “magic,” and John is fascinated by the stories about the gods. The story follows John on his initiation quest, a journey he undertakes in order to be recognized by his tribe as a man and a priest. John chooses the path of his journey based on visions and his reading of signs in the natural world. John’s desire for new knowledge leads him to break many of the laws of his tribe. He travels to the Place of the Gods, even though he is afraid that he will die there. Instead, he discovers that many of the stories about the Place of the Gods are inaccurate. The island is not filled with magical mists, the ground is not burning with eternal flames, nor is it populated by spirits and demons. Instead, John finds a vast Dead Place, a city of ruined towers. As he explores the city and learns more and more, John’s sense of fear diminishes.
