May 17, 1980, was a quiet day in Silver Lake, Washington. If you had been there, you probably would have seen Mount St. Helens,

one of the state’s famous mountains. The mountain looked like a cone capped with snow. It rose from a valley of deep green trees and bright blue lakes. Mount St. Helens is volcanic. Scientists were watching the mountain carefully that spring. For two months, they recorded small earthquakes near the mountain. Steam spewed from its top. And yet, from a distance, the mountain looked picture-perfect. On May 18, 1980, an earthquake shook the mountain. The mountain’s white dome collapsed. Rocks and snow tore down the mountainside. The volcano erupted. A giant mushroom-shaped cloud of ash and steam rose into the sky. A river of hot lava flowed down the mountain, scorching acres of wildlife. Mudflows, made up of melted snow and debris, buried plants and trees. In some places, the mudflows were over 300 feet deep!

Answer:

when it was part of the Texas black history and they still had them divided the white people and the black people and the white people had stuff that the black people didn't and they had better rights than the other. they had to be separated for everything because they didn't have the same color skin and that they didn't like that kind of person that they were.The people was also cruel at that time because some of them were slaves from the white people and then having to separate them that is too much for them because they had to work a lot and sometimes they didn't pay them but peoples  life changed a lot when everything was over thanks to Abraham Lincoln.some difference of this picture is that the white people had always the better things and that the black people didn't and the black people and the white people could not do something that a white person could do.

What courageous actions do Achilles, Hector and Priam perform?
Paul [167]

<u>Courageous actions of Achilles, Hector and Priam:</u>

Achilles, Hector and Priam are characters of Homer’s Iliad.  Achilles was the son of Peleus, a King and Thetis, a sea nymph. Achilles is remembered as the greatest Greek Hero. One of the non-Homeric tales says that after his birth, his mother, in order to make him immortal, dipped him in the River Styx.

However, his left heel remained vulnerable. It turned out to be his weakness and led to his death when an arrow was shot at his heel by Paris, Priam’s son.  The Iliad makes no mention of his death but Odyssey mentions his funeral.

His courage in the Trojan War has been iconic. He butchers many soldiers of the opposing army. He is the dreaded one and his armor is the envy of friend and foe alike. In fact, Iliad is the story of Achilles’ fury.

His most impressive feat was that he killed Hector, another fine warrior, leading the Trojans. His cleverness in dragging Hector out of the gates of Troy and then killing him was no small feat. Apart from that, he also killed many a man of the Trojan army. He ravaged the country around Troy for nine years, taking over 12 cities. When he left Agamemnon’s army on differences with Agamemnon, the Greeks were battered by Hector.

Hector was a prince of Troy, the eldest son of Priam - the Trojan King. He leads the Trojans in the war standing up for his family and Troy.

Quite courageous, he defends his side with a true warrior’s wisdom and almost succeeds in driving the Greeks back to their ships and almost burning the ships after Achilles leaves the Greeks. He also kills Patroclus, Achilles’ friend, who comes to help the Greeks disguised as Achilles.

Hector, however, is killed by Achilles who returns to war to avenge the death of Patroclus.  

Priam was the last king of Troy. A father of  fifty sons and many daughters , he emerges as being quite courageous when he refuses to blame Helen , the cause of the Trojan War and the wife of Paris , his son for all his personal and material losses in the Trojan War. Paris and Hector were his favorites among his sons. He loses thirteen of his sons besides Hector. The death of Hector shatters him but he still, as another act of courage, faces the wrath of the enraged Achilles to get back the corpse of Hector.
