The 365 day solar calendars are much more practical and accurate than 29.5 day moon calendars. As the lunar calendar is governed by the cycle of 29 and a half days of the moon, in ancient times it was much used for the resemblance to the menstrual period of the woman, and with the pregnancy time of 10 lunar months. However, it can't be compared to the accuracy of the solar calendar, which also brings together the four seasons of the year, and it was the most popular in the West since lunar cycles are inaccurates for modern requirements. This because each month would have half a day that would be lost or added to next month, but finally at the end of the year, the lunar cycles would not fit well with the human lunar calendar.

How did bonnie and clyde achieve the American dream?
tester [92]

Answer:

Their legend has to be seen in the context of the time.

Explanation:

They were seen by many who were suffering because of the Great Depression and The Dust Bowl as almost a couple of Robin Hood characters.

They liked to make a point of letting local people such as farmers keep their money when robbing banks, and the robbing of banks were seen by many in the areas they were operating, as a blow by ordinary people against the financial institutions which were crippling them.

To what extent this was achieving the American Dream is open to question. They were killers who did not hesitate in killing anyone who threatened their arrest. This is undisputedly the case with Clyde Barrow. There are conflicting arguments as to how much direct involvement Bonnie Parker had in their killing spree.

Certainly the myth of The American dream was reflected in the thousands who turned up at both funerals.
