Roman sighed as he walked through the front door and into his house. It was day 3 and Virgil still hadn’t woken up. He tried to stay, made every excuse that Virgil could wake up any moment, but Logan had sent him home to take a shower and sleep in his own bed.
Setting his bag down, he walked to his room before grabbing a pair of lounge clothes. No point in dressing nice when nobody would see him. Besides, he wasn’t sure he had the will to dress any nicer than sweatpants and a t-shirt.
Roman walked into the bathroom and turned the water on, making sure that it was colder than usual. If he was being forced to stay home, he was going to make sure he was awake in case Virgil woke up.
Taking a deep breath, he began to strip down before stepping in the shower, shivering at the temperature as his body slowly adjusted to the cold. He ran his hands through his hair making sure to get all the tangles before lathering in some shampoo. …show more content…

What if Virgil didn’t wake up soon? What if Virgil didn’t wake up at all? What if when he did, he forget about all of them? What if he only forgot about Roman? What if he hated Roman for not protecting him?
A whimper slipped past his lips as his eyes clenched shut. The tears that streamed down his face mixed with the shower water, hiding any traces that they existed.
He needed to relax, worrying about it wouldn’t help anyone. Especially not him, and it would definitely not help Virgil.
Breathing out a shaky breath, he turned and shut off the water before stepping out and wrapping a towel around his waist. He grabbed another one and began drying his hair off with it before tossing it into the bin and exiting the

On the subject on self-serving bias, the poet Virgil was slightly biased towards the Greeks. The website hope.edu gave more background upon Virgil than Belleville West’s literature textbooks. Virgil desired to create a war epic, and because he had such an immense capacity for storytelling, it granted a poet “to do for Rome what Homer had done for Greece.” It appears as if Virgil set out to write The Aeneid to bring a sense of victory to Rome, to bring a sense of righteousness to Rome’s citizens. The epic displays the Greeks easily as awful, brutal people, whilst the Trojans are showcased as the victims.

The following quote gives an example of this: “As an adult, Virgil had experienced the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey, which ended with Caesar’s becoming the undisputed ruler of Rome” (Moss and Wilson). Due to how significant the conflict was at the time and the violence associated with it, there is a large possibility that this environment played a role in how The Aeneid played out. With how common it was for people to kill each other at the time, Virgil may have believed that Turnus’s death was the only logical outcome of the duel between him and Aeneas. Additionally, “By his death in 19 BCE, Virgil had experienced about a decade of peace under Augustus, the longest calm Rome had known in almost a century” (Moss and Wilson). After spending many years surrounded by war, enjoying a time of peace would likely cause Virgil to think highly of whoever made it possible.

When the poet Virgil wrote the national epic The Aeneid between 29 and 19 BC, all written works and conduits for creative expression were monitored by Roman ruler Augustus Caesar – a real-life contention between passion and control. Throughout the excerpt on pages 139 and 140 of Fagle’s translation (which covers themes such as fate, the gods, and divine intervention, and piety), Virgil explores the underlying theme of conflict between desire and duty, emotion, and reason. Exploring irony, the comparison of Dido and Aeneas’ traits, and pietas being a decision, Virgil shows Aeneas to be a flawed, enigmatic epic Roman hero who personifies the human conflict – passion versus control – of the Aeneid and the Roman empire itself. To begin with, it’s

HIV/AIDS was considered to be most prominent in, although not contained to, Africa, south of the Sarah desert. It spread throughout the world quickly with different strands to release the unanswered question: how do we treat aids? Some countries were able to reduce the amount of victims taken in by this disease while others rapidly increasing without the slightest idea of how to stop it. In 1990, about 1 percent of the population in Brazil was said to have HIV/AIDS, however since then they have been able to lower the number closer to 0.6 percent. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Sub- Saharan region of Africa has had an unfortunate increase in cases to about 30 percent of citizens.
