For example in the book Pharaohs and Dynasties by Kristine Carlson, she stated that a pharaoh had many wives but only one was the great wife. The son would then become the next pharaoh, and that’s how dynasties start. If the great wife gave birth to a girl then she would be the next great wife.

The pharaohs of the New Kingdom were the most powerful pharaohs of ancient Egypt because Ramses II was the most successful pharaoh, they gained control through conquest, and they developed relations. In Chapter 5, lesson 3 of “Discovering our Past: A History of our World” (our social studies textbook) it states “Ramses conquered the region of Canaan and moved north into Syria. To get this territory, he fought the Hittites”. This proves that Ramses II (also known as “Ramses the Great”), was very powerful, for the Hittites were smart and very hard to beat. “The Hittites were among the first people to master ironworking.

“Now is the dreadful hour come, that I have often heard of (in time of war, as it was the case of others), but now mine eyes see it,” writes Mary Rowlandson in her true-to-life account of her captivity among the Native Americans, and the attack that changed her life (258). This attack, which was a part of a series of battles that occurred during King Phillip’s War against the colonists in 1675, resulted in the loss of Rowlandson’s family, friends, community, and home. In A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, she chronicles this period of fearing for her life that lasted eleven weeks until she was granted the freedom to return to what remained of her previous existence, with only some sense of her former self

My Standpoint Civil Disobedience is an effective method of change that has been used throughout history against unjust laws. “Antigone” The story of “Antigone” uses this idea of civil disobedience through Antigone who defies the law given by her new king. As Creon starts off his first day of work he is emotional due to the loss of his eldest son. Because Creon is so emotional, he states that the person who brought war to the land causing his eldest son’s death, shall not be buried.

God then agrees to assist Moses on his journey, by teaching him everything that he needs to know. Without this assertive personality of God, Moses would never make it out of town. Once Moses, along with God and Aaron at his side, finally make it to Egypt, the Pharoah refuses to let the people go. With the Pharaoh protesting all exemptions of the Israelites, God tells Moses, “...take your rod and stretch over the waters of Egypt...that they may become blood…” This brings forth the first plague sent to the Israelites.

An example of this being Poisiden delaying Odysses's boat journey with challenges/weather for blinding his son, the cyclops, and then bragging about how great he was. I personally do not think that the Gods control humans, but they do interfere and influence their behavior-more or less making a moral code if you will. I think this because Humans choose their behavior and actions, yet they are guided into making
