journal of enslaved prisoner of war Being shaken violently awake is probably the calmest way Aanehtou has been woken up, ever since he became an enslaved POW ( Prisoner of war). Everyday he wakes up at 5 am ,and goes to sleep at well, Aanehtou never really sleeps at night since it's so loud. With all the diseases going around everybody’s coughing and, sneezing, and itching, and whining with pain. Nobody sleeps for really an longer than 1 hour, 2 if you’re lucky. It doesn't help carrying 50 pounds of sand on your back for what it seems like 120,000 miles feeling like a raw piece of fish because of all the whippings on his back. “Get up Aanehtou! Get out of bed. We have to go!” said Aanehtou’s bestest friend Hu So slowly up he got to get ready …show more content…
They cupped their hands put them in the water and drank. It felt like the first time they had ever drank water it was refreshing and made them energetic again. Hu’s and Aanehtou’s backs still stung treme so they crouched down low and but their backs in the water. It was very painful but they had to keep all the pain in so they would not be caught to keep the pain out of there minds Aanehtou said “so did you hear about Ramase and Moses are in a fight because Moses realized that he is one of us?” “yes. Apparently if Ramses doesn’t let us go God is going to do some terrible things. But that was a few days ago.” Said Hu Suddenly, 3 guards turned and looked straight at the nile. Hu and Aanehtou dunked under water but guards were only coming closer. When they were only 6ft away they saw that the guards weren’t just looking at them because they were in trouble they were looking at what they were sitting in. Hu and Aanehtou looked down and saw that the nile river all a sudden was no longer water but red blood. “What on earth!” said Aanehtou “Eww! Wait how is this possible” said …show more content…
I wish pharaoh Ramses would just let us go, so this would all just stop.” said Hu. “Basically everybody’s starving now because of the locus in all the crops the only thing left to eat is meat .” said Aanehtou. “I just hope this dosen’t get any worse.” said Aaa. “I can’t believe all those houses that got destroyed during the fire hail. Do you know how close that ball of fire was to destroying our house Hu?” “yes I know we are very lucky” While Hu and Aanehtou were finishing up their work they noticed that it was getting dark very early and not just a early sunset, pitch black dark so all the guards lit their torches and let the slaves go early “I wonder why it’s so dark this early” said Hu “If this is another strike I am going go up to pharaoh Ramses myself and tell him to let us go.” said Aanehtou “You know you can’t do that Aanehtou. You would get killed before you even get the chance to say a word” said Hu. When they woke up the next morning and went to work they noticed that it wasn’t getting any brighter. When it got to around 9 Am the sun still hadn’t risen This lasted for 3 days. “I heard that Moses warned Ramses that something worse was going to happen if Ramses wouldn’t let us go. Something that Moses didn’t have control over. He told Him to watch his son. Because this strike was going to be worst than any
“I want to throw things at them. I want to scream: Why weren’t you here last night? Why didn’t you save my family?”(221)
I thought angrily. How do You compare to this stricken mass gathered to affirm to You their faith, their anger, their defiance? What does Your grandeur mean, Master of the Universe, in the face of all this cowardice, this decay, and this misery? Why do go on troubling these poor people’s wounded minds, their ailing bodies? … Blessed be God’s name? Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled. … But look at these men whom You have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured, slaughtered, gassed, and burned, what do they do? The pray before You! They praise Your name! … I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes had opened and I was alone, terribly alone in a world without God, without man.” (Wiesel
Ishmael thought for a moment. "Among the people of your culture, which want to destroy the world?"
... the recital, and let him go; also giving general permission to the poets to bewail the tragic end of the Barmecides” (Masoudi 16), thus showing that Haroun is the better man out of the two caliphs.
"4 Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it.” 5 And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab, as the Lord had said. 6 He buried him[g] in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is. 7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. 8 The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was
Moses was given a message from the Lord through the burning bush (Leeming 249). He was told to return to Egypt and to free his people from captivity. Moses showed his uneasiness, but God pushed him and reassured him that he would be by his side. However, He continued on to say that He knew Pharaoh would not let the Israelites go and that He would "stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt will all my wonders" (Leeming 250). Moses did as the Lord told him and confronted Pharaoh, someone he considered family for many years. Moses pleaded with Pharaoh to release the slaves. But as the Lord predicted, Pharaoh did not listen and Egypt was now subject to the wrath of God. He watched as the plagues destroyed the vast Egyptian Empire and a sense of betrayal to his "family" swept over him, but he knew this was as it should be.

Arguably the most venerated and yet despised King of 19th Dynastic Egypt, Ramses II is portrayed by Shelley as the “King of Kings,” highlighting the fact that he was not merely a ruler, but the divinely appointed God above all others (10). The author cleverly deliberates Ozymandias’ power by correlating his inevitable decline to the decay of his temples, illuminating the ephemeral quality of the shared human experience. The once mighty kingdom is gone but still Ozymandias remains a substantial, albeit fragmented, presence. His rule itself is timeless, ironically by the author’s text, firmly embedded in the annals of literature as well as history, echoing the words carved at the base of his gargantuan statue so many eons ago.
The idea of “Moses coming down from Mount Sinai, after forty days,” creates curiosity and expectation in me as it did on they original crowd. I wanted to know what news he had for us.
“We are getting very close men.’’ I said. I was searching for the missing statue of King Rameses the second. That was why I am walking along the Nile River in the blazing sun. It had taken months for me to find the lost pyramid. The trail ended at Alexandria, but after studying several maps and stories, I was sure that the face plate was in Goshen. I hired these second rate guides to take me to the spot. But that didn’t mean I trusted them.
All the students woke up each day, a day closer to seeing the sun with about the range of eight hundred seventy six to nine hundred seventy eight points of seeing the sun and one year left. But what they did not realize one morning they all were getting ready for school they walked outside and all they see is light, glorious light, with no rain, its impossble it has not been seven years, all of the students were jumping up and down. There were a couple mud spots here and there but it was an amazing thing. The teacher had looked at all of the light umbrellas and the twinkly lights she was amazed.

“Well Erak, I guess you’re not part of my problems anymore. The last thing you’ll be seeing are the gales from the storm coming.”
...f the stories that the old men told. Both King Shahrayar and the Demon learned that there are far worse things that people can do to you. Nonetheless, violence is not the only solution.
