My drawing depicts 3 scenes from this selection. The first frame shows Niska stalking the french hunter from behind a bush. This is important because from the first time she saw him, she was immediately interested in him and started to plot a few things to mess with him. She followed the french hunter wherever he went and studied his every move. In the second frame I drew the french hunter following the tracks to Niska’s askihkan.

shields. The Hittites body amour was composed of overlapping bronze scales that deflected or trapped arrows. In addition, the Hittites wore bronze helmets as well to protect the head against arrows and blows from axes. For additional protection in close combat, especially from edged weapons, a shield was used to parry attacks. The Hittites favored two types of shields, the circular and figure eight, believed to be utilized by the Chariot squad. Both were lightweight, constructed of wood and overlaid
soldiers. During this essay, I will talk about the different type of weapons that I listed earlier. The rifles of the Civil War came in a lot of variations. Rifles usually were used up close because their accuracy and range were not that great. The Springfield rifle was the infantry’s main weapon out on the battle field. Its long barrel and accuracy made it ideal for the front lines. The Colt revolving rifle was a popular gun because of its ability to shoot fast and pack a punch. Spencer repeating

Only the most honorable warriors, who dies in battle or if executed by the way of blood eagle (the victims will be on his knees and held up by two hooks and they take an ax to his back to break away the ribs, then take his lungs and place them on his shoulders) without making a sound, will go to Valhalla

So they were sitting ducks if they didn’t get in close contact with English ships. Ultimately, the Spanish lost and this battle introduced a new long-range battle focused on naval sea forces.

the music. I paid close attention to the word play used, the rhyme schemes used, the choice in samples and other various aspects to a short, barely three minute song. It was when I did this that I found out how open of a world hip-hop is. For the quarter I can easily see myself on the various of hip-hop music making and the culture surrounding the music. So now that I was confident in what I am going to write, I had to make sure that though I could write about it for a quarter, that there was

The Roman army wanted to keep the best soldiers out of the new recruits and get rid of the ones that wouldn’t last, so they would put the recruits in the front lines of battles to narrow down the numbers, while keeping the ones that survive.
