Is the story of the Trojan Horse true?

Have you heard of the Trojan war before? Many people are still puzzled if the Trojan war was real or just a story someone made up just so their child would go to sleep. The whole story starts with the most beautiful woman in the world. (Isn't that always the way?) Helen was married to a Greek king. She was taken away after she was seduced by the prince of troy, Paris. Well as you might have guessed, it did not sit well with the Greeks. So they go in to war which went on for ten years. After a while they decide to use trickery. They left a wooden horse outside of troy. Which the Trojans bring inside. In the night the Greeks climb out of the wooden horse and opened the gates of troy.

Turns out that the destroying of Troy was not started because of love for the same woman. It was a war started because of greed and territory.

I know your probably wondering where does the Trojan horse come in at? In fact there are no clues in the text or in archeology record. In fact it proves that Homer was an amazing Story teller.

Acheivements and Setbacks

In what ways do the lives of great leaders show a mixture of achievements and setbacks? Through saving a life or losing one. Passing a bill or not passing a bill. Do you think less of leaders who show weakness or encounter failure? Sometimes yes, because sometimes it shows they won't be able to be strong for the people when something bigger comes along.

Life with out an Alphabet

If there was suddenly no alphabet in life then I think we would have a little bit harder time communicating with each other. We would not be able to talk, read or write. We would have to find another way to communicate easier with each other. It would be like we were babies again learning a new language. Life would become a little harder.

Freewriting resumes

When I did my resume I took my old one I had and I revised it. I revised it because I realized that some of the things I had written were either on nessacery or were to much information that was given. I learned that everything is not nessacery to be put on a resume. My perceptions on freewriting about resumes have changed a little bit. But I do understand it better now.
