- 964: Gilgamesh
- The story of Gilamesh seems to relate to stories of the bible in some instances, but in others it seems like some great writers were at work when they created this story. For instance when I read the book The line "Gilgamesh, two-thirds god and one-third human, is the great-est king on earth and the strongest super-human that ever existed", sound similar to Jesus Christ. It makes me wander which one of these stories is true the bible or Gilgamesh. I have summarized the book to point out which part to me is biblically related. Gilgamesh, two-thirds god and one-third human, is the great-est king on earth and the Strongest super-human that ever existed; however, he is young and oppresses his people harshly.

- 966: Ancient Greeks' Way of Life: Loyalty, Devotion, Fortitude
- ... for this paper is loyalty, devotion, and fortitude. I think Penelope, Odysseus' crew, and Odysseus all showed one, if not more of these traits. Penelope for example showed all of the aforementioned qualities. She showed great loyalty to her husband, in the many years he was absent from his wife and kingdom, as the quote, “…with native Ithicans here to court me, against my wishes…” shows (pg. 728). The quote says that even with countless numbers of men asking for her affections, she simply turned away in hopes that her husband would one-day return. Penelope also showed great fortitude and devotion. By allowing the suitors into her home, and being a gracious host, even though she knew exactly why they were there, and even though they were rude guests, Penelope showed devotion to the 1 gods, who said that guests should be welcomed into the home any time, and cared for as if they were ones closest friends. “So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it…” (pg. 728). This quote speaks of the shroud she told the suitors that she must weave for her husband before she could choose one of ...

The final chapter deals with what Michener refers to as "The Golden Men": Those who lived in Haw (not necessarily Hawaiians) who contributed a great deal to the islands and their people. Since Hawaii covers such a huge time span, there are a great many plots and sub-plots, all of which show the different situations that each of the many "types" of Hawaiians are confronted with. Michener uses mostly specific, fictional details to support the general ideas of the islands and their various people, that he conveys through Hawaii. I will go into more detail about the plot in the "Documentation" section. Michener's Hawaii is a superb example of a great work of literature. He paints vivid literal pictures of various scenes throughout the novel. For example, in the first chapter, the Pacific Ocean is described: "Scores of millions of years before man had risen ...
