How brutal Achilles is?

Achilles is the bravest and toughest warrior of the Acheans. Achilles is the son of Peleus and the goddess Thetis. He is the enemy of Apollo, he wanted to kill Apollo but he's not that too powerful as Apollo was. Achilles set off and went into the city of Troy, he ran so fast sprinting with his legs and feet like a prize winning horse that pulls a chariot at full speed. His chest was covered by an armor of bronze. He shines like a star called Orions' dog. When he is about to fight Hector he looked like Enyalius the god of battle with shining helmet. When he chased Hector, he is so fast just as a mountain falcon that swoops down easily its prey. Hector was brave but compared to Achilles he is nothing. In book 22 Achilles was described as a godlike because of his strength. Achilles was too eager to kill Hector, he obeyed Athenas plan. I can say that Achilles is a good fighter and a very smart soldier. But Achilles brutally kills people like what he did to King Priams' sons and daughters. He took many from Priams' valiant sons and daughters. Others he butchered, some were sold in far away lands. daughters were hauled away. Houses were ransacked and many died. Others were eaten by dogs and birds. Their little children, tossed down on the ground. Hectors mother knew that if Achilles kills Hector she'll never lay out his body and mourn for it because Achilles will get Hectors body. Achilles said to Hector "I wish I had the heart and strength to carve you up and eat you up completely" (22.440.230). Hector knew that Achilles' heart and mind are iron, he knew that Achilles wont pity him. And when Hector breathed his last, Achilles made a monstrous act to Hectors body. he cut through the tendons behind both feet from heel to ankle threaded them with ox-hide thongs and then tied these onto his chariot then lashed his horses, they sped off eagerly dragging Hectors body (22.510.231-232).

WHATS THE REAL INTENTION


Despite the humiliation and problems experienced by Imelda Marcos. She still continued her life without her husband. Even though Marcos and Imelda are corrupt, still they made too many projects in their regime. When the people power started they are accused of planning the assassination of Ninoy Aquino. Imelda extremely experienced an extraordinary kind of humiliation and followed by the death of her husband
 Ferdinand Marcos that degraded her personality, 


if I’m in her situation I won’t go out in my house or maybe migrate to other countries, but still she continued to fight for her rights and she succeeded, look at her now she is the governor of Ilocos Norte continuing to govern Ilocos. They upgraded the quality of their products and tourist spots. They also had new projects like the wind mill for their electricity and it’s a lot cheaper than ours. She is also being friendly to the Aquinos and being sorry for all the problems brought by their family. So, what is she up to, is she going to be a hero or a villain, for me even if she’s going to be a villain she once had been a hero to me...
