Because of this he Instantly sent a decry to gather all the soldiers to fight against troy. But as soon as they arrived the army faced a problem, the city gates. The Greeks fought for ten years but did not succeed.

         Finally, after a decade one soldier had a bright idea. Because of this, everyone started cutting tree’s and nailing them together. By the time they were done they had a majestic horse. The plan was the trojans would think this was a surrender gift while in realty the majority of soldiers were hiding in the belly of the horse. The rest of the soldiers hid in caves while making it seem as if they had sailed away. They waited in suspense till the curious trojans would let the horse into the walls. That night after the trojans had partied long over what they thought was there victory the sneaky silent soldiers crept out of the massive horse and retrieved Helen. After wards they burned the city. A simple idea won a battle.

Fascinating Roman Aqueducts

         Hundreds of miles of aqueducts stretched throughout the Roman Empire.  The romans had erected them extremely skillfully. These complex structures brought usable water to numerous towns. Some snaked underground while others towered and swerved above ground. They sloped discreetly and like waterslides through the mountains. Colossal tanks and springs held the water. Romans had comfortable access to fresh water from sixty miles away. Because the essential structures were made of stone and cement, they were durable. Some are in such suitable condition that they are used to this day. Roman aqueducts are a fascinating achievement.

Improvements To Transportation In America

            Ford cars made transportation in the America popular. Henry Ford ,who was the inventor of Ford, had a system were each man worked on only one part of the car which made them fast and skilled at their job. This reduced the time for one car from fourteen hours to one and a half hours. Each car was exactly alike, so that it didn’t matter what car you got. Ford only sold his cars in black, and when his costumers complained and proclaimed“other companies sell cars in colors” he replied you can have any color as long as its black. Because Ford made cars available for the average family the ford car became popular. The ford model T was nicknamed “tin lizzie” “leaping Lena” “jitney” “flivver”. [2]In 1927 15 million cars were sold and by 1929 26 million were sold. The ford model t became a symbol of modernization.

            The Eerie Canal was a huge improvement in transportation in America. The Eerie Canal was built in 1825 and resulted in economic growth because it was such a huge investment it took seven years to build and stretched from New York to the Atlantic Ocean. It was 363 miles across and afterwards many more Canals built. The Appalachian Mountains were a problem and there were many people who rudely laughed and said it couldn’t be done. The canal also enabled goods to travel at one tenth of the cost. The Eerie Canal was a huge improvement in transportation in America and is still used to this day.

American flag

         Let me tell you a story. Well, you see, I always lied on a shelf my first three years. There I could calmly see all the going-ons of the little blue house o 11^th street. But one day everything changed. What was happening. The little girl who bought me picked me up brought me to a long boring speech. After the speech we saw a parade of all sorts of vehicles. Then I saw another flag and realize it was the 4^th of July. This would be a special day I would always remember.

         Time passed and the girl who I loved quickly grew bigger. One day she said I was old enough to live outside. At first, I was not thrilled at the thought of the rain and the dark. But she tolled me I would be fine I trusted the girl. As she brought me out she put me on a long pole. There contentedly for the rest of my days. I knew I was doing an important job.

Unusual Faith

            The savage land of Burma were no Christians had ever been I knew this was the place for me. My childhood prepared me for what was ahead my early years in ministry strengthen me in the faith and my last years were a good influence to the world.

            On December 22, 1789, I was born into a large and wealthy family in Bradford, Massachusetts. My family was made up of three girls and one boy including me.[2] As a young woman I was about five foot five inches and had olive skin and jet-black curls.  I had stunning blue eyes which were always filled with laughter. [2] About when I was fifteen, I traveled to visit my Aunt who was a strong believer, and I became a Christian. Soon after this my family which were not believers, quickly followed in giving their lives to Jesus. One night we hosted a gest for supper. It was a young man who I had heard lots about. His name was Andoniram Judson. To be honest, at first I was quite disappointed in the young man. He just sat there as white as could be, just fiddling with his food. Later he told me it was because he was so stunned by me. Adoniram and I got married a few months later on February 5, 1812. The next day my husband was ordained. Although we were making preparations to share God’s word overseas, we had not the slightest idea what God had in store for us. My childhood prepared me for what was ahead.

            [2]On February 18, thirteen days after our wedding, Andoniram and I set sail for India. [3]Quickly I became ill. On the ship gave birth to a son who was born dead. [1] About the time we arrived in India, we decided that we agreed more with the Baptist than the congregationalist who had been our sending sporters, so William Carey baptized us. [3]Sadly, the British East India Company would not allow any more missionaries to India. So, we traveled on to the savage land of Burma bravely .[2] When we arrived, I gave birth to a son who was a beautiful child. We played with him every evening when Andoniram was finished translating the Bible into to Burmias.[3] Sadly at 8 months old our son died. Eight years later we took in two burmes foster children. We named them Abbey and Marry after my two sisters. Soon after we moved to Ava, the king’s city. There I started a school for girls. Sometimes when I was ill, I taught from my bed. Things where going well until we heard news of war! Things were uncertain but we trusted God.

There was a war escalating  quickly between Burma and Britain. This meant trouble for Adoniram and me. Because of our pale skin we were suspected as spies even though we were American and not British.[3] Suddenly, one evening the “spotted faces” who were criminals who led the prison appeared at our door and took adoniram to the death prison. While Adoniram was in prison I gave birth to a little girl. Her name was maria. Every day I walked across the hot Burma ‘land walked eight miles with the baby to deliver food to Adoniram. One day I presented him with the precious translation of the Burmese bible in a pillow to protect it from the spotted faces. soon after adoniram was released to translate the king’s letter of surrender. Sadly not long after my husband’s release I died on October 22, 1826. My husband and I are still remembered to this day as the first American overseas missionaries. My bravery and trust in God at all times is one that is unusual and remarkable.

            Having faith at all times and not giving- up is a necessary skill. It teaches you to trusting god at all times no mater your circumstances.
