How tragedies relate

Tragedy
1. How ambition is the root of evil, just as a serpent hiding in the sweetest flowers. 
ambition isn't necessarily the root of problems, its the desire and choices made after that cause the problems. People with ambition can do good and bad, but the choices will depict which one they are such as Macbeth made the choices to kill which led to his down fall.

2. How could Macbeth be compared to other dictators throughout history?
A major connection between Macbeth and other high level dictators is that they used corruption and murder to reach the top. every time someone stood in there way they would have them removed or somehow arrested in ways to gain the power. once they reached the top they would eliminate all those who threatened their position.

3. Why is dictatorship often rebelled upon so quickly?
the reason many dictator's are taken down so quickly is they usually rise to power so quickly that people will come together and over power this small group. If you review multiple cases in history, you can see multiple nations gathering together to eliminate a rising power to stop it from becoming a global power. The world needs equilibrium, no country can get to strong before others notice and begin to unite to bring them back down.

The Tragedy of Harambre

tragedy
Why was Harambre such a loss? To us he was a hero among the gorillas.
Why did they kill Harambre? They killed him because a child fell into his enclosure and he grabbed him and began to drag him around the enclosure. They say he was trying to harm the child but I think he was scared of everything happening and wasn't trying to help the kid.
Was it harambre fault the kid fell in? No, it wasn't his fault the kid fell in himself because the child's mother wasn't pay attention. We need to fight back against the system because their going to shoot us down like they shot Harambre down, it us against the government.
We have to live in honor of Harambre because he died for us, but he united as a whole to live in honor of him.

Turbo because racecar.

What is a turbo?
How does a turbo work?
What benefit does a turbo give?
A turbo is a mechanical upgrade made to engines by adding a cast iron almost like fan. turbos are made to increase power as well as give many other advances to the car such as better gas mileage and cooler engine.
A turbo works by exhaust fumes pushing through the turbo to activate the fan and compress the air inside each cylinder creating more air and burning fuel faster thus giving higher horsepower. their are many forms of turbos such as air to water intercooled, air cooled and some are even installed directly on the back of the car on the exhaust but this creates boost lag. boost lag is where it takes the compressed air longer to reach the cylinder's. boost is also calculated in pounds, for every pound of boost is an extra 10 horsepower. some people are known for putting extreme amounts of boost into built engines but this is extremely hard on the internals.
The benefits of a turbo can be seen in a array of things but also depends the type of turbo and the use of it such as how its tuned. running low boost can keep your engine running cooler as well as increasing gas mileage. as for running high amounts of boost increase horsepower for such things as racing. many high league racing teams run boosted cars as well as some manufactured cars come equipped with turbo. In reality turbos are not a necessity but a want in life, more important to car enthusiast in the end.

The Art of Drifting

What is drifting?
How can modifying your suspension benefit the performance?
How can modifying the engine benefit the performance?

Drifting is a sport found around the world, gaining most of its popularity around Asia its began to spread across the world through D1 competition. Drifting is an art of being able to skillfully handle your car traditionally rear wheel drive cars where you break traction in your rear wheels and slide the car around multiple tight corners. This requires years of practice to master this skill, often building your cars for years and perfectly tuning and modifying the car to match your ideal control. Drifting is a sport globalized around the world taking many forms, using many different forms of vehicles.

Many car enthusiast debate back and fourth the most important factors of improving suspension on a drift car. their is many different aspects that can be modified to benefit the car but overall the two key factors are coilovers and sway bars. First off coilovers help lower the car and damper the adjustability and flexibility the car has. Coilovers also help stiffen the shocks and control the overall balance of the car keeping it flat and in full control around corners. Sway bars are often looked down upon but they keep the car stiffened in the front and control in the front allowing for more angle in your drift. Using a good adjustable sway bar keeps you from loosing angle and breaking other suspension parts in your car.

Another important aspect to drifting is having the right performance from your engine. You need to have enough torque and power to be able to get your tires to break traction and maintain a drift with speed. Their is many aspects to building an engine, countless upgrades and various ways to get this power. But one thing many cars flaw is a proper tune, you need to tune your engine to preform correctly and vitalize all the parts together. You cant just know all the parts you must know how they all work together to build a proper drift car.

Beowulf post

Is their other adaptions of Beowulf in other cultures relating back to the original story?
 Throughout the years Beowulf has been the foreground for many stories creating a path and understanding for all. some of the most recognized films are based on this epic, such as J.R.R Tolkien the author of the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings". Tolkien based much of his ideas on the understanding of these ideas not such as the story but of the elements of the book. He recognized the aspects that many ignored and presumed to be just amusing pieces but as art to bring a better understanding to this story. Joesph Campbell a professor at Sarah Lawrence college he describes Beowulf as a classical heroic figure or one of "the thousand faces" a reference to "The Hero with the Thousand Faces".
 We should also view the elements of this epic in different perspectives to unravel the true understanding of this poem. Such as Grendel we must understand what true reason he had a pursue a deeper understanding of the struggle and myth behind the whole scenario.
