contemporary events and distant history that David's art would evoke more and more as the Revolution approached."(Rosenblum, Woldemar, 1984, p.25) Although, the painting is not specifically created to represent the French Revolution, its theme borrowed from antiquity and classical style are both already representing David's style that continued to be his trademark for upcoming revolution years. In 1989, David exhibited his Brutus and the Lictors in the Salon. This painting is the first to be painted while the actions of the revolution were already starting. The figures on the painting tell us a story about a man named Brutus who was the founding father of the Roman Republic and who sent his own sons to death because they had betrayed the country. As for the style of the painting, David was still using the Roman approach with classical style and mostly borrowed all aspects from antiquity.

Alligators can also be found there. Bison (buffalo) are popularly associated with the grasslands, although they once ranged over most of eastern North America before becoming nearly extinct because of hunting. Now they exist only in protected areas. In the western areas live elk, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and a small number of brown bears. The Kodiak bear, the largest carnivore in North America, is found in Alaska. 7 History The first people to live in North America came from Asia between 10,000 and 30,000 years ago. At that time, North America and Asia were connected by a land bridge. Eventually North America became populated by many different tribes of people.

The next one to arrive in America was Christopher Columbus in 1492

The bottom step on the ladder is loose and I know that one night I am going to fall thanks to that. It has carvings, but they are all scribbles made by previous sleepers.

I visited Lausanne in August 2012 and while it was raining in Estonia, it was scorching hot in Lausanne, about 30 degrees Celsius. Lausanne is located in the mountainous area of Switzerland and the whole city rests on hills. Walking in Lausanne in that heat was hard, hence the losing my breath part.

Due to the facts that Iraq is closely related to terrorism and many Estonian soldiers took part in the Iraq war I think it is important to know how did those countries became enemies. In this report I'm going to write about relations between Iraq and the USA. First of all I am going to write about the common history between those countries. Because they do not share long history, I'm going to characterize every decade from 1980. Many people think that the U.S and Iraq have been enemies forever, but it is not so. The United States has supported Iraq in war and I am

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY A century ago communication across any distance was dependent upon the telegraph or letters. No jets crossed the ocean, no television pictures enabled us instantly to see events in any part of the world, there were no worldwide telephone networks and no computers. It is just a short lifetime since humanity first travelled into space and discovered how fragile our planet looks. FROM FIREWORKS TO THE MOON At first glance you might think that there couldn't possibly be anything common between a 13 th century festival in China and the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. However, there is a link and that is that they both relied on the use of rockets. The Chinese first developed rockets by filling bamboo tubes with an explosive made from saltpetre, charcoal, and sulphur. The sealed tubes would be thrown onto fires during celebrations because it was thought that the loud explosions would protect them
