I jog every night. I like the cool air that a sunless sky brings, and I like how there aren’t many people around. I don’t really gel well with the neighbourhood. A lot of nuclear families and sheltered suburban homes. The neighbours gossip and chat across picket fences, have barbecues with each other’s families, and can probably remember the names of each and every person on their street. I live on my own and barely talk to anyone, so I stick out like a sore thumb. I hear people whisper about me behind the fences as I pass by. That I’m

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. HUNTED
It was a cold night of winter when my parents went to a meeting in New York and left
me alone at home. After doing all the house work and tidy up my room, I went upstairs
to watch a film in my living room. Maybe watching a horror film when I’m alone at home
was not the best idea so I chose a comedy. Next to my couch there is a huge window
from where I can see the snowy mountains that hide behind the city and part of my
neighborhood. However, when that night I looked through it I saw something strange in
the house in front of mine.
I knew my neighbors were not at home since they told me that they would be away on
a holiday but I saw how a silhouette moved inside their home. I kept watching the
entertaining movie when I saw how something fell from the ceiling to the floor in the
house of the street in front of mine. First, I thought it was the wind but the leaves of
green and huge trees were not moving so that is the moment I knew something wrong
was happening.
My parents were friends of the family so they gave us some extra keys for caution, I
took them with me and I went to the mysterious house. After knocking in the door and
calling their phone for awhile I decided to enter and investigate what I saw from my
home. I opened the door and I started to go upstairs to the third floor where the weird
events had happened. Suddenly, a loud and strident noise came from one of the
rooms, I was paralyzed and my legs were not responding but, after a few minutes in
silence I kept going up.
Finally, I reached the room that had the window where I had seen the shadow, I
opened the lights as it was eleven o’clock in the night and I could not see where I was
going. As I entered the room I saw a figure of a lost and disoriented cat running away
from me through the window that my neighbors left open before they went on a holiday.
Fortunately, the cat left and I could close the window before other creatures entered
the house.
After checking there was not another animal inside I decided to leave. As it was late at
night I could not heard any sound or see any light just the streetlights that illuminate the
2. narrow streets. But, something changed; I started to hear the noise of an alarm and to
see some weird blue lights that lighted up all the first floor. When I opened the door to
leave the house, two cops were waiting for me outside. Some neighbors called the
police as they thought I was a thief that entered that house without permission, I tried to
explain myself but they took me to a police station where they called my parents.
