The past involves everything that has occurred since the beginning

    The Past Q- Think of a positive event from your childhood. What happened? In my childhood I was literally a child with a really bad attitude and nature. I didn’t care for anything and I was unaware what is happening around me. I never used to respect poor and needy people. Instead, I used to make fun of them. I used to waste my money and roaming around here and there for no reasons, I used to treat poor people like slaves and animals and I did not care what they think about me. I didn’t know anything

    The past is a great reminder to humans of what they have done. It can do many things to help us grow such as teach us our mistakes or important lessons. The past can also crawl under our skin and haunt us for many years. It all depends on what you decide to do with your past — do you decide to grow from it or let it be a constant reminder of your failures?

    An American novelist Wendell Berry once said that “the past is our definition.” But does the past truly hold enough strength to impact one’s life? Is it merely a faded thought?

The past is the memoir of one’s existence. It is the recollection of memories. The past is the keeper of our dreams, our struggles and our fears

    Do You Know About Past American History? “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”(Marcus Garvey). I think that this quote is a good example of people today. A lot of people need to learn about our past history if they haven’t yet already. You need to learn our past history because we need to learn of our past wars, how far our country has come since 1776, and for people to show our Veteran’s and soldiers more respect. These

    Virgil, too, disturbs the linearity of time, yet he does this only to establish a new hierarchy between the past, the present and the future.

Trust me, this fame of ours/ will offer us some haven.” The pictures which charges Aeneas with such self-confidence, assertiveness and valor had no spirit or life themselves to begin with. It is
