Achilles was known as the ruthless yet strongest warrior of the Acheaens. He brutally killed the innocent son of King Priam who was Hector.
Achilles finished. Then on noble Hector's corpse he carried out a monstrous act. He cut through the tendons behind both feet, from heel to ankle, threaded them with ox-hide thongs, and then tied these onto his chariot, leaving the head to drag behind. He dimmed up into his chariot, brought on the splendid armour, then lashed his horses. They sped off eagerly, dragging hector. A dust cloud rose above him, his dark hair spread out around him, and Hector's head, once so handsome, was covered by the dust, for Zeus had given him to his enemies to dishonour in his own native land. So all his head grew dirty (22.520.231-232). Hector, whose body was tortured by Achilles has left with no chance to take revenge for himself. These lines proved that, Achilles has no pity for Hector. He used his strength to lynch Hector and other people. Achilles did not show sympathy for Hector's family. He revealed that he does not have any fear of ending someone's life.
Truly, Achilles did not posses any good attitude in "the Iliad". His image as the strongest warrior with an iron heart marked in the story. If I will place Achilles in our existence, he will be punish for everything he did. Therefore, Achilles is the kind of warrior who has no fear of anyone and defends what he thinks is right.

They say that woman are weak and do not have an important role to this world. A woman proved that this is wrong and that is Jessica Soho. She is a famous broadcast journalist in GMA. She has been reporting in the network for 15 years. She has been hosting Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho and I Witness and other news programs. She received George Foster Peabody Award and was the first Filipino to win the British Fleet Journalism Award in 1998. She won in the New York Film Festival for Coverage of a Breaking Story for her account of a hostage crisis in Cagayan Valley. She was recognized for all of her documentaries that awaken the minds and greatly affect of the people. With her different reports about the economy, people, places, events and others she was able to inform the people about important things.
"Provincial and regional journalists, in my view, are the real heroes in this profession. The dangers and risks you face and encounter are no doubt far greater than those that we face in Manila. But despite the hazards of the job, journalists must work hard and strive to make Philippine media strong, robust and credible." This was her statement in reference to the 55 journalists in the country that had been killed.She is charitable because she loves to help people in need. Her dedication to her work is impressive and admirable!
I am inspired with her credibility to serve her fellowmen. I hope that someday, I will be like Jessica Soho.
