This was final resting grounds for the souls of the heroic and the virtuous as said in Greek mythology (Wikipedia/Elysium). However this was only a section of the Underworld. The name is derived from being "blessed" by Zeus, the main God in Greek religion. (About.com)

By: Brendon Argenziano ** Napoleonic code is a law that was one of the first to be created like we have today. The code was a form of law that everyone had to follow. Many people say it was the first document to influence the whole world. The reason it is called napoleonic code is because it was put into affect and created by Napoleon. The code made a lot of things easy for people to not worry about. One thing it did was made judges have to give someone who did something wrong justice. The people that followed the code were very strict with it and they did not break the rules because you will get a lot of punishment. The code made it easy for people to know what was a law and what was not. It made people understand what was happening with the code and what people needed to do. The code was a big addition to the laws that were followed before and people did not know how to follow them making the laws almost useless in a way.

**The Varsouviana Polka**

 * By:** Brendon Argenziano



The varsouvia polka is a song. It is in the background in a book called a streetcar named desire. the backgroung music plays a big roll to the scene of the movie. The book makes a great addition to the music in the scene. The music was from the play and people say its the most important part of the play and movie. Created in 1947 the composer wanted to make the right style of music just for that part and without the music it would be just another play or movie. It almost creates a illusion to people who watch it get sucked in and really take the full affect to the highest level. Once you hear the music you cant take your eye off the stage. It was intended to make a scene seem classic and new aged makeing it the first of its kined.

 * By:** Brendon Argenziano



Tragedy in a type of plot many movies and plays use as a great addition. This plot makes people wonder what a great person did to fall so low. It is a downfall of a greater being that everyone wants to see be successful and watch the turn of events do to make him be so low. Tragedy is a thing that many people do not want to see or experience in their life but other like to watch bad things happen to good people in this world. It has been said that Tragedy is a different Panamanian happening is a close period of time. Used as a way to show things happening in the real would and put them in a play for people to think for themselves. A lot of people feared tragedy in the early days thinking that it could happen to them if they do not do things right and be a good person in society. First coming from the greeks who use to wright about and since then made everyone scared. Starting as a curse from the start and ending up in plays and movies tragedy will always be here and ready for people to watch.
