Ephesus

Greek mythology provided the development of many branches such as philosophy. Learning mythology is my hobby. There are several important cities in Greek mythology. Ephesus is one of them.
Ephesus is an ancient Greek city located in Izmir. It was founded in 6000 BC. Many civilizations have lived here. It became the capital city by the Roman emperor Augustus in the 1st and 2nd centuries BC. The population at that time was over 200,000 people. And people made many structures from marble at that time. Ephesus was one of the most important port and trade cities of that period. People also gave importance to art and culture like Miletus. I think that's why epics like the Iliad remained from the people who lived there.
The city was occupied by the Turks in 1330.The city is still in Turkey and we can visit it.

"Blindness Essay"

Yesterday I finished a book called "Blindness". The book is so impressive that I still think about it. The author is incredibly critical of the system. The book begins with a man suddenly shouting "I've gone blind" in traffic. The man has been blind, but this blindness is different from the others.The man begins to see white everywhere. The author writes in the book, "It's like falling into a pool of milk."  This blindness spreads to everyone.The government finds the solution to this disease, which infects many people, by sending people to a mental hospital building.There is one person among these people, and the whole story is based on her. She is the only one who sees among the blind.  The author did not write the name of any character in his book. He introduced the characters with certain features. And this non-blind woman is also called the "doctor's wife" A lot of amazing things happen in the book. I would love to write them all.

...will be...

I've been planning to do a big book shopping for the last month. Of course, I know which books to buy in my mind, but this event is still very complicated. I have a small budget, but I have a lot of books to buy.The books I will buy are very diverse.I will buy philosophy books in general and I want novels as well. My budget is only enough for 15 books. I'd better show my philosophy teacher the philosophy books I'm going to buy. I hope she will help me make the right choices. I'll be ordering those books this time on Monday. My current guitar is very old. I've been improving my guitar playing lately and it's time for me to get a more professional guitar. But there is something noticeable; my budget is not enough for this. How about if I ask my father for help? Will he help me? I believe he will. They are going to buy a new house according to the current news in the house. It doesn't make sense. It's winter and moving house will be a torture. I cannot pers

...  5-) One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel García Márquez   This book is the first latin literature book I have read.There are so many names in it. I was very confused while reading it. But the family tree at the beginning of the book was very helpful.The author mixed fantasy with reality. I thought of fantasies as real while reading the book. As if there was nothing wrong. It was the end of the book that impressed me the most.The grandchild born centuries later revealed all the secrets and the life of the whole village changed. 6-) Kusamakura - Natsume Sōseki In the book, the author wrote about the journey of an artist who is looking for himself to the mountains. The main character experienced philosophical events in the villages. As a result of these events, he thought a lot about himself and questioned everything.
