In 1974, Chinese peasants stumbled upon what many consider the eighth wonder of the world outside the city of Xi'an, China: the Terra Cotta Warriors. The archeological find consists of an entire army of ceramic warriors and horses that are estimated to be more than 2,000 years old. The collection of elaborate figures was found near the tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of China. The Museum of the Terra Cotta Army was constructed around the discovery site and opened in 1979. Over the years, the Terra Cotta Museum has participated in overseas cultural exchanges, allowing people in other parts of the world to view samples from the amazing discovery. The earliest exchanges included Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Turkey, Switzerland, Finland, Romania, and Japan. It has been presented in the United States several times. The 2009 exhibition at The Houston Museum of Natural Science in Texas was entitled Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China's First Emperor. On display were over 100 artifacts, including nine of the 8,000 Terra Cotta Warriors. In addition to the warriors, exhibition visitors were able to see a terra cotta horse and two 10-foot-long bronze chariots drawn by bronze horses. TIME Magazine named the exhibition one of its top five "must see" exhibitions of the year. Museum officials believed that such an exhibition should increase visitors' understanding of Chinese culture. In addition to the statuary, there was a demonstration of kung fu, an ancient Chinese martial art that people still engage in today. There was also a discussion of how the Terra Cotta Army was constructed and how long its creation took. Finally, there was a lecture by Albert E. Dien, Ph.

explanation:

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.
