Cymbeline: The End

Cymbeline is talking with Lucius, and tells him that the army will be killed, as well as himself. Lucius asks that Fidele's life be spared. Cymbeline grants this, as well as anything  Fidele might ask. Fidele asks to ask Iachimo where he got his ring. Iachimo confesses that it came from Posthumus, and tells how he won it. Posthumus came forward, and in his grief called Imogen's name. She ran forward, but not recognizing her, he throws her to the floor. Pisonio tells that it is Imogen. The queen has just died, confessing her hatred of Imogen and Cymbeline, and a plot that she would use a mineral that would waste away the king. She had asked the doctor to give her poison, saying it was for rats, but he had suspected that she was trying to fool him. Then the king's eldest son, Guiderius,(as Polydor) says that he has killed Cloten. Cymbeline says that Polydor must die. Then Belarus tells how he stole the young princes from their beds. He shows which is which: Cadwal is really Arviragus,and Polydor Guiderius. He also had proofs of their being princes. Posthumus forgave Iachimo, and Cymbeline forgave all, even telling Lucius that Briton will pay the tribute. The soothsayer interprets the dream, which fortold all that happened.

Fabius

Fabius was given a triumph, because of his great victory. The governor of the town at the time it was taken by Hannibal, Marcus Livius. Livius was grumpy, and once openly said in the senate that Fabius had not taken the town without his help. To which Fabius jokingly replied;  You say very true, for if Marcus Livius had not lost Tartum, Fabius Maximus had not recovered it. The people rewarded Fabius greatly, among other things making his son consul. Once, when the consul was on foot with his guard, Fabius approached on horseback. Seeing this, his son sent a man to tell him that if he had any business with the consul he should come on foot. Bystanders were astonished that the son should so treat his father! But Fabius came running from his horse, and said to his son" Yes my son, you know over whom you have power, and when to use it. This is the way we and our forefathers advanced Rome, by loving Rome and her honor and service to our fathers and children."

I think Fabius was so pleased with his son's response because it meant that the lessons were learned, that his son knew how to use his power, and to use it rightly. This was a good thing, for both Rome and Fabius. A good consul was very necessary for the safety and well-being of Rome.

Science

I have 5 Q. and A. for Science. Here they are:

1. Define linear momentum:  Momentum in a straight line. 
2. Define angular momentum: The momentum of spinning objects
3. Write the equation for linear momentum and define the terms: p = m x v. P- momentum, M- mass, V-velocity.
4. Define the law of conservation of momentum: The linear momentum of any object stays the same unless an outside force interferes.
5. What three things do you need to measure angular momentum?: Mass, radius, and velocity.
