Essay Reflection: Part 2

I believe that the shape which defines the progress of history up to this point is circle. I believe history is a circle because it is perpetual when it comes to mistakes. Since a circle keeps flowing 360 degrees perpetually, I think it symbolizes how people over the course of history keep repeating the disasters that befell other civilizations; they are not learning. However, in this circle, there are certain points when leaders show determination to fix mistakes and improve their empire/kingdom/country. Even if rulers somehow are able to improve the status of their controlled areas, there will be a time when some bozo (bad) ruler will reign and neglect the important issues, thus leading their territory to decline and eventually collapsing. In conclusion, all these events with the bozo and good rulers all fall within that circle of history and will always repeat itself unendingly.
