Araluen is part of the Book series “Ranger's Apprentice” by John Flannagan. It is about a country called Araluen, and a key part of that country the Rangers. England on the other hand has many sources but the one I’m using comes from BBC, it is wriiten by Prof. Tom James.The BBC source is about England during it’s middle ages. I am comparing and contrasting England and Araluen. England and Araluen, being similar, have fought similar conflicts. England and Araluen have different settings.

When the Vikings attack England they come in small raiding parties, this is because a large raiding force would be hard to move across the oceans to get to England. Skandians also land in small raiding parties, attacking out city at a time. One exception to this occurred in book 2, The Burning Bridge. During this installment in the series the Skandians assembled a large army of troops to attack Araluen. The Skandians were being bankrolled by an evil warlord named Morgarath. Although, they have not assembled that many large armies to sail over the oceans. One more thing Araluen did is that they made a treaty with the Skandians. England never employed such a diplomatic

    The contrast in the land of the English colonies, with stark contrast between the North and the South created considerable economic disparity between the two regions. Dreams of undiscovered financial hotbeds drove the early colonization attempts, as is the case with Virginia, the first English colony in America. The investors behind the Virginia colony, the London Company, looked for a profitable market, which they soon found in tobacco (Brinkley 37). Maryland, another Chesapeake colony, was also supported by the cash crop of tobacco. Tobacco actually made up more than 72% of the exports in the Upper South from 1768 to 1782, and the next closest exports were grains, making up almost 20% of the exports (packet 25).…

    In the 17th and early 18th centuries, America was struggling to unite. Many attempts of a union were made, but each for different reasons. In the beginning, colonists created governments that ran by the rules of God, not the people. Most settlers in America were religious, especially the ones who settled in the northern colonies, so they had theocratic governments. Also, these governments were much more simpler and basic.…

    Throughout the 1600’s and some of the 1700’s, England practiced a policy of salutary neglect toward its colonies in the new world. The colonist generally had an amiable relationship with the Mother country; they enjoyed the benefits of the connection because it offered a trading partner and protection. The French and Indian War 1753-1763, was called the 7 years war in Europe. It started because of the competition between the French and British for land in the Ohio Valley. Technically the land was the Native Americans; they fought the attempts of settling from both sides.…

    The English colonies were made up of families that desired freedom of religion and people who were meant to increase profit for England; while the French and Spanish colonies were predominantly made up of males who were in search of God, glory, and gold. It all started with Christopher Columbus coming over to the Americas (though he thought he was in India), in 1492. During this time period many explorers were in search for the quickest route to Asia/ India; Columbus’ solution was to go west, since at this time they were not aware of the land that laid there. This then lead to enslavement and population decrease of the Natives (called Indians by our intellect Columbus), since Columbus and his crew saw themselves as superior to the Natives. They forced religion upon the Natives and used different…

    Numerous wars throughout this country’s history have been fought for similar reasons yet each war is very unique. The Revolutionary War that spanned from 1775 to 1783 and the War of 1812 are just two prime examples of this. Both wars were fought with Britain as the opponent, yet they each come with separate reasons for initiation. The Revolutionary War was brought upon this country by years of both physical and political British harassment to the colonists. The people lived under British rule for generations with little enforcement, but suddenly that was all changed.…

    The Sniper and Cranes have differences that give two opposite ideas of the story. The main focus of The Sniper targets the civil war and the repercussions that follow it, whereas Cranes focuses on the loyalty one has to family and friends. The Sniper expresses the toll the war has taken on the soldier and how it affects him by giving detail about the feelings and thoughts he has about the war. The author wants the reader to know that the sniper is dedicated to his duty and does not think twice about the decisions he has to make. In Cranes, the opposite occurs; Songsam goes out of his duty and gives Tokchae the chance to escape instead of taking him to be killed, as he volunteered to do in the first place.…

    The Viking Age occurred from late 8th century to mid-11th century. Within this time frame Viking populations across the globe experienced a number of significant changes that signalled the transformation of the Viking age. It should be made clear that this essay will argue for the transformation of the Viking age, as opposed to the end. The main factors behind this transformation are primarily religious in nature, a claim supported by Angus A. Somerville and R. Andrew McDonald, who cite, ‘the conversion of Scandinavians to Christianity and the development of unitary Christian kingships in Scandinavia,’ as two of the most decisive factors in leading to the transformation. Another factor that will be taken into account within this essay, is…
