    On March 17th of 2016 I got to go see Loreena McKennitt performed at the Three Stages in Folsom, which turned out to be an incredible experience that I was not expecting. Growing up, my siblings and I would listen to Loreena McKennitt during the evening when we were going to bed, which helped to make the performance nostalgic. Loreena McKennitt is a Canadian celtic musician and all of her music has either a Middle Eastern story or a significant message to them. She is a lady of many talents which includes composing, singing, and playing the harp, accordion, and piano. Mckennitt is often compared to Enya who is an Irish singer songwriter, however McKennitt’s music is much more traditional.…

    The story of The Queen’s Fool by Philippa Gregory vividly brought to life the ideas, characters, and fears of the 1550s that resulted from the fierce rivalry between King Henry III’s daughters, Elizabeth and Mary Tudor. It followed both women through the eyes of the psychic “holy fool”, Hannah “Green”, as they battled over the English throne. The aging, unappealing Mary Tudor was nearly the exact reverse of her youthful and lively younger sister. While Mary sought to stomp out all Protestants and return England to Catholicism, Elizabeth only wanted to end the mass murder her sister brought upon their country. The characters and environment that Gregory illustrated was strikingly parallel to that of 16th century London; especially when it came…

    She assumes that men are either too ignorant to realize that she constantly lies to and fools them, or that they are just too weak to overcome her sexual plots. Her first four husbands, for the most part, fell into at least one of these two categories, and in doing so, they proved the wife correct. The foolishness of those men caused Alisoun to lose respect for men in general, and to believe that all men were this easily thwarted.

    As a high school student, we are told William Shakespeare is the true author of his so-called “work,” but I say he is not. I believe Mary Sidney is the true author of the works attributed to Shakespeare; I say this because she was “the first major female literary figure in England” (Anne Underwood), the second most intelligent women in her time, and her personal symbol were swans.

Mary Sidney, the wife of Henry Herbert, is the true author of the works attributed to Shakespeare. Mary Sidney’s is the Sweet Swan of Avon because it was her personal symbol.…

It would not be “normal” for a woman to do the same for a man, because roses or flowers in general are objects of women that celebrate their tenderness and innocence. The beautiful, untouched, innocent rose is depicted differently in Elizabeth Gaskel’s book North and South. The Rose is often referenced to in the novel in parallel with Margaret Hale.…
