You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine Just own the night like the 4th of July 'Cause, baby, you're a firework Come on, show 'em

The interest rate a bank charges its borrowers depends on both the number of people who want to borrow and the

AS History How far do you agree that the most important cause of the revolution in February 1917 was the Great War? The February revolution which occurred in 1917 was the result of several causes, one of which being World War 1; in my opinion, it was the most important trigger.

The Labour government of 1974-1979 did not win the election with a majority but managed to reduce inflation in 1978 from 15% to 8% which was a very large success as inflation had been a problem for a long time. Just from looking at the two governments you assume that the 1964-1970 labour

It is quite amazing how much birth order affects our personalities. As I read this book, it opened my eyes to see why my family members have the personalities that they do. Maybe you can find yourself in these lists. Everyone may not match perfectly to every characteristic. Kevin says a person is probably a first born if he is “perfectionistic, reliable, conscientious, [a] list maker, organized, critical, serious, [and] scholarly.” The second born will likely avoid conflict, be a mediator, be

How far do you agree that Henry VII was never seriously threatened by rebellions? Henry VII ascended to the throne in 1485 with a weak claim due to dynastic issues following on from his mother, Lady Margaret Beaufort. Despite discontent and rebellion within Henry VII’s reign, it is debatable whether the monarch was actually threatened by rebellions due to the simple reason that Henry VII was able to remain on the throne and secure a succession until his death, however the challenge to his authority
made many errors, both general and individual. An example of a general error is the underestimation of Stalin. This was beneficial as it allowed Stalin to make moves without anyone suspecting him of doing anything particularly damaging to their success. Another example is the failure to publish Lenin's testament. This was a mistake as the opinions Lenin voiced about Stalin's inabilities were the last real opportunity to stop Stalin. There were also individual errors that all the contenders made
How Far Do You Agree With The View That Lady Bracknell Does Create Comedy in ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’? When deciding if a character creates comedy or not it is important to weigh up the pros and cons of their main attributes.

brusque ending of "The Miller's tale" is appropriate to the nature of The Miller himself, we know him to be a drunk, rude man who, "abide no man for his curtsies," and this ending seems to reflect that behaviour. However on the other hand, as the reader, do we feel "The Miller's Tale," is missing an imperative moral? In "The Miller's Prologue," Chaucer intervenes in his own voice to remind the audience the Miller is a "cherle," and if they want "gentilllesse," "moraralitee" and "holinesses," they should
years included the installment of the 26th amendment, Anti War protests and women’s liberation; the Watergate scandal, NASA stopped sending man to the moon and the death of Elvis Presley. America had its 200th birthday, there was a gas crisis, and you could now play a game call “Pong” right in your very living room.

I still remember how at nine out of ten birthday parties I went to when I was a kid, there would always be a magician picking cards, or making white doves disappear. Sometimes they had the rainbow scarves that were supposedly impossible to fit inside their tight sleeves. As the show unfolded, our eyes would turn from an ordinary size to cup saucers. When we were little, that was magic; now, it’s a person who rips off people by learning tricks from You-tube and adding extra pockets to their sleeves
their success. Socially, his policies such as controlling workers worked in the short run as Dopolavoro numbers were high, however in the long run they were a failure, due to the lack of loyalty workers showed to Mussolini during his fall from power after world war one.

Nevertheless his social policy of propaganda through the media enabled him to depict these failures as success to
How far do you agree with the view that the women in Tennyson’s poems are presented as victims in a male world? In “The Lady of Shallot” Tennyson portrays the lady as somewhat of a victim by being trapped in her room weaving as if she leaves she will break an elusive curse she is under.

It is important to remember that the diversity of American society is reflected in the impact

action. The quickest way to get an employee to do something is to ask, but if the person declines, the next solution is to give them a kick in the pants (KITA).

But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night we didn't talk to each other.
