Out of all age groups, teenagers are most commonly labeled as going through phases.Its true, at the end of the day, I am just a young 18 year-old girl. I think that I know everything, but the truth is I have an entire life ahead of me. I am still learning the ways of life each and every day. That doesn't mean, however; that I don’t know what it is that I want for myself in this time and moment. Don’t tell me that I want tattoos and piercings just because my friends have them, only because it is…

Christina Rossetti is a British poet who wrote during the time of Mid-Victorian England. She is extremely religious, which influences some of her poetry. From a religious view point temptation and sin are two things that are hard to resist, although once committed both have consequences.

One literary device that is…

Tabitha Silva British Literature 3 October 17th 2015 Paper #1 “Goblin Market”, written by Christina Rossetti in 1859 and published in 1862, is a tale warning of the dangers of temptation.

In Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market the main character Lizzie is the moral compass of this passage and is not only a heroin but a symbol of the strength and courage of sensible women. Some readers may view Lizzie as a prude or tightly wound but she is wise enough to see temptation in her path and can rely on her sensibility and forethought to safely navigate her through perilous circumstances. She is a very logical woman and is not wavered by the promises of others. Lizzie is the definition of…

The Seventh Sleep In 1957, ancient times, an era with limited technology, “historical” days, a movie was created, “The Seventh Seal” by Ingram Bergman, is a example of how different our present mindset has changed from the dreadful era of the 50’s. I’ve always wanted to experience a classic film experience in a theatre instead of searching for them online, upon searching for one I came across the showing of “The Seventh Seal”, which frankly, I wish I hadn’t. I’m pretty sure we’ve all heard of…

The Girl King tells the fascinating, bizarrely true story of Kristina, Queen of Sweden. Born to a doting father and mad mother in 1626, thought to be a boy, Christina was dropped down the stairs as a baby, declared queen at the age of six, forced to kiss goodnight the embalmed corpse of her father for two years, raised and educated as a boy, and formally crowned at 18. And that's just the first five minutes worth of backstory - some incredible exposition that is understandably too good to…
