Portrait of Queen Elizabeth 1 A1: Queen Elizabeth 1 stands proud on the globe like she has conquered the world. On the background there is sunshine on her right hand, but darkness and lightning on her left. Each side has what appears to be descriptive words for each side, however, I am unable to make out or understand the meaning. I see this as an indication that there are two sides to her personality, a bright side and a dark side. Her dress is fully adorned with what appears to be pearl,…
Winter’s Tale, we wonder who is the stronger woman—stronger in the sense of “having strength of character or will”, and not physical strength (Webster’s New World Dictionary, 1329). The two main woman characters in The Winter’s Tale were Hermione, (the Queen) and Paulina (the wife of a Lord). In The Winter’s Tale, King Leontes…

expands greatly on the original story which many new elements and even removes some parts. Like the addition of an evil queen with super powers. How she not only wants to be the most beautiful and powerful person, but can take life from other people to maintain her beauty and power. The opening of “Snow White and the Huntsman” is done just as the story in the Grimm brothers’ book. The queen pricks her finger (on a rose instead of a needle) and three drops of blood fell. Just like in the story,…
Being involved in the community will change ones life. It was my senior year in high school until I realized what happens when one gets involved in their community. Being involved in the Miracle League not only helped the kids, it helped me as a person. I still remember the first time I went to the Miracle League. It was a tradition of my baseball team to go to the Miracle League once a year. I was nervous, and did not know what to expect. It was a steaming hot…
Street interactions in Koreatown vary depending on the time of day. On weekday mornings and afternoons, crowds are demographically older. Most people are Korean and walk alone, not engaging with each other. The block feel like a passageway, so in addition to Koreatown residents and visitors, some pedestrians walk through Koreatown to get somewhere else. These people usually walk quicker and look around less than those here for food and shopping. In the evenings and on weekends, the crowds are…
Sometimes it’s difficult for me to remember every place has a history regardless if residents care for it or not. However, it’s the most difficult when I think about the borough I live in, The Bronx. During my senior year of high school, I received an invitation from The Bronx County Historical Society to join an event. The society invited valedictorians from every Bronx High School to attend this awards reception. This event took place outside next to the Museum of Bronx History where the hosts…
O Mine by Guns N Roses. After further analyses of this piece of music, I realized it would not have enough contrast for me to write multiple pages. After much thought and consideration, the new piece I chose to write about is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody has plenty of dramatic contrasts, frequent shifts in tempo, and changes in rhythmic character from section to section. The piece was written by Freddie Mercury in 1975 for the bands album: A Night at the Opera. I believe…
The Snow Queen Recently, I had the chance to see The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson at Park Square Theater. The play presented itself different from the time the viewer walked in. When walking in, viewers were greeted with a friendly staff, whose goal was to make each persons view easier and more enjoyable. At first glance, the stage looked different from what most would come to expect. The theater itself appeared clean and prepared for an audience expecting something similar to…
noble woman and man. As Laila paced to get to the queens room she over hear, “Heard there is roast duck, and they are going to sever warm bread with butter.” Than “Butter! Blah. I like jam, strawberry or apricot is my favorite!” Laila rounded the corner to see all the ladies-in-wait outside. Looking to one of the lady's-in-wait, who was also the oldest. “What is happening?” asked Laila. “Oh!…
