Female monarchs back in the 16th century being the sole ruler of a country was an unheard occurrence that rarely ever happened. But two queens in this time defide those who would rather see them in the background of history. Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth Tudor I were the rare queens that did just that, their long family line, personal and intertwined history had after effects in history in Scotland’s and England’s future monarchs. Prior to the reign of Henry VIII, Elizabeth and Mary, one…

I think that the author R.J. Palacio chose the song Beautiful Things for the Miranda section because Miranda alway say that Auggie is beautiful and is like a brother to her. I think that because on page 165 it says “ I've known Auggie since I was six years old. I've watched him grow up. I've played with him. I've watched all six episodes of Star Wars for his sake, so I could talk to him about the aliens and bounty hunters and all that. I'm the one that gave him the astronaut helmet he wouldn't…

For centuries a question has been swirling around in many people’s heads, what happened to the princes in the tower? Many theories have been created over the years with suspects ranging from natural death of the sickly prince Edward to murder by a member of their own court. The most widely believed theory is that their own uncle Richard the Duke of Gloucester, later to become Richard the III, had them murdered on his orders to ensure his position as king of England. Many people believe this…

In Good Night, and Good Luck the newsman Edward R. Murrow and his news team must decide whether to pursue investigating claims by Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin or to focus on less controversial news. Eventually they choose to go after Senator Joseph McCarthy and his senate committees which investigated Americans of being suspected communists. The committee oftentimes would ignore due process and guidelines set by the U.S Constitution. This led Edward R. Murrow and his team to go after…

The revolt of the Northern Earls was caused by the gentry: Northumberland and Cumberland against William Cecil. In the same way, Pilgrimage of Grace had a subsidiary cause of faction. Henry’s divorce with Catherine of Aragon and disinheritance of Mary alarmed the Aragonist faction. This implied that they would lose power in court without Catherin or Mary on crown. Northumberland and Cumberland demanded the return of political power in the north and wealth as this would ensure a restoration of…

In the 1950s, with World War II being fought and communistic countries emerging, Americans feared that their government would be taken over by communists. This fear goes down in history as the Red Scare. Americans wanted to know that they would be protected from a communist takeover. One man saw this weakness in the American population as a way to gain personal power. This man 's power trip is now referred to as the McCarthy Era, an era full of witch hunts and lies. Joseph McCarthy allowed…

Modernist Poets Discuss the Impermanence of Glory In the period following World War I, citizens of all nationalities faced a dark disillusionment forcing them to grapple with personal identity and the purpose of life. People looked to artists of the age as builders of morale and shapers of societal perspective, yet the writers of that time had little more sense of direction than anyone else in the midst of ideological desolation. The only thing to be certain of was uncertainty. Two Modernist…

regarding foreign policy is the loss of Boulogne. Some historians have argued that Northumberland made the best of a bad situation. However the Treaty of Boulogne resulted in England giving up control for 400,000 crowns, an arranged marriage between Edward VI and Henry II’s daughter Elizabeth, the loss of England’s pension from France and the removal of English troops from Scotland. Each of these were considered humiliating by Northumberland but the loss of Boulogne was the most significant. The…

1. The films I watched were Stand and Deliver directed by Ramon Menendez and Walkout directed by Edward James Olmos. Both of these films are similar with one another in some aspects. To begin with, they both take place in Los Angeles and depict Chicano students’ struggles in education. First, they both portray student experiences with the language barrier at schools. To further explain, students first learn Spanish at home, as their first language. Later, when they attend school, these children…

Strategic drifts are related to the responses of an organisation, which are encountering changes due to the dynamic external environment. Unexpected challenges may arise at any point of time during the development of strategic changes within the organisations. Strategic drifts are those incidents for which the organisations fail to identify the expected strategic outcomes (Analoui & Karami, 2009). Strategic drifts force the management to lose its focus from actual strategic plans and…
