philosopher and inventor. His travels also took him to many locations that Shakespeare’s plays were set in. Because Bacon was so high up in social order, he wanted to conceal his identity because being a playwright could easily end a career in politics. The first notion made about Bacon writing Shakespeare’s plays was made by Delia Bacon. She said that they also needed to stay anonymous because they were “a little clique of disappointed and defeated politicians who undertook to organize a…

team comparing with the other schools, we always had fun during tournaments and never failed to show good sportsmanship. Playing football and being part of my school team helped me develop my leadership skills as well as working as a group. In the first year or two I’d get upset that we wouldn’t win every game, but as I grew up I realized that having fun and playing the sport I loved was far more important than winning. Another hobby of mine is photography, and in 2013 I joined my school’s…

attended the King’s New School. (William Shakespeare Biography). At this school, they taught how to read and write. Shakespeare married at the age of 18 to Anne Hathaway. She was 26 when they married. Both Shakespeare and Hathaway had their first child, Susanna, in 1583. After a couple years, Anne Hathaway…

Muslim rule. The first Crusade’s start involved the Byzantine emperor Alexius and his conflict with emerging Turkish influence. The second Crusade sought to recover lands lost to the Turkish. The second Crusade was inspired by Bernard of Clairvaux, a reforming monk. The fourth Crusade was led by French barons. The outcomes of the Crusades were mainly losses for Christianity. In the first crusade, Pope Urban II’s responded to the eastern emperor, Alexius’ plea. After the first Crusade, the…

Instead, even from this short excerpt, it is all but clear that Armstrong intends to attack the West backing Israel in the Arab-Israeli conflict as a new manifestation of “the same spirit of aggressive righteousness as had inspired the first Western offensive against [Muslims]” (Armstrong, 374). In contrast, Madden sees the current political climate as an opportunity to “set the record straight on the Crusades” (Madden, 1), but only as that opportunity. He criticizes the popular assertion…

“That cannot be, since I am still possessed / Of those effects for which I did the murder: ‘My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen,” (Act 3, Scene 3, lines 54- 56). Claudius’ greed for the crown and the Queen, drives him to kill King Hamlet in the first place, which starts a domino effect of immoral acts. This demonstrates that greed is one of the seven deadly sins and is an immoral act, and they lead to all the deaths in the…

this glowing light after the first scene, his acts of “…hideous rashness” (I, i: 150) illustrate the very moment when his flaws are most apparent. Politically and practically, his action of splitting a kingdom in two is foolish, Kent contends that Lear “…dost evil” (I, i: 166), an accusation which proves to be prophetic. Lear is unable to comprehend the consequences of his “…poor judgement [and] unconstant starts” (I, i: 290-299), a flaw which resurfaces when he first banishes Cordelia, then…

knowledge of these consultations was ignored. I agree with the White Papers ideas of being able to have full, free and non-discriminatory participation of First Nations within…

a lack of absolute control in any situation. In the Shakespearean play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare introduces and expands upon the topics of control, order, and disorder. There are three specific themes that branch out from the topics. First is the theme of oblivion and the facile manipulation of a person within oblivion. Second is insight into a person’s natural ability to adapt to changes in the environment. The last theme is the concept of never having complete control in any…

What does the duty to consult look like? There’s no legal definition of what needs to happen to be able to call something consultation, so what does it look like in B.C. right now? Has it changed in the last 10 years? What do legal, political and Indigenous scholars say about the duty to consult? What I’ve heard from at least one chief in northern BC (part of Treaty 8) is that consultation is so inadequate, he feels it would be better not be in a Treaty. Because A) they don’t have resources to…
