Hundred Years' War

The Life of Christopher Robin "But father, I really wanna go to the zoo!" I whined. "No, Christopher Robin, we can't. I'm working today," father evenly stated. He always did that. I hated it when we were stuck at home. I said, "You're always working father. I never get to go to the zoo and see Winnie and Pooh." I complained. "It's just not fair father! Why do we always have to stay at home and do nothing? I hate it, I hate it, I hate --" "Now Christopher Robin, you are making me very angry.…

first published in 1926. It was written by Alan Alexander Milne and illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard (“The). The characters in Milne’s stories are based on his son’s toys and Ashdown Forest in Sussex, near Milne’s home, served as inspiration for Hundred Acre Wood (“Winnie). The characters of Winnie The Pooh are said to show signs of numerous disorders such as Binge Eating Disorder in Winnie the Pooh, Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Piglet, and Major Depressive Disorder in Eeyore. First,…

Pooh goes to see Christopher Robin and asks him if he has a balloon about him - a balloon, of course, being a thing that would enable a small bear to float up into a tree without fear of gorse bushes. Christopher Robin happens to have two balloons, having been to a party at Piglet's house the day before. This is, to put it mildly, a rather troubling plot development - has Piglet had a party and not invited Pooh? He has invited Christopher Robin, and allowed him to take a total of two balloons…

Throughout medieval times and throughout all of history, there have been many people who have caused much controversy regarding whether or not they are good or bad. William Ⅰ, or more commonly known as William the Conqueror, is one of these people. William did many things throughout his reign that may give people the difficult decision of whether or not to call him a hero or villain. Regardless, he did many things that shaped England as a whole and that are still able to be seen today. Although…

At a superficial level, Laozi and Mozi seem to be at odds with one another on nearly all levels. Mozi’s philosophy is backed up with reasoning and a prevailing idea of rational thought in order to create order. Seemingly contradictory is Laozi’s claim that order is created through a spiritual law produced by an entity he calls “Dao” or the Way. At a glance Laozi’s philosophy seems far too mystical to have similarities with Mozi, but they actually have far more in common when it comes to how they…

EDWARD BEAR, known to his friends as Winnie-the-Pooh, or Pooh for short, was walking through the forest one day, humming proudly to himself. He had made up a little hum that very morning, as he was doing his Stoutness Exercises in front of the glass: Tra- la-la, tra-la-la, as he stretched up as high as he could go, and then Tra-la-la, tra-la--oh, help!--la, as he tried to reach his toes. After breakfast he had said it over and over to himself until he had learnt it off by heart, and now he was…

Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, but also through the Hundred Flowers Campaign, the Anti-Rightist Campaign as well as the Socialist Education Campaign. Heng provides a look into these historical pillars in Chinese history in a way that the Golf and Overfield texts could only dream of. It’s a truly breathtaking account of events that are still being felt throughout the nation today. Heng’s account first takes us through the Hundred Flowers Campaign. One of the major struggles of the…

Of everything related to comprehension that was covered in class, I found close reading and text complexity to be the most important. Close reading essentially is comprehension, as it requires a complete understanding of the text. By rereading multiple times and breaking down individual sections of the text, the reader is able to gain increased comprehension than he or she would have otherwise. I have also reviewed my previous reflections in order to evaluate how to best correct my common…

My schooling began when I was about 3-years-old in my country – Jamaica. It was called “basic school” that is the equivalent of kindergarten. There I learned letter sounds in the alphabet, writing the letters and simple mathematics. The building was one large room, with seating that resembled parks tables with the benches attached. The seating capacity for one bench was four. If, the classroom was over crowned six students was put together. My home was close to the school, so I walked to…

In other words, what have I learned through my education? Have I been trained in one special area or have I gained an education not only in one area, but also in learning about myself and who I am? According to Webster’s dictionary, education is defined by the development and training of one’s mind, character, and skills, as by instruction, study, or example and the knowledge and skill resulting from such instruction and training. By this definition, one might argue that being educated means…
