Lady Jane Grey

all history, we have London in all it’s glory. With all of their monarchs they had to make very specific and clear decision. With a bloody past and current day haunts, the Tower of London is still standing, and up for visiting until this very day with many tours about the gruesome deaths that resided there. In this true tower of terror, the walls are (metaphorically) stained red with the blood of the past. Countless people have perished in this prison such as the Lady Jane Grey or Guy Fawkes. “Guy Fawkes. The poor soul that was inhumanly treated in this bloody tower. He was beaten, racked all for being caught burning down the houses of parliament. This went on until he and his…

making sense of its recent past, and no French artist of the 19th century was more inspired by English subjects than Paul Delaroche. His monumental work The Execution of Lady Jane Grey was one of the most familiar and enduring images of his time, and remains today among the most popular paintings in the National Gallery. Because of her involvement with the political intrigue that made her queen for nine days when she was only sixteen years old, Grey is one of the best-known women in English…

Mary Tudor was the only child of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. She was born at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich, England on February 18, 1516. Mary was alienated from her father after he annulled his marriage with Catherine because of her failure to birth a son. When the annulment was official, Mary was considered illegitimate and deprived of her status to the throne. By the time King Henry VII died, Edward VI took the throne. He was only 9 years old at the time, but died at age…

Henry had different ideas, he would cut his old life off and give the rights of prince or princess to the son or daughter of his new wife. After being swamped with papers demanding her to sign over her rights, Mary kept a strong headed stance on her rights saying “God had given them to her and only he could take them away” (Buchanan 43). Which was not necessarily true. But she was not changing her mind. Eventually Mary decided to sign the papers after she found out that her father would no…

In the study, college students in the southern part of the United States were shown a color on a computer screen and asked to give their emotional response to each color. The results found that principal hues (e.g., red, blue, green, etc.) were rated 80% positively. The results also showed that achromatic colors (e.g., white, black, and grey) were rated positively only 29.2% of the time. Green was the most positively rated color and participants associated green with nature and soothing…

Dance is an art form consisting of individuals or groups moving in patterns, either practiced or impromptu, to the rhythm of music. Dance and music go hand in hand, allowing the music to set a tone for the dance, creating different styles of dance. Dance is likely to have begun as a ritual to appeal to a culture’s worshipped being or included in ones “rite of passage” (Histoy of Dance, n.d.). Evidence has been found in India showing the existence of dance in the form of paintings made in caves…

control. Gun control has always been a big deal. There are people who believe very strongly about keeping guns, and there are people who believe very strongly about banning them. Everyone has different views, but they are so important because it is such a serious topic.The picture is saying that it is not what the object is doing to cause what it is happening. The people are the reason why things happens. This picture would be for people who want to ban guns because they think guns kill people…

represent two contrasting extremes as they parallel the idea of morality, where white is right and black is wrong. However, the complication arises at the area between the white and black: the grey. The grey area possesses no absolute verdict, for one can be both morally right and wrong. Russian realist Anton Chekhov implements such perception as he colours the story with white, black, and grey. An exploration of “The Lady with The Dog” serves to examine his employment of colour in addressing…

The water is transparent, and its colors are not painted by the sky above, but rather the pebbles underneath. Mostly grey, but I have found the rare creamy orange, or even stony green. There is a fallen tree that had crossed the river, the now exposed roots have become home to a family of squirrels. They often brawl by the riverside, but since I cannot tell any of them apart, I cannot often make bets on the outcome. The one time I tried I may have lost, but I am unsure. Perhaps all the woodland…
