The New Land

T.S Eliot wrote a poem, “Preludes,” which could be a critic of modernity as well as industrialism. Furthermore, the suffering it brings. This is included by first describing the setting in which the poem takes place on line 6 Eliot writes, “The grimy scraps,” and line 7, “Of withered leaves about your feet,” show it. Eliot uses words like grimy and withered to show a setting that is bleak. Then, in the third stanza of the poem Eliot switches to a second person point of view. That means the…

the Council of Claremont. The Crusaders were promised absolution from sin and eternal Glory for their efforts. This to any man is too much to resist, so thousands upon thousands flocked to fight for the cause, with a hope to gain some of their own land on the side. The Crusaders captured many of the mediterranean…

1 My favorite character in Dorothy Must Die would probably be Nox. Nox was one of those characters that you really didn’t learn much about until the end of the story. I think that’s why he seemed so appealing to me whilst reading. He would go from being nice to having a hard backbone in this story. Also, the fact that he had a different form of magic than everyone else set him apart, which is one of the reasons that he stood out rather than the rest of the witches. 2 I can predict, based on the…

to confront the wizard. Elphaba is actually very kindhearted, just deemed as "wicked" because of the use of manipulating propaganda from the wizard. We follow her life story and learn the truth behind her past. The play takes place in the fictional Land of Oz. The actors did an amazing job. They were all believable and truly made the musical magical. The fictional world was transformed into reality on set. All of the characters looked appropriately dressed for each act. Elphaba looked very…

The crusades were more negative than positive because the Crusaders had a vision that they would control the sacred place the holy land and they would do anything to get it. The Crusaders murdered innocent people. They destroyed other cities and other religion sacred places. It is definite that the Crusades were more negative than positive because the crusaders killed innocent people. Document 1 states that “In Europe, Crusaders sometimes turned their fury against the Jews, massacring entire…

first Crusade was good because they accomplished their goals, but the other Crusades were a waste of resources like time and money. The Muslims believed that the Crusades were good because at the end of them all the got Jerusalem, the prize, the Holy Land. There is a great divide between the Muslims…

In Victor Fleming’s film, The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy heavily relies on the advice given to her from the other characters she encounters on her journey back to Kansas. However, not all advice she receives is beneficial or truthful. In many instances, Dorothy is given information from people she trusts, such as the Wizard or Glinda, that is blatantly perfidious. By applying Steven McCornack’s Information Manipulation Theories, we can understand The Wizard of Oz as a description of the purpose of…

The night out was cold, about four degrees Celsius. Men were huddled up together, while others kept their eyes out for the German troops. The first battle of Ypres didn’t go so well, our enemies had used a new weapon on the French troops. It was some sort of deadly chemical weapon. It was April 21st, 1915, so far we didn’t know what to call this war. It was enormous, and affected most of the world. Poor Belgium wasn’t even a part of the force, but Germany tried to attack France by going through…

North represented the farmers in the south and Bryan’s populist supporters in the North and Northwest. The Wicked Witches both represented adversaries to the farmers and their goals. The Wicked Witch of the East represented the Wall Street Bankers in New York led by JP Morgan, while the Wicked Witch of the West represented both the bad weather and drought and the western politicians who opposed populism. She had one eye showing the opposition to bimetallism, and was destroyed by water…
