Elizabeth Bathory Research Paper

I chose to write about St. Elizabeth Ann Seton because I have always loved her very caring, loving, and kind spirit. I also, chose her because my middle name and confirmation name is Elizabeth and I have always felt a connection to her.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was born on August 28, 1774 in New York City, New York. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton parents were Catherine and Richard Bayley. She married a wealthy man named William Seton and they had 5 kids. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was canonized on September 14, 1975.

For my research paper, I plan to write about the Boleyn/Howard family. I will be focusing mainly on Henry VIII wives Anne Boleyn and her cousin Catherine Howard. The time frame I look to examine is from the rise of Anne Boleyn and her family to the fall of Catherine Howard and the aftermath of their executions and how it affected the family left behind. I think that both the Boleyn's and Howard's were very influential towards the middle and end of Henry’s reign. Most prominent is Anne Boleyn who has been polarized throughout history as either an innocently executed wife or a malicious and ambitious she-wolf who brought down Catholicism in England. Whichever way you look at it Anne is one of his most remembered and influential wives. For whatever

How can you be the youngest American self-made billionaire and a college drop out? Thirty-year-old Elizabeth Holmes accomplished this with her company Theranos. “I think a lot of young people have incredible ideas and incredible insights, but sometimes they wait before they go to give their life something, “she said,” what I did was just to start a little earlier” (Holmes). Elizabeth dropped out of Stanford University at the age of 19 and cashed the funds for her tuition to start her company. Her company took the $76 billion industry in laboratory-diagnostics head on. This industry hasn’t changed since the modern clinical laboratory emerged in the 1960’s. Elizabeth’s company wants to use a pinprick of blood in a container smaller than a dime to do 50 plus blood diagnostics in one. This means no vials of blood, no tourniquets and less time than the traditional test time. All the things the company is trying to create are amazing. These advancements will not only help with earlier detections of illnesses; the

Elizabeth I (known simply as "Elizabeth" until the accession of Elizabeth II; 7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was queen regnant of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. Sometimes called "The Virgin Queen", "Gloriana" or "Good Queen Bess", Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. The daughter of Henry VIII, she was born a princess, but her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed two and a half years after her birth.[1]

Beth Brown is an African American woman who studied astrophysics. Astrophysics is an area of science which applies physical laws discovered on Earth to phenomena throughout the cosmos. Cosmos is the world or universe regarded as an orderly, harmonious system (Dictionary.com). Beth is a very appreciated and inspiring astronomer. An astronomer is an expert in or student of astronomy. She was an inspiration to women and minorities in encouraging them to pursue their careers in astronomy/physics. Beth Brown died at the age of 39 due to a pulmonary embolism. When she died, the astronomical community lost one of its most buoyant and caring individuals (Bregman 1).

Elizabeth was a 12 year old girl that had a normal family life. Until it was turned upside down when Parliament passed the Stamp Act in 1765. She lived on a small lot of land just on the outskirts of town with her father, mother, and her older brother. Her father’s name was Emmett Buford. He was a hard working man and Elizabeth loved her father. Her mother was Abigail Buford and she was to stay at home and care for the children, which is what most women did in these days. Elizabeth’s brother was almost 4 and a half years older than her. His name was Abiel Buford.

Abigail Betty's cousin also wanted to be part of practicing witchcraft and I think that's when her uncle thought maybe she had done something to Betty and he told her to cure her. I believe that the truth about Abigail was that she wasn’t a witch .Betty wanted to do witchcraft . Although Abigail had seemed a little scared .One day both of them had gone to the forest and danced ,they had went to the forest ,because the village people believed that when you dance your dancing with the devil.. A few days later I believe they were asking Abigail and Betty what they were doing there and they had said that Mercy was there too. Mercy supposedly had said that she was not doing anything bad that she was just “looking”at them dance . A few days

Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, born on August 28, 1774, in New York, New York, was the first native-born American to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. St. Elizabeth grew up in the upper class of society. She was a voracious reader and studied everything from the Bible to modish books. Despite her higher class ranking in society, her childhood was very tranquil and uncomplicated. As she got older, the Bible became her guide and motivation, she continued to admire the Scriptures for the rest of her life. In 1794, Elizabeth married William Seton, a wealthy young man whom she fell in love with. The first few years of her marriage were joyous and prosperous until many deaths and unfortunate events occurred. The Setons moved to Italy due to

Anne Dudley was born on March 20, 1612. She grew up in cultured circumstances and was a well-educated woman for her time. She was tutored in history, some languages, and literature as well. At the age of 16, she married Simon Bradstreet. On June 14, 1630, Anne finally felt American soil for the first time in her life. The Bradstreet family had moved to what is now called, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Anne had her first child in 1632, his name was Samuel, and he was born in Newe Towne, which that’s what it was called back then.

“They carry different diseases than we do (The Help, 2011)” said Hilly Holbrook as she struggled to hide the fact she was dying to use the bathroom during a card game at Elizabeth Leefolt’s home. She figures that since Mrs. Leefolt does not have an outside bathroom for the colored help that Aibileen uses the guess bathroom as well and she refuses to use it. She later talked the Leefolt’s into building Aibileen her own bathroom outside the house… Racism in Jackson was at its prime in the 1960’s during the Civil Rights Movement. All negro women and some men work for white families and are treated like slaves. All over town signs say ‘COLORED’ or ‘WHITES ONLY.’ You did not talk to the colored help unless you were the one they are working for.

The Wife of Bath is not only sexually driven but she is also money hungry. She has five husbands and of them all she only marries one for love. She believes that all of her husband’s have a debt to pay to her. “In bed they met their grief in fullest measure./There I would scold; I would not do their pleasure./Bed was a place where I would not abide/If I felt my husband’s arms across my side/Til he agreed to square accounts and pay,/And after that I’d let him have his way”(Chaucer, 1332). She uses this money to give to charity and if anyone gives more than her, they felt her wrath. She would “dry up all the charity in all of Bath” (Chaucer, 1317). She believes that a wife is entitled to have what her husband owes her. They are in debt to her and until this debt is paid they cannot have their way with her. The more money given the more she makes her man sweat. It is almost like he is rewarded for paying her. She is not only driven by money she is driven by her strong demeanor to stand up for her beliefs and values despite what others have to say.
