A common phrase is “History is written by the victors”. Perhaps that is the reason why King George III of England is remembered as being the mad king who lost the American colonies. However, there is more to the king than what the rebel colonists made him out to be. King George’s reign of nearly 60 years was full of hardships and setbacks, yet he was a hard worker who was kind and looked out for the welfare of his empire.

He comes to prove to his readers that the amount of years that pass by and the number of distance between point A and B is irrelevant as long as you read and write. Words have weight. As readers, we fail to realize that we make connections with the authors themselves in personal ways. We read a book that carries a passageway to the authors minds and from there, we are in a world of fantasies and false realities, or in some cases, we are in a specific time period in which we weren’t even alive for. King stresses that that is the “pure distillation” - that is the beauty of

The Once and Future King, or King Arthur, is a legend that is, despite its age, known by all.

The speech by the Player King in Act 3, Scene 2, is part of the play that Hamlet asks the Players to put on to try and find evidence of Claudius's guilt. The speech itself is a response to the statements by the Player Queen regarding her ever getting a second marriage if he dies. The Player Queen suggests that second marriages are not on the grounds of love or want, but on money and fortune. This part of the acted play by the Player King and Queen is a trap to try and invoke any reactions from Claudius that would show his guilt in the murder of Hamlet’s father. The topic in the speech of second marriages clearly points out the wrongness of Claudius’s marriage to Gertrude.

In June 1791, King Louis XVI and his family snuck out of Paris during the night, hoping to escape from the French Revolution and its violence. He planned to escape the country and return with foreign assistance to reclaim control of France, but the people of Varennes stopped and detained him until authorities arrived and sent him back to Paris. Louis’ attempted escape, in addition to the letter he left behind denouncing the Revolution, “profoundly influenced the political and social climate of France” (223).

<br>King received his college education at the University of Main in Orono. He lacked a financial backer to cover his expenses, so he worked full time in order to pay his tuition. He had published several short stories by the time he reached college and was becoming a serious writer. Contrasting Poe's lack of parental support, King's mother gave him full encouragement to pursue his craft, leaving him with no doubt that this would be his undertaking in life. Because he was so well grounded in his goals, he remained focused in college and blossomed as a writer in the experience. Perhaps this is where the core difference exists between Poe and King; one lacked a strong emotional foundation in his youth and went on to make disastrous choices, consequently keeping him out of reach of success within his lifetime. The other writer was brought up with encouragement, fostering a strong belief in his talents,

King uses allusion like the Declaration of Independence and references famous American Idols like James Meredith and T.S. Elliot. This not only helps King’s credibility, but also for the ideals he stands for. He also masterfully uses rhetorical questions like, “but what else is there to do when you are alone for days in the dull monotony of a narrow jail cell, other then write long letters, and pray long prayers” (Paragraph, 5). King also asks the question, “or should I say book?” (Paragraph, 5). King is using imagery in his rhetorical questions to illustrate his dull and desolate surroundings. He says he is writing a book because he is implying that there are a lot of civil rights issues that he would like to

One unique quality that anyone King has affected can tell you, is how committed he was to his cause. Most people, if it came down to life or death, would back out and try to save themselves, but King was willing to die, just so all blacks then and in the future could experience a life with out segregation, without prejudice, and without discrimination.
