What I Dido: A Personal Narrative Of My Life

Starting high school can be a little scary, especially when you have no guidance from siblings, like me, being the first one from my family to have an education. But that did not stop me from succeeding, I?ve always been confident and determined. I?m an enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. Who would have thought I was going to be a good athlete plus a book geek, when in my past years I was just a regular kid. I was pretty excited about joining a club that had a connection with high school, that way I didn?t have to start from zero, I always want to be a step ahead. Fortunately, in summer, a high school coach was recruiting freshmen for running either cross country or track, they both involve running, so I considered it like the same sport with different timing. And this is when it all started. Running

Sir Francis Bacon is the next suspect. Sir Francis Bacon was an advanced thinker as well as someone of high standing. During the Elizabethan Era, if someone was of high standing and social class, they were so noble that they had no reason to partake in anything revolving the theater, which was beneath them. That being said, it was supposedly it is one of the reasons why he would become anonymous if he was to post anything. The main evidence people use to prove that he was in fact the write was his book Promus. According to Summary of Baconian Evidence for Shakespeare Authorship, the only Shakespeare notebook, which is a collection of words, phrases and sentences, is actually Promus written by Francis Bacon himself. Promus was written between the years of 1594-1956, whereas all of Shakespeare's plays and poems were written in the 1600's. In most of Shakespeare's plays, there were some words, phrases, even sentences used. For example, in Henry V, Act 3, Scene 7, the line “A fool's bolt is soon shot.” is also in Promus. Another one, for example, is in not only one but four plays. In Merry Wives of Windsor Act 3, Scene 4, Henry IV, Act 2, Scene 2, The Taming of the Shrew Act 1, Scene 1 and the Winter's, Tale Act 1,Scene 2, the

You want to know what shaped/molded me as student. Wow, that's a funny qurstion! I believed I didn't know what made me who I am, but as I look back and forth, I realized, it was me. I am my own motivation. I don't look up to anyone, I just look forward to something. I am a believer, dreamer, achiever, and wonderer. As I look around me and see how my family and others of a different and same ethnicity living their whole life on a budget, barely making ends meet, I tell myself I will be better and become better. I will not let my surroundings select or change the way I am. When I was younger, I believed everything would just come and fall into my arms. I wanted to be all of the occupations I seen on TV. I planted in my head that I would be a

When it comes to my passion most don’t understand it the way I do. For the past three years my passion has been lacrosse. Since I was a freshman at Sandalwood High School my interests for the sport have grown and my devotion and commitment have reached new limits. Most people don’t understand lacrosse, they just know that it is a sport “with sticks and stuff”, and while I don’t take offense to ignorance; sharing my passion with others is never a burden. Lacrosse is one of the biggest parts of my life as of now and I believe it will continue to be for many years to come, but there’s more to the sport than most people know. Lacrosse has a history behind it older than any other sport in America, as well as the fact that as of now,

It started as typical Tuesday with a couple of court hearings, maybe an arrest, but nothing to exciting. That all changed at dawn.

I found relaxing bamboo flute music on YouTube when I was doing bad in school. This soothing flute music helped me to control all my built up energy. I feel like this music helped me to concentrate and it also helped me focus. It was during the middle of freshman year I realized that I had a lot of trouble concentrating so I looked up relaxing music. Once I heard the bamboo flute I felt it calm me down. Like when I listen to this music I can concentrate better. When ever I am upset or angry I put this song on and my feelings just go away, it's like the music puts me into a dreamland. Growing up I always would have a hard to paying attention and concentrating but when I heard the bamboo flute I felt like it changed me.

Sitting alone crying in the early hours of what was now a new day, was a young girl of only sixteen feeling as empty as the bitter souls that convinced her it was okay. It’s not anything but flesh and it has no soul, once it’s all over you can go back to the normal teenage life you once had they said. They lied, as much as I tried convincing myself its nothing, the agony of knowing what I’d done hung in the back of my mind. We live in a generation were premarital sex and teen pregnancy is seen as the norm, leading to a lot more abortions in which I feel most teens are pressured into having by either their parents or partner. Not only does this create a lot psychological and emotional issues in a teen’s life but it also leaves them with no voice and no choice.

Something I will be reflecting on from my 8th grade year ,and how this will change myself for freshmen year. I did study a lot through the whole year of 8th grade,and i should have.I feel 8th grade could have gone better for me if i did things differently like preparing myself for hard tests, I never studied till the end of the year when i found out it really helped me out.

Howard, Reno and I were at my friend’s house TJ smoking marijuana when Howard told me about Chambers.

In the early 16th century, art was on its way to a breaking point in England. The English Renaissance was near existence. One of the most influential playwrights, Christopher Marlowe, was creating plays that people fell in love with. They not only differed from the average plays of the 16th century but they took on controversial themes. Tamburlaine in particular was extremely well received by the public. Marlowe was not the 100% put together playwright who children fantasized and churches praised. He was probably one of the most scandalous playwrights to be as successful as he was. There are rumors that he was, “He was a spy, homosexual, a blasphemer, and an atheist.” (The English Renaissance by Andrew Hadfield). While there are many arguments

The Telegraph lists many conspiracy theories on who really is behind the plays that, as of now, belong to William Shakespeare. The fact that “there is so little know about the real William Shakespeare” and his early life was what brought attention to the author of this article. Joseph C. Hart and Delia Bacon were the first to question Shakespeare in 1856 by stating the “plays were written by several different authors.” Since then, conspiracy against Shakespeare has become more notable and proven more likely. The conspiracies include Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, Sir Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley (because of his initials), and Roger Manners. All of these men are capable of claiming authorship for William Shakespeare’s plays, but he still holds claim to them.

When anyone says Shakespeare’s glorified name aloud, almost everyone instantly knows exactly who he is. Romeo and Juliet, all the famous quotes, and everything about Shakespeare makes him the finest example of a British poet and the most well-known playwright and writer around the world. But, to quote Shakespeare himself, “What’s in a name?” Did William Shakespeare really write his 37 plays and 154 sonnets all by himself and in such a short period? Or was it someone else, more prestigious and educated, who simply used a pen name to remain anonymous? Personally, before this project, I didn’t even know Anti-Stratfordian theories existed and that people doubted the Shakespeare authorship, so I am neutral on the debate of whether he really did

In conclusion, the “real” identity behind some of the greatest works of literature has been a source of inexcusable controversy for over 300 years. From the facts surrounding Shakespeare’s life to the shady understanding of Marlowe’s death, many have been left wondering what to believe. Because it is likely that no damning piece of evidence will ever be found, the mystery remains to be decided in the mind of the skeptic and the question will be forever asked; Was it really

William Shakespeare is one of the most famous authors in history. After celebrating the 400th anniversary of his death just last year, many people came to realize just how influential and important his works are to people. Even after all these years, Shakespeare’s work is still so present and relevant today. What if Shakespeare didn’t write any of the plays he has his name on, however? What if William Shakespeare was never who we thought? That is what some people believe. Shakespeare did not write any of the plays, and they were all written by the 17th Earl of Oxford, Edward De Vere. Although some people think that Edward de Vere wrote the plays, William Shakespeare did write all the plays under his name.

Ever since the author's background has been questioned, scholars and other people have debated over who wrote the famous plays and sonnets that have the name William Shakespeare signed on them. Many alternative candidates have been presented, such as Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. However, these people do not have strong or valid arguments to support their theories. Based on biographical evidence, Shakespeare, not Edward de Vere, most likely wrote Shakespearean works. The arguments for other candidates like de Vere are not strong enough to show that Shakespeare did not write Shakespearean works.
