Imagine taking a typical Sunday morning jog on a sunny spring afternoon, only to stop in fascination to watch as a young woman takes her last moments of life. In this moment, she takes an extra step off the Golden Gate Bridge “to land like a spilled purse at your feet” (Rodriguez 57). She waves to another passerby before she commits the deed and her life is over in a tiny fraction of the time it took for her to get to this point. Observing this event provides an eschatological effect on the viewer, and the viewer in this case was a solitary man named Richard Rodriguez. The woman in his anecdote is never named and neither is the waving passerby for they are part of a bigger picture.

Although King George III fathered fifteen children, his eight daughters lived either childless or unwed; out of his seven sons, three married and only one spawned a child, Princess Charlotte.

Their marriage was very happy and they loved each other and being together. They were portrayed as an ideal family. Albert tragically died in 1861, at the age of 42. For many years after his death Victoria lived in isolation, and eventually appeared more in public, but continued to wear black, mourning his death for the rest of her life.

On June 20, 1837, just four months after her eighteenth birthday, Victoria was paid a visit by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Lord Conyngham.

Times started to transform in the 12th and 13th century with how the government ran in England. Henry II was King at this time and had developed a government system where he had professionals work for him. These professionals had schooling and got paid salary by the King. The government was very institutionalized with royal officials administering both revenues and law. The king did not have to be present much, in place, he had his officials do administrative work and record keeping. The king traveled all throughout the European continent because he was able to, while his working officials did his work in place.
Queen Victoria's reign, lasted 63 years, from 1837 to 1901. She ascended the throne of Great Britain, when she was 18. Despite being the Queen of Britain, and a very influential and prominent person, she also had an impact on Australian history. In Australia the most apparent legacy of Queen Victoria's reign is manifested in the names of the two states, Victoria and Queensland. There are also a large number of other important buildings and places, named in her honor such as, the Queen Victoria Building, in Sydney.
Queen Victoria was born on May 24, 1819, in Kensington Palace in London. Her parents were Edward, the Duke of Kent, and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg. When Queen Victoria was 8 months old her father passed away, and her mother reacted by shunning Victoria's uncles on her father’s side, William IV and George IV. Having had a secluded upbringing her personality hardened and she grew into having strong prejudices towards others and became very stubborn. She was also inclined to self-pity. Her mother's advisor Sir John Conroy twisted her childhood from her. He was the one who had convinced her mother to shun the uncles, and convinced her to raise Victoria by the "Kensington system." This system isolated Victoria from most, and, in Conroy's hopes, would make her depend on him to rule the country. When both her uncle's passed away before succeeding the throne, at 18 years old she became the Queen, and she did so alone. The one thing her mother did teach her was to be cautious in who she friended. Victoria's memory held firm of those who mistreated her, and she was not one to 'forgive and forget'. Queen Victoria disagreed with some of the traditions and values that had been around. For one she hated childbirth and everything to do with children, yet she was supposed to represent motherhood and family and she did. Even though she

In 1830 after her uncle George IV died, she became heiress presumptive next to her surviving uncle, William IV. The Regency Act of 1830 made special provision for the Duchess of Kent to act as her regent just in case William died while Victoria was still a minor. King William in 1836 declared in the Duchess’ presence that he wanted to live until
