I do not agree that the collection, The Worlds Wife, is “nothing but feminist propaganda”. I must agree that there are a lot of poems within the collection that are feminist in some way or another but there are also others that don’t really show a feeling of feminist propaganda at all. ‘Propaganda’ means “Information given to show something or someone in a biased way” and ‘Feminist’ means “Women are better than men and so can do everything better than they can” and therefore ‘Feminist Propaganda’

In "Are Families Dangerous?" Barbara Ehrenreich discusses how "media fixations" are recently allowing us to see the true grime that is our ideal family system. Ehrenreich's main contention is that families "can be a nest of pathology and a cradle of gruesome violence." She states that somewhere inside us, whether or not we want to believe; we know that this is going on around us, and media representations are outing the evils of family life. Implying that families might not be the shiny, happy

The most important reason for Wolsey’s fall from power was his failure to obtain a divorce. How far do you agree? Wolsey was a cardinal and statesman, Henry’s lord chancellor and most faithful servant, whom he was most reliant upon. From 1515 to 1529 Wolsey’s rule was undisputed.

Yet, if Mary Stuart was successful in taking the throne would she be a good queen? Although Mary Stuart was educated and had strong

When Anne and her parents were going to the Annexe, they had to wear multiple layers of clothing and carry only one bags because they did not want to draw attention to themselves.

History class in itself has a specific purpose which seems to be frequently forgotten. We learn about violent and horrible events in our past, as well as life- changing and positively impacting ones. From the negative events, we learn what went wrong and how to prevent similar tragedies from happening. From the positive, we gather knowledge and comprehension of the basis of our modern society.
