Edward de Vere and Francis Bacon Did Not Write Shakespeare’s Work People assume that just because as Pruitt (2015) explains “...Nothing has been found documenting the 37 plays and 154 sonnets” (p. 1) that Shakespeare did not do his own work. Everyone believes someone else with more of an education is the mastermind behind the plays and sonnets. Someone like Christopher Marlowe, Edward de Vere, Francis Bacon, or perhaps a group of people. To begin with, examine Francis Bacon. Francis Bacon is a

With furrowed eyebrows and wandering eyes, I scan my word search book in hopes of finding the most difficult words. My pencil skillfully traces a neat circle around the word “magnanimous,” and then my eyes immediately dart to the list of words at the bottom of the page to search for another lengthy word. Despite my frustration, I continue to examine my booklet until I finally spot the word “benevolent” sitting on the page vertically, waiting for me to circle it and cross it off of the list. Beginning

Starting is demeaning. The last thing I want to do is pretend I know what I'm doing - to entertain fantasies of leaving my job and writing for any kind of living or fashionable hobby. It feels so bad when it starts out. If you take things as seriously as I do, whatever you try writing about will dig its heels into the ground, and it will not budge. Anxiety about important things has a way of squeezing the rind of the mind like juice, forcing the writer to turn to some desperate plucking and hair-tearing

within their bodies called pheromones. Because termites are usually found inside dark areas, pheromones help them communicate in these places. Past studies have suggested that ink inside ballpoint pens contains pheromones, causing termites to follow any trail created by the ink. If a pathway is drawn with an ink pen, then a termite will be attracted to the path and trace it due to the pheromones. To test the behavior of termites in relation with the presence of ink, we outlined two shapes with two

and young adulthood, one must find their voice through writing as well. It is a difficult feat to find the proper sum of humor, seriousness, casualness, pretentiousness, or satire. This is something that everyone struggles with as they routinely take pen to paper. Of course, this is all extremely subjective, but until recently my writing voice sucked. As I climbed the academic ladder, clumsily bouncing from teacher to teacher, I heard many varying opinions about my writing. “It is not light-hearted

My Writing Wall Writing isn’t for everyone, yet the number of people writing in this exact moment is pretty monstrous if you google it. Writing has basically been there for me since I was born, it was there when they wrote my birth certificate, when i was learning how to write my name, when i wrote my first essay, taking the STAAR tests, practicing for the AP test, to my first writing assignment for college. People are gifted with creating such rich, breathtaking, emotional, and deep work that last

I would write to him, or more like write for me. I would pour my heart out, I poured my heart out so much so the pen bled through enough to hardly recognize the words that lay on the canvas. I read my words over, and over then set fire to them because he did not deserve to study the tenderness of what remained my heart. I think it is incredibly important for me to

by Brian Selznick Nick Allen is a child full of ideas who decides to replace the word “pen” with the word “frindle” after his teacher has told him that words are formed by the people making them, therefore he must try it out for himself and gets six of his friends to commit to using the word “frindle” instead of pen. Nick and his friends made a big show about using the new word every time they needed to say pen, however Mrs. Granger, the fifth grade, language arts teacher was not in favor of the use

Has writing ever impacted your life? I often write to express my feelings towards situations that are presented to me. Alternatively, I use writing to settle the rage within myself no matter the subject matter I always stay true to writing with internal purpose. Writing something down on paper is much easier for me, it's as though my hand leads my thoughts. It's wonderful to escape and through writing, I get that feeling. If it was not for me taking speech and given the assignment to write about

I was eight years old, all I could think about was my family. How was I gonna go to school? Would I lose my friends? Would I ever see my brother again? I would write about my family breaking up. My writing was on a piece of printer paper with pens, (I wasn’t allowed to have markers at my mom’s house). She wasn’t home much so I would write about the boys she brought home. How some of them had tattoos and some of them had cool, funky hair. I was about 11 years old and my 5th grade teacher told
