Prisoners in the Tower of London

William I, or usually known as William the Conqueror, was the Duke of Normandy whose place in English history has always been important. However, not many people realise that he has also contributed significantly towards our lives today. His legacy could be experienced profoundly in the historical era, but life in modern world would not be the same without him. When he crushed the English army, in 1066, he distributed the land he conquered and changed the face of England. Moreover, grand castles

The protagonists in "The Roaring Girl" were able to overturn key social conventions by first overturning the institutional control of space within the city. In his essay "Walking in

The Tale of Two Cities is a novel written by Charles Dickens and was published in 1859. Dickens uses the French Revolution as the perfect backdrop in order to create the atmosphere that surrounds his novel. Dickens introduces us to this period in London and France with the line: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of

The "Middle" Ages were followed by the Renaissance, a time in which art and literature flourished. Thomas More, the first English humanist of the Renaissance, was born in London during this period. More's style is simple because of its colloquial language but a deeper look into his irony hints at deep dissatisfaction with the current thought and desire for change. "Utopia" (which in Greek means "nowhere") is the name of More's fictional island of perfected society. Thomas More's "Utopia" was the

My perspective of Gilman’s short story, "The Yellow Wall-Paper" is influenced by a great number of different and diverse methods of reading. However, one cannot overlook the feminist theorists’ on this story, for the story is often proclaimed to be a founding work of feminism. Further, the historical and biographical contexts the story was written in can be enlightened by mentioning Gilman’s relationship with S. Weir Mitchell. And I can’t help but read the story and think of Foucault’s concept of

Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the Canterbury Tales from the view of a pilgrim journeying with many other travelers who all had tales to tell. I believe that the stories told by the characters in Chaucer's book gives us insight into the individual spinning the tale as well as Chaucer as the inventor of these characters and author of their stories.

Take a minute to look around you; how many people do you see using their phones, laptops, or even have on an I-Watch on their wrists? In today’s society, technology has become an important aspect of our everyday life. It is almost impossible for us not to reflect upon technology, simply because we work, play and think with these machines on a daily basis. Recently, an episode of the popular television series Scandal caught my attention and made me reflect on how personal devices have become tools
