Angela Chen Mr. Smith English 2 H 16 October 2014 Shrew Search The Black Death: In the 1330s, China was struck with a devastating disease: the bubonic plague. Because it was a great trading nation, many European ships came in and out of its trading ports, and these trade ships eventually brought the disease to Europe in the 14th century, where it would leave a devastating trail of death. The plague first arrived in Sicily through trade ships from Genoa, and by the time the ship was docking, many

the need to be accepted by others, achieved through "conformity to peer group standards and practices" (Furman 49). Furman further shares that many women, indeed, see themselves as beautiful only when others perceive them so. According to Ms. Jovie Anne H. Monsalud, a psychologist, people conform to such standards and seek acceptance from others because they, in themselves, lack self-acceptance. With the emphasis of how women should look like through the standards in beauty pageants, many women, then

her sorrow. In despair, she travels to the home of Queen Astarte in Phoenica to locate Osiris’s body. She becoms a nursemaid to Queen Astarte’s infant son and becomes bonded with the infant. Therefore, she bestows the cloak of immoratality on the child. She is discovered placing the infant in the hearth fire and is stopped by the horror stricken Queen. In this time, Isis expresses her identity and her search for Osiris to Queen Astarte. The Queen leads Isis to find Osiris by making a connection between

A committee was later formed and Chadwick became one of the chair members for it. The committee was called the Military of Application Uranium Detonation. Chadwick was asked to write a final draft in 1941 of the MAUD committee report. Chadwick and a team of scientist was then given a task to determine the cross

Adoniram down and express her frustration to him. Freeman also writes, “‘Father, you come here.’ Sarah Penn stood in the door like a queen; she held her head as if it bore a crown; there was that patience which makes authority royal in her voice. Adoniram went.”(Pg. 556) I enjoy the usage and imagery of Sarah as a queen. The reference towards royalty and being a Queen could be seen towards the reader as a pun; knowing sadly that Mrs. Penn in reality doesn’t have any reign. After sitting her husband

April of 1564 as the eldest of nine children. His parents were John and Mary Shakespeare. He went to school to learn the Latin language, and became an apprentice to his father when he was fifteen years old. When Shakespeare was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway and had three children, two of which were twins. In 1590, he moved to London to begin his dream of acting and playwriting. Macbeth was one of the best-known tragedy plays that was composed in 1606-1607. It is based on the Scottish king MacBeth

A major part of life is to pursue dreams. Life would almost be pointless if people did not have ambitions, people wouldn’t have a reason to get out of bed if they did not have a dream that they want to achieve. Anne Laurel Cartier, the author of the short story “Leaving the iron lung,” specifically looks at how having a dream can affect one’s life. Carter uses conflicting characters, character transformation, and the setting to illustrate to be content with life one needs to follow their dream, to

Some say Henry VIII is the man who ruled in England for over three decades, while others have stated how he was the man who had six wives. Considerably less have conveyed how he was the man whose awful choices led to the downfall of himself and his rule. The truth is, Henry VIII has been put into a box, a box of minimized information, limiting the spread of knowledge about his true self. It is merely about how many wives he had, who his wives were, and what he did to them. That is not who Henry VIII

We have all heard the story of the apple falling on Newton's head while he was sitting against the tree, thus giving him the sudden idea for the Universal Law of Gravity. This, as I am sure most of us know, is not really what happened. A more accurate version would probably be, Newton observed an apple falling from a tree and started contemplating the physics of the apple's fall. The acceleration experienced by the apple, which started at zero when hanging in the tree, then increased

To begin my metaphorical self-portrait, I chose to place myself in a movie theatre to illustrate my love for films. Between the old film projector, classic red seats, and glowing string lights hanging from the ceiling, I wanted to create a space that is both warm and inviting, as well as personalized to me. I have loved to go to the theatre ever since I was little, and whether it is making, watching, or talking about films, I have always found myself interested. Even more, I included a Canon Rebel
