    Strength in the Links - Beowulf

    A brotherhood is a bond created between men that forms a sense of unity amongst them. The belief is that a brotherhood should work together, fight together and ultimately treat one another as if they are truly brothers. The warriors in the heroic epic Beowulf wear a form of protective armor on their upper body known as chain mail, this chain mail represents the rise and fall of the brotherhood that the community of Heorot so strongly believes in.…

    The Demise Of The Invincible Spanish Armada

    The demise of the “Invincible” Spanish Armada is an iconic event for the time which glorified Queen Elizabeth I. After this battle which lead to the defeat of the armada she became Bellona or goddess of war. Philip II was the Ruler of Spain who was in control in their military and ordered the Spanish Armada to attack England. Elizabeth knew the Spanish had hostility to England and encouraged pirating of the Spanish ships. The ships were coming from the new world which created anger of the Spanish King with insufficient funds to pay the cost of no rebellion in the Netherlands. Philip became frustrated after looting and prepared for war with the English in 1585. Queen Mary was Philip II’s wife before her death after conspiring to kill Elizabeth.…

    Research Paper On Spanish Armada

    In January 1588, Philip II sent a serious message to the Castile, the assembly in which the representatives of cities gathered: "You know all the business in which I have set for the service of God and increasing our holy Catholic faith and benefit of these kingdoms [...] This requires very large and overspending, because it does not go unless the security of the sea and the Indies and even their own homes. ""Enterprise" to which the king was referring to was nothing less than an invasion of England, aiming to overthrow Queen Elizabeth and finish with the support it provided to the Protestant rebels of Flanders, at war with Spain for some twenty years. For this Felipe II had met in Lisbon a giant armada: 130 warships and transport, with a crew of 12,000 sailors and 19,000 soldiers. Commanding a prestigious Andalusian aristocrat, the Duke of Medina Sidonia was. Their mission was to reach Dunkirk, on the shores of Spanish Flanders,…

    Twelfth Night Essay

    Writing about Shakespeare promotes a sympathy with extremes. One such extreme is the impressionism of a critic like A. C. Bradley, when he tries to hold together, synoptically, Feste the fool and Shakespeare himself, both as actor and magical author. Bradley notes that the Fool in Lear has a song not dissimilar to the one that concludes Twelfth Night1 and leaves Feste at the finish-line. “But that's all one, our play is done …” After everything has been sorted out, and the proper pairings are arranged, verbal and structural rhythms converge to frame a sort of closure—though playing is never done, as the next and final verse suggests: “And we'll strive to please you every day.” Bradley, having come to the end of an essay on Feste, extends Twelfth Night speculatively beyond the fool's song, and imagines Shakespeare leaving the theater:…

    Defeat of Spanish Armada

    When she heard that the Spanish were coming she went to tilbury and made a famous speech. She said “My loving people, we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and we do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the meantime, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.” (Took from http://www.luminarium.org/renlit/tilbury.htm) She said this speech to boost the morale of her troops and sailors,…

    I have to agree that Shakespeare’s Macbeth much about the human, nature experiences because it deals with many of the dark depths of humanity. What it conveys about humanity and the human experience is betrayal, cruelty, jealous, power, murder, revenge, and we must be careful about becoming to ambitious. We also have to be careful allowing others to influence us to do something that we know is morally wrong. This play is mostly showing ambition and calling the play a tragedy, Macbeth’s ambition is that of negative outcome murdering people and sending them to slaughter due to his own fears.…

    In response to the Independent article titled "Ere, gis a job" I think that the head teacher produced the letter in order to try to get parents to teach their young children and correct their grammar whilst they are still able to absorb such dialect instead of growing up thinking that slang words or shortened sayings are acceptable for example when they are going to interviews for jobs they may in fact be disadvantaged if they were to use sayings such as "I dunno" instead of "I don’t know". I think the head teacher is merely trying to point out that she believes they are not going to get far in life if they use such slang words instead of proper dialect when speaking to professional individuals, she is saying that slang to her is a bad thing and therefore believes that not using slang such as the above words, but by parents correcting them if they do use such words in their everyday life, would set a good example for their children's dialect in their future. She is also saying to the parents of the children in her school that she doesn’t like how their children are speaking, the way in which they are pronouncing their words.…

    In his Poetics, Aristotle set forth the characteristics of good tragedy. To him the two most important features of tragedy were plot and character. The plot should contain a change in fortune, preferably from good to bad, and should ideally hinge on a recognition or discovery. T The main character, the protagonist, should be a person in whom good and bad are mixed but in whom the good predominates.…
