In view of: Master Conner or Bevin Conner
Exposition
I had a plan in mind. Now just to find the right people for the task. I knew that people of Carthya were counting on me. I had no desire to do it for them, this was for me. I was always a well-respected nobleman and one of the twenty regents of King Eckbert who has deceased. I know who killed them, but that is one thing I will never reveal to the public. I need two find three to four boys who will help me succeed in my plan of controlling the vast land of Carthya and the power it holds. If my plans go accordingly, I will be a great ruler of Carthya.
At last, I have reached the northern end of Carthya. I have to find three orphan boys who I believe may fit the part for my plan. I first visited an orphanage at the end of the road and picked up a boy named Roden. Roden seemed to have a good build and looked as if he could change his appearance easily making him a good candidate for my plan. After Roden had been loaded into the wagon where my two trusted servants, Mott and Cregan sat with another boy I had found on my way to the north, I went searching for one or two more. Down the road, I was walking to another orphanage when a boy, about the age of 14 or 15, was running towards the orphanage with a full roast in his arms. Closely behind him was a native butcher who seemed as if he was after the boy. Assessing the situation quickly I stuck out my leg in front of the boy tripping him allowing the butcher to capture him.
The boy seemed to be someone who could help me, but I couldn’t place how. I then realized he could also be a candidate for my plan as the more options the better the choice. I paid the butcher thirty Garlins for the roast the boy had stolen and paid 20 Garlins to the butcher for the boy.
I took the boy to the orphanage to see the master there, Mrs. Turbeldy. I asked her about the boy who stood less than a foot in front of me.

    In the chapter “The Sound of Sirens” in the book The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, is such a strong chapter filled with emotions. Max (a hidden jew) has been hiding from the Nazis in Liesel’s basement for the past twenty-two months. In the middle of the night, sirens go off warning the town to evacuate into bomb shelters. As Liesel and her family scramble with fear, they left Max behind, so they do not get caught for hiding a jew in their house. For Max, he is not allowed to leave the basement because people might see him in the widow. “There were stars,” he said. “They burned my eyes.” While the whole town has evacuated, my prediction was that Max walked upstairs knowing no one would see him, and looked outside for the first time in years.

    It is hard for me to imagine the barriers black composers and lyricist had to face in Broadway in the early 20th century, but Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle hit them head on and has earned himself a spot in Broadway’s long history. James Hubert Blake was born Baltimore in 1983 to former slaves. He grew up listening to rag time music, which would be his mark on Broadway. He started playing a pump organ at home before the age of 5, and would being playing professional by the time he was 6. During this time, he would play at brothers and saloons until he had finally secured a steady job at the Goldfield Hotel in Baltimore. In 1915, Blake and Noble Sissle began a long career of working together extensively, forming a partnership that would last for 60 years.…

    The poem ‘New Prince, New Pomp’ was written in the 1500’s by a martyred Jesuit priest named Robert Southwell. ‘New Prince, New Pomp’ is a Christian nativity poem that describes the humble, birth of Christ in a euphuistic tone. The BBC article ‘Japan’s New Prince Seen In Public’ describes Prince Hisahito’s arrival, that unlike the birth of Jesus, has been greatly anticipated and ‘widely celebrated’. Over 2000 years separate the births and unlike the Virgin Mary, Princess Kiko had the advantage of a hospital birth. Whilst both texts describe the safe arrival of a new born baby of significant importance, Southwell’s piece is clearly one of adoration and worship, whereas the news article assumes a more neutral and informative approach.…
