Power and Betrayal in Shakespears Power and Betrayal.
Christina Kimerle December 2, 2003 Power and Betrayal One must know how to use betrayal and power to achieve goals. Shakespeare's Harry Bolingbroke and Archbishop of Canterbury use their keen sense of betrayal and power to achieve many of their goals. While trying to return from banishment, Bolingbroke betrays Richard II, and Bolingbroke uses his power to gain support for his confrontation with Richard. Archbishop of Canterbury betrays Henry V into thinking that he has claims to invade France. He then uses the power of his position to gain the support of the people and the nobles while encouraging a war with France. Shakespeare's Richard II begins with a dispute between nobles Bolingbroke and Mowbray, and from the outcome Richard will be betrayed by Bolingbroke. King Richard banishes both Bolingbroke and Mowbray as the result of the dispute. Bolingbroke's father, John Gaunt, dies leaving his inheritance within Richard's sight. Warning Richard of the consequences of stealing Bolingbroke's inheritance, the Duke of York says, If you do wrongfully seize Hereford's rights, Call in the letters patents that he hath By his attorneys general to sue His livery, and deny his offered homage, You pluck a thousand dangers on your head, You lose a thousand well-disposed hearts (2.1, 202-207). Bolingbroke believes that he deserves the right to come home to claim his father's
Comparing, Contrasting and Paralleling Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism
Comparing, Contrasting and Paralleling Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism Robert Di Lorenzo 4 January 2005 Ms. Sinisi HRT 3M1-01 Comparing, Contrasting and Paralleling Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism Throughout the world, there are hundreds upon hundreds of religions and faith groups. The beliefs throughout these groups can be quite contrasting and controversial. Most view another's religion as being completely novel where the other contradicts everything in which one believes. In this, prejudice, racism and discrimination are brought about. Yet, if all religions are carefully scrutinized and studied, one will notice that most world religions are very similar. Creation stories can be paralleled, beliefs can be shared and morality can be communal. Yes, there are always differences within the religions (laws about food, clothing etc; moral creed; monotheistic vs. polytheistic), because of the person, time, and place in which the religion was born. In this, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism will be scrutinized to show both their similarities and differences, and prove that, no matter how we worship god, or to which god we worship, our values are all parallel. Hinduism: Hinduism, unlike most other religions, was not founded by a specific individual or individuals. It is a faith that dates back five thousand years to the Indus Valley in Pakistan, making it the oldest of the
Calvin and Knox: Religious Thinker and Religious Politician
Abhinav Parameshwar Western Civilization 7-02-07 Calvin and Knox: Religious Thinker and Religious Politician Human society's teachings and beliefs have been improved, refined, and remade for thousands of years. Great thinkers, who have the ability to think for themselves rather than simply accepting what they are taught without believing it, have changed the human outlook for better or for worse. Christianity, the most practiced religion in the world, has been through many major changes. The split between Catholicism and Protestantism during the Renaissance is the single biggest change that it has undergone. This monumental schism was initiated and spearheaded by Martin Luther. In addition, two men who were influential contributors to the spread of these new ideas were John Calvin (1509-1564) and John Knox (1514-1572). Calvin and Knox both found Luther's beliefs and ideas appealing and embraced them wholeheartedly. Calvin sought to systematize Protestant thought and wrote one of the most influential theological works of all time (Online: Holznagel, p.1). John Knox found himself under the influence of Calvin and struggled to reform religion in Scotland alone (Online: Knox, p. 1). While both John Calvin and John Knox believed in the same theological ideas, they pursued very different religious goals. John Calvin and John Knox grew up in very different backgrounds and

Compare and contrast two of Seamus Heaney's Poems Seamus Heaney was born in county Derry Northern Ireland In 1939.Born into an traditional Irish catholic family Heaney was the eldest of nine children. Growing up on the family cattle farm, surrounded by the lifestyle and traditions that his father, mother and many generations before him had, it was assumed that Heaney would follow in their footsteps. And continue to farm the land and devote his life to the countryside. However Heaney had greater aspirations which ventured far further than the potato drills of his home. After winning various scholarships and gaining a sound education at Europe's largest catholic grammar school, Heaney's works would lead him to be awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1995.Although Heaney did not choose to carry on the trade of his forefathers it is clear in his works that he was heavily influenced by the childhood the country life gave him, with many of his poems having strong referencing towards his upbringing and the significant events that shaped his early life. In this essay I will be analyzing two of Heaney's poems 'Mid Term Break' and 'Digging'. Both poems being taken from his first collection of poems 'Death of a Naturalist'. I will be discussing their themes, ideas, the mood, tone, focusing on poetic teqnique and giving my own personal response to the poem. The First Poem I
Loneliness and isolation in Of Mice and Men
Mohammed Rameez 10:04(r)(tm) Loneliness and isolation in Of Mice and Men In Of Mice and Men many of the characters are lonely and this motivates them to look for an alternative way of life. Characters are also lonely because of something within themselves whack makes loneliness impossible to avoid. Different characters seek comfort in different things for example for Candy it is his dog and for George and Lennie it is each other. During the time in which Of Mice and Men is set (1930s) the great depression was around in America this depression bought poverty and unemployment making people more selfish by people would only think of the best way they could become rich and it didn't matter about anyone else. That's why George and Lennies situation is unique because it was rare to see two guys travelling around together. Loneliness is shown in various ways in this novel through poverty (George and Lennie), race (crooks), Gender (Curleys wife) and age (Candy). The poverty during the great depression(the time when this novel is based) has made people selfish. This is what makes George and Lennies relationship unusual for the time. Slim says to point out why this is odd 'Aint many guys travel around together...maybe the whole damn world is scared of each other'. This opinion is shared across the ranch, as George and lennie are the only two men who travel around together. Because

Television and its effects and importance to, children
"It's just hard not to listen to TV: it's spend so much more time raising us than you have."1 Taken from the television show, The Simpsons, this quotes said by Bart Simpson to his father, Homer Simpson, reflects the importance of television on children's lives. In its 15 seasons, this prime-time show has depicted, in a parodic way, the life of working class American family. Nonetheless, as satirical as the Simpson family and the residents of Springfield might be, many of the subjects portrayed in the sitcom are "real"; such as, the influence of the media on people's lives. In this essay, the importance of television in democracies and the influence television has on politics will be discussed. At the same time, the control of the media will be analysed, in other words, what are the positive and negative aspects of public broadcast and private broadcast. According to the APP (American Academy of Pediatrics), "children in the United States watch about 4 hours of TV every day."2 On the other hand, according to Teen Health and the Media "the average teenager spends more time in front of the television than any other activity besides sleeping."3 Finally, according to The Television Bureau of Advertising and the Nielsen Media Research, in 2003, adults spent 258.4 minutes watching television per day. Therefore, there is no doubt the media, specially television, and increasingly,
Behaviourist And Cognitive Approach To Learning and Phobias
How helpful is Bruce & Young's (1986) theory of face recognition in explaining the everyday experience of remembering faces and forgetting the names of people that we know? In this essay I will be discussing face perception and in particular Bruce and Young's (1986) theory on face recognition. I will discuss their theories of recognizing people's faces and forgetting the names of people who we know. I will discuss how helpful their theories are in understanding face perception. Face recognition allows us to perform the highly adaptive task of identifying individuals and picking up information from their expressions. This is an important social function as it allows us to identify people in our society, create relationships with these people and also be able to non verbally communicate how we feel through facial expressions and gestures. (Bruce 1994 cited by Martin, G.N.(Ed.) et al., 2010, p. 222) Identifying a face involves a number of stages, including recognising the face as familiar, working out where we have seen it before and putting a name to it. Failure at one stage causes particular problems in the process of identification. Bruce and Young's (1986) came up with a cognitive model which describes face perception. This model shows how Bruce and Young's theory splits face recognition into different functions. The first stage of their theory describes how the face is
Loneliness and Isolation in Of Mice and Men
Discuss Steinbeck's Presentation of the Theme Loneliness or Isolation in Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck's novella Of Mice and Men follows two men, George and Lennie, through their somewhat lonely and isolated lives on the ranch. The story is set in America, in around the 1920's, just post the Wall Street Crash. They are bottom of the social ladder, being ranch workers, and travel from location to location in search for employment. They, like many other characters in the novella, had an American Dream. This is the idea of independence, owning your own plot of land and not having to work again. However, in reality, this dream was rarely achieved by such men. Steinbeck opens the book with a vivid description of the surrounding area. There is a lot of colour imagery "sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs." The detailed opening emphasises the point that it is a lonely area. Furthermore, the area in which they are in is "a few miles south of Soledad"; Soledad can be translated into English to mean loneliness or isolation. Steinbeck has chosen this to hint at one of the main themes in the book. There is some evidence of man's mark on nature, "and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard". This quotation shows how there had once been a human presence in the area but now it is isolated. When George and Lennie eventually enter the scene, they are walking one behind the other,
Compare and contrast the poems "Digging" and "Follower".
Seamus Heaney Compare and contrast the poems "Digging" and "Follower". Seamus Heaney was born on the 13th of April 1939 in County Derry Northern Ireland. He began to write from Phillip Hobsbaum advice. He married Marie Devlin in 1965. His first published work was a poetry book called Death of a naturalist Both Digging and Follower are nostalgic poem, which express Heaney's childhood memories and experiences. Both of these poems use a simple language, this makes it easy for the reader to understand and relate to. He expresses it both in an adult and a child point of view. Both Digging and Follower have ambiguous meanings. 'Digging' has ambiguous meaning of his father and his grandfather digging and a meaning of himself digging as well, but he is metaphorically digging into his mind. 'Follower' have ambiguous meaning of Heaney following his father when he was young and his father following him when he is old. 'Follower' is a poem which has a regular rhyming scheme for example "strung" rhymes with "tongue", "round" rhymes with "ground" and so on. Unlike Follower, Digging has an irregular rhyming scheme, apart from verse one and two the others are all blank verses. In the beginning of both poems Heaney is showing the professionalism of a writer in Digging and a farmer in Follower "Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests: snug as a gun", "His shoulders globed like
