Will Carr Mr. Hovemeyer English 4 ACC 25 April 2024 The Things They Carry In Tim O’Brian’s work, “The Things They Carry,” the burdens borne by soldiers go beyond just the physical pain and suffering. Tim does an amazing job of showing the emotional trauma of soldiers in the Vietnam War. The mental part of war is not talked about as much as the physical side, and not for good reason. The mental and emotional suffering soldiers go through is worse than the physical pain that they have to endure, which is shown by the stories and experiences of Norman Bowker, Jimmy Cross, and Mitchell Sanders. All three of these soldiers from The Things They Carried have PTSD symptoms that exhibit how harsh war is emotionally for humans.
‘The consolidation of royal authority, in the years 1487-1509, was due to Henry VII’s control over the nobility.’ Explain why you agree or disagree with this view. It can be argued to a certain extent that the consolidation of royal authority for Henry VII, in the years 1487-1509, was a result of control over the nobility. The challenge lied in the ability to decrease their power without alienating them whilst removing their position of threat. However, there were other contributory factors in Henry’s consolidation of his royal authority, such as his diplomatic skills in dealing with foreign powers and the indispensable use of royal finances.
For centuries the world was governed by unethical and overpowered rulers or tyrants. This was the way of life and nobody tried to defy it until a young nation decided to break from tyranny and build a country based on fair morals. For centuries, after we discovered the New World, Britain had a tyrannic dominion over it. As time went on, the people who lived in America kept on receiving unfair treatment by Britain with unethical taxes and rules. Eventually, the colonists were fed up with the cruel treatment and decided to break apart.
Beowulf is the main hero in the poem, and he travels to the land of the Danes to help King Hrothgar get rid of the monster Grendel. After having slain Grendel, there is still a huge crisis present. Grendel’s mother comes to the Hall of Heorot to avenge the death of her kinsmen by killing Aeschere. Aeschere is one of Hrothgar’s most trusted advisors, and his loss bear’s heavy on Hrothgar’s heart. In the culture displayed in Beowulf, the bonds of friendship and kinsmanship are very important to the characters.
Wealhtheow’s response to Hrothgar indicates that there is land, and possibly the position of the future king, at stake in Beowulf’s adoption. Thus she urges Hrothgar to entrust the kingdom to Hrothulf, his nephew, rather than Beowulf. Since it is in her best interest to keep the land of the Danes in good hands, and she has known Beowulf for only a short time period, it is wiser, therefore, to pass the rule of the kingdom to Hrothgar’s nephew, whom she believes will do what is expected, will rule wisely, and treat her and Hrothgar’s sons fairly. While she shows her power multiple times in different ways, Wealhtheow’s defining moment is her address to Beowulf and the rest of the court:
The effects of leadership throughout our timeline in this world have had a major toll on how we shape our lives today. We have many types of leadership like democracy, theocracy, and many more. We see these types of leadership in the poem Beowulf translated by Seamus Heaney. In the epic the main kings are Hrothgar who is a generous and a natural leader of the Danes, and Beowulf who is known as a noble and loyal king of the Geats. Both of these kings went through many events that had many different impacts on them and they succeeded.
At the start of the early-modern period of European history, feudalism was dying, and countries looked to strong, centralized governments for leadership. The popular political theory to address this new development was absolutism. Absolute monarchs reduced the power of nobles in order to consolidate the nation’s leadership under one banner. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Europe’s political landscape was dominated by this form of government. Monarchy was seen by the early modern Europeans as the best form of government for a variety of reasons.
Binomial nomenclature - binary nomenclature A scientific system of naming through which each species of living organisms is given a name composed of two parts; the first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs. For example, humans belong to the genus Homo and within this genus to the species Homo sapiens. Both parts of the scientific name are usually Greek or Latin or sometimes both languages. For example, the scientific name of the narrow-leaf firethorn is Pyracantha angustifolia, where the genus is Greek for "fire thorn" and the species is Latin for "having narrow leaves.".
