Blackfriars Research Paper
Blackfriars escorts noticed that the name Blackfriars was first used in 1317 (as Black Freres from the French 'frère' meaning 'brother') and derives from the black cappa worn by the Dominican Friars who moved their priory from Holborn to the area between the River Thames andLudgate Hill in 1276. Edward I gave permission to rebuild London's city wall, which lay between the river and Ludgate Hill, around their area. The priory was eventually closed in 1538 during Henry's Dissolution of the monasteries. Blackfriars escorts recorded that Katherine Parr, Henry VIII's sixth and final wife, was born in the area. Some of the buildings were subsequently leased to a group of entrepreneurs who created the Blackfriars Theatre on the site, not far from

    Although not very important, I took the liberty this past month(Black History) to document my research to the age old question, "Was Jesus Black," after a small debate with my auntie Angelina Quarterman arguing that He was a Jew, and Jews are White(lol). The typical Hollywood image in which ancient Israelites look like fair-haired White Americans is way off the mark. The people of the bible were Semitic(Afro-Asiatic languages) and would have been dark- skinned. The racial emnity & equating Black with evil was an unfortunate development in later Europe, devised in part to justify African slavery.…

    My plan for conducting interviews with the Black house kids in Chicago started with my key co-collaborator, Dxxxx Pxxxxx, who is a well-known and highly respected presence in the house community. I knew that he would provide the entry point for where to conduct my spatial observations of the spaces that the house kids used for their social gatherings. This led to combining my snowball sample technique that Dxxxxx helped oversee as well as the house kids that stood out at the party selected for my fieldwork, for various reasons, during my first observational study at the Underground Wonder Bar. Thus, I developed a master list of names and checked off who was present at the party that I could speak with as follow up. After my participant observation…

    Joseph Black was born in Bordeaux on 16 April 1728, one of fifteen children. His father was John Black, an Ulster wine merchant of Scots descent based in Bordeaux (presumably for obvious reasons), and his long-suffering mother, Margaret Black, was from Aberdeenshire (also a member of a wine-trading family). When he was twelve, young Joseph was sent off to school in Belfast to learn Latin and Greek, and subsequently, aged 16, enrolled at Glasgow University in 1744 to study arts. After four years of this, his father persuaded Joseph to take up something more useful, so he chose…

    Before the discovery of Australia, all the world had never seen a black swan before. An impossible accomplishment in someones life before this time was referred to as “ a black swan.” The mere sight of one black swan after the discovery of Australia negated the thousands of years of sightings of white swans and thinking they were the only species of swan. This generalization that was put on the term “black swan” before the british occupation of Australia is just an example of the illustration of the human mind and how one sighting can alter the mindset of thousands of years of thinking.…

    The Black Prince by Iris Murdoch is a twisted story full of drama and scandals with each character more complex than the next. It is often simple to pick apart and make assumptions about a novel’s protagonist. In the case of The Black Prince it is clear to see that the main character and first person narrator is in fact a repressed homosexual. Throughout the novel he faces many challenges to his gender and sexuality and although the stories, “clown” Francis Marloe suggests this many times during the book it is overlooked. Bradley’s sexuality affects many aspects of the novel for many reasons.…

    The Black Prince is structured as Pearson’s apologia to his editor and friend P.A. Loxias. This allows Murdoch to address an audience directly, pausing for philosophical musings, without engaging in the post-modern trick of acknowledging the reader. Loxias and Pearson both write forewords to the main text. Pearson and four other characters offer competing postscripts. Two deny Loxias’s existence. This fulfills early premonitions about Pearson’s unreliability as a narrator. The first significant piece of dialogue shifts “I may have just killed my wife” to “I may have just killed Rachel” in the first twenty pages. Similar inconsistencies arise throughout.…
