Captain Darnell's Farewell Lunch Analysis
Speaking with Captain Darnell about your farewell lunch, he thought that it was a great idea but unfortunately we will not be able to go to Olive Garden in Virginia Beach as you and I spoke before since this lunch will take three hour plus and he cannot authorize the civilian to take more than 90 minutes for this type of function. Otherwise, the civilians will have to take leave in order to attend your farewell lunch and he cannot ask them to do that either. Therefore, he recommended for us to pick a restaurant close by so we can go and eat and be back to work after lunch. He said that the most the civilian can be away from work without taking leave is 90 minutes. That brings two questions, first, what do you think about this? Second,

    Simon Middleton’s piece, “’How It Came that the Bakers Bake No Bread’: A Struggle for Trade Privileges in Seventeenth-Century New Amsterdam" was created as a primary source to argue that free-market oriented economies were brought up during the 1661 Dutch bread shortage in their North American colony. The consumption of bread and related items rose increasingly with a massive shortage due to the miscalculation of how many people were involved. Middleton writes this document to collect the attention of his cultured audience by depicting the origins of free trade which is similarly impressive because around roughly the same time William Penn proposed the startup of modern local democracy in North America by colonists. Middleton’s intention was…

    In The Wordy Shipmates, author Sarah Vowell talks about the Puritans and different aspects of the formation of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Vowell makes a vague thesis about how the Puritans were a writing based group of people. Their lives were influenced by all forms of writing whether it is pamphlets, literature, or the bible. The Wordy Shipmates starts off with Vowell stating, “The only thing more dangerous than an idea is a belief. And by dangerous I don’t mean thought-provoking. I mean: might get people killed.” Vowell supports this statement throughout her The Wordy Shipmates as she heavily explains how religion plays an important role in every part of the Puritan lifestyle during this time. When Vowell talks about the Puritan lifestyle…

    John Skelton an early tudor poet and laureate is a well known poet for his poem “Phillip Sparrow” also known as “The Book of Phyllyp Sparowe”. Many have argued that this piece was a satirical poem and others argued that it was just a story of a girl who lost her pet sparrow. Given a short background glimpse from what is known of John Skelton this piece isn't that innocent to the eye as many may have thought. The center focus of this analytical response is dedicated to his poem “Philip Sparrow”. His poem is royalist in tone, highly critical of the church and a moving lament for a young novitiate Jane Scrope loss of a pet sparrow while also binding it to the time that he was castigating his own parish curate, the archbishop of York, and the lord chancellor.…

    Introduction The obituary of John Burton, proprietor of the famous Old Curiosity Shop in Falmouth was printed as a special supplement to the Cornish Echo of 31 May 1907. This included the following paragraph: Bail for the Mignonette Crew In the year 1884 the country was horror stricken by the recital of a story of cannibalism at sea. The yacht sunk at sea, and the crew, after being in an open boat nineteen days and nights without provisions, cast lots among themselves as to who should be killed to afford the others sustenance. It fell to the lot of a boy named Parker to be sacrificed, and he was accordingly killed and eaten. When the crew landed at Falmouth they were arrested and charged with murder, being committed for trial at the Assizes. John Burton came forward as bail for the accused men, £400 for Captain Dudley, £400 for Mr. Stephens, the mate, and £200 for Brooks, the seaman - £1,000 in all. For this act he was presented with a gold snuff box by the citizens of London, a memento he was extremely proud of. The captain and mate were sentenced to death at the Central Criminal Court, London but the sentence was subsequently commuted to one of six months’ imprisonment. Brooks, the seaman, who turned Queen’s evidence, was acquitted. 1 This case became a ‘Leading Case’ which focussed attention upon whether it could ever be necessary to take the life of another for the sake of oneself, regardless of the circumstances. The story In the Spring of 1884, an Australian gentleman visiting England purchased a yacht, the Mignonette, which he wished to have delivered to his home in Australia. He found a man named Dudley who appeared capable of undertaking the task and he in turn, recruited three other men to help him: Stephens, Brooks and a lad called Parker. They set sail from Southampton on 19th May and set a southerly course to…

    Yukio Mishima, Japanese author, is undaunted and audacious when it comes to writing plotlines in the novel The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea. There are scenes that may seem odd and disturbing to Western readers who read his novel for the first time. But when one decides to take a closer look at his unique writing style, the passages that once seemed repulsive to some suddenly turn beautiful. Mishima writes in the very beginning of his novel, “I could defeat ugliness” (Mishima 9). The term ‘ugly’ in this work refers to the state of not having glory and honor. After examining and analyzing the entirety of the novel, it is evident that through Mishima’s rich use of imagery, personification, motifs and symbolism, he is able to demonstrate…
