ANSWER- The inscriptions on the oracle bones have become very important historical evidence in the study of early Chinese civilization. The oracle bones, known in Chinese as jia gu wen, are either tortoise shells (jia) or ox shoulder blades (gu) with scripted texts (wen). The first oracle bone was discovered in 1889 in An Yang County, the capital of the Shang Dynasty (1,600-1,100 B.C.E.), and so far nearly 100,000 pieces have been unearthed. The inscriptions on the oracle bones represent the earliest form of the human written language.…
Every character in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet plays and important role in the decisions the title characters make. Indeed, Friar Lawrence, Nurse, and Balthasar directly briong about the downfall of Romeo and Juliet though their roles as middlemen. For example, Balthasar tells Romeo that Juliet is dead, which causes Romeo to kill himself. Similarly, Nurse facilitates their love affair which brings them to the point where they would rather kill themselves than be apart. Likewise, Friar Lawrence marries them and comes up with the plan that leads to their deaths.…

In 1766, the colonists efforts were credited as the act was revoked by British ruling. In order to maintain their power over the colonists and show that they were still dominant, they issued the Declaratory Act. With the Declaratory Act, the British reassured their power and influence on the laws that could be applied to the colonists; with this act they could see to it that any law they wished was to be enforced ( history.com staff). With the success of their protests against the stamp act, the colonists gain a sense of power against the british and proceeded to fight against parliament as they did the year prior towards the implication of taxes upon the colonies (history.com staff). Although many basked in glory over their “victory”, many…

The death behind Edgar Allan Poe, one of the most famous american authors, has been researched by hundreds of people over the past 167 years. Even to this day his death is a mystery. Poe’s life was full of heartbreaks, death, and solitude. Compared to several ideas on how he passed, one really stands out from the rest. The Cooping Theory, proposed by John R. Thomas clarifies the reason behind his death. Cooping was a form of electoral fraud in the United States, a method of vote fraud practiced by gangs in the 19th century. This evidence supports the Cooping Theory, which clarifies how Edgar Allan Poe died.…
Everything in life can be related back to a journey - our character and ability to deal with situations will greatly influence the kind of people we will become. By studying the concept of a journey through a variety of texts, it is clear that it is the journey, not the destination that ultimately matters. The texts, Harvie Krumpet a Claymation short film by Adam Elliot, Stefania’s Dancing Slippers by Jennifer Beck and Lindy Fisher, and Tim Winton’s short story, Big World, reoccurring themes emerge with respect to life’s journeys. Among these are that a sojourner may experience lead to self-realisation and personal revelation, and sometimes, maturity.…
Friar lied… He is deceitful… Meddled… That began the awful tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. We can say that Friar seems like an intelligent and reasonable man however have his actions proven that? Friar is guilty because he married Romeo and Juliet in secret, thinking it would resolve the dispute between the two feuding families. He conjures up a ridiculous plan whereby Romeo gets banished from Verona to allow Juliet to meet him in secret. We will explore all of the flaws in this plan and how it affected Romeo and Juliet. What will be examined today are the roles and responsibilities of Friar, his actions and motivations and their direct and indirect consequences.…
The Friar was wise, but by his want for peace and his belief in love his hasty but trusted decision became a fatal trust fall for more than one life. These personality flaws were not mistakes, but a prophecy to be fulfilled to spiral into a result where hope lays no where but down the road to death.…
Buddha once said “Neither life nor death can erase our good deed”. In Geoffrey Chaucer’s book, The Canterbury Tales, “The Friar’s Tale”, a story about a devious summoner, who likes to take advantage of people, meets his unexpected fate called karma. The underlying meaning and moral of the tale is that all bad deeds will be punished in the end.…
Songs nowadays talk about drugs and the effects, but in metaphors, just like in Shakespearian times. Everything’s a metaphor. It was noted that Friar L called the plants weed, and people in the 21st century still use that term today, as we’ve seen lots and lots of the phrases and tropes we use today were created by Shakespeare. Friar L says the flower he picks from his garden is poisonous, yet he is using it to dope up a little girl. This is an introductory into the “lightly” hinted fact that most things are good in small quantities.…
An inner journey takes place when an individual experiences events or is involved in relationships which prompt them to review their growth and development. The journey results in a different perspective, or changes values and attitudes. The powerful film, ‘The Color Purple’ (1985) directed by Steven Spielberg explores these concepts and shapes the viewer’s understanding of the inner journey as a process of change. These ideas are also deplicted in Ian Mudie’s poem “My Father Began as a God”, and in the narrative titled “Evolution” by Kathy Helidoniotis. It is clear through these texts that an inner journey can be fraught with obstacles and challenges that test the traveller.…

Throughout the tale there are prominent themes of greediness and neediness. For example, when the Friar arrived to Thomas’ house and sees that he is ill and bedridden, he saw that as a perfect opportunity to try to get money from him and said it was all for the church. The Friar tried to use Thomas by saying he has been constantly praying for his health and the Friar told him that if he would just give more to the church and be more like a Friar, he will be more pleasant with life and Jesus Christ will be more accepting to his prayers. In my opinion, the Friar is very hypocritical because even though he preaches to Thomas on greed and sin, the Friar, himself, went around begging for money and food, using the church for his own personal gain.…
