Mary Poppins was played by Freya Forstall‚ Talia Gloster played Bert‚ Nina Crofts played Jane‚ and Michael was played by Kyle Vetter. The theme of Mary Poppins is that there is still a little bit

Mary Maloney was a very complex character‚ her personality changing quickly throughout the story. Roald Dahl’s character was kind at first‚ always wanting to do what would make her husband happy‚ as shown by her offering to make her husband supper at home if he was too tired to eat out as planned. This was changed quickly when Mary acted out and murdered her husband when he shared news that she was unfond of. In “Lamb to the Slaughter”‚ the story starts of with Mary’s husband‚ Patrick‚ returning

Everybody has a place in history. Most of us may not be written in history books (few may)‚ but we still play a vital role in the microhistory of this world. Future historians can analyze any individual’s life and stretch what they find into an analysis of a broad part of history. It doesn’t have to be a single person to analyze a broader portion of history‚ it can be a certain part of history‚ an object‚ a group of people‚ and so on. In my point of view‚ microhistory is when a researcher looks into

belonging is determined by their perception of the relationships and culture around them. Through Adam Elliot’s film ‘Mary and Max’‚ the idea that the way in which the characters look and act becomes almost as important as the ideas they communicate. This way of expressing the characters as individuals is evident through the scenes of letter writing throughout the film‚ when Mary was young‚ her wobbly handwriting‚ spelling mistakes‚ occasional crying and her postscripts such as‚ ‘P.S. ’Have you ever

’Bloody Mary’ was harsh indeed‚ and many people died under her rein‚ but I find it odd that only she gets the title of ’bloody’ even though so many other rulers killed just as much and more as she did. She had people killed‚ yes‚ but her reasons were just that shade purer than‚ say‚ her father‚ who killed women because they could not produce a son and men because they displeased him. She was trying to restore order in an overturned country in the only way she saw fit: with religion. She was attempting
