They were called kings, assuming that all pharaohs were male. Although Egyptian rulers were generally male, females are important too, and there were several occasions where a female was the ruler of Egypt. Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Cleopatra were all seen as great female pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. The fifteenth

The whole thing ideally wraps up into an awesome 5-paragraph SAT essay (4 paragraphs is acceptable as well!) Why you shouldn't use a fancy SAT essay structure Your SAT essay should NOT use an experimental or creative format – not this time. I encourage that kind of stuff in everything you do OUTSIDE of the SAT essay. I know how much this bland busy-work essay
Herod The Great – Or Was He? Herod the Great is quite possibly one of the most hated figures in the entire Bible. His actions at the announcement of the birth of Jesus were nothing short of evil; however, not much is known from Scripture about this evil man. The only references that we have concerning him are found in the birth of Christ narratives in Matthew and in Luke. Upon hearing the claims from the Magi that they had come to worship the King of the Jews, he ordered what has become known as
William Shakespeare was baptised in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, on April 26, 1564. April 23, 1564 is the day that most believe to be his birthday, but there are no records that state what day he was born. His father, John Shakespeare, was a whittawer by profession and held several important town offices. His mother, Mary Arden, was from a fairly wealthy family. In all the Shakespeares had eight children, and William was their first son. Shakespeare did not have an extensive education. He
address the college. A while ago, I was invited to a seminar where the subject was youth, and people said that the youth of this country was not pulling its weight, that society generally was not satisfied with how the young were functioning. When I was asked what I thought about it, I said that the youngsters of this country are disappointed, disturbed and confused. They cannot understand why all these untoward things are happening in this country. They want to know who is to blame. Not them. If they
the problems arise because his friend Antonio, the one who provided him with the money to woo Portia, is about to be killed because of this loan. Yet, after a series of funny and rather serious situations, Portia manages to save her husband’s dear friend, but she tries to tease Bassanio about a ring she has given him earlier. Thus, the play ends happily and all tensions are removed. Comedy of Humours The Comedy of Humours, on the other hand, was the specialty of Shakespeare's rival, Ben Jonson. Jonson

George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was for drama, and he wrote more than 60 plays. He was also an essayist, novelist and short story writer. Nearly all his writings address prevailing social problems, but have a vein of comedy which makes their stark
a number of tragedies, the greatest among which are Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, and Hamlet.
