Alexander Pope was a Roman Catholic poet born in London in 1688 who was self-taught and inspired by classical Greek writers. His masterpiece, "The Rape of the Lock," was written in 1712 as a mock-heroic epic poem satirizing a trivial dispute between two aristocratic families after a lock of hair was cut from a woman without permission. The poem uses the conventions of an epic, such as supernatural machinery involving sylphs and other spirits, to dramatize the trivial conflict in a way that comments on vanity and the disproportionate values of aristocratic society.Hamlet's madness and Ophelia's Madness

The Anglo-Saxon period in Britain lasted from 449 to 1066 AD. It was a time of war and conflict as various Germanic tribes invaded and established kingdoms across the island. The period saw the introduction of Old English and the conversion to Christianity. By the late 10th century, Danish invasions had resulted in much of England coming under Danish rule until Alfred the Great reestablished Saxon control in the south. The Norman conquest of 1066 marked the end of Anglo-Saxon rule.I have a dream

Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech on August 28, 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. to over 250,000 civil rights supporters. In the speech, King invoked the Declaration of Independence, Emancipation Proclamation, and Constitution to call for an end to racial inequality and the fulfillment of the American dream of freedom and justice for all. Through repetition of phrases like "I have a dream" and emotive rhetoric, King envisioned a future where people "will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." The speech had a profound impact through King's powerful delivery and the symbolic site at the Lincoln Memorial.Percy bysshe shelly

Percy Bysshe Shelley received a classical education at home before attending University College in Oxford in 1810. While at Oxford, he published an atheist pamphlet that led to his expulsion. In 1811, he eloped with Harriet Westbrook and had two children, though their marriage collapsed when he eloped with Mary Godwin in 1814. Shelley wrote several poems early in his career and continued writing up until his death by drowning in 1822 at age 30, when his schooner sank during a sudden storm in the Gulf of Spezia in Italy.Samuel taylor coleridge(1772 1834)

The government took several steps to finance World War 1 and manage the economy on the American home front. It issued Liberty Bonds that were sold to the public to fund 1/4 of the war's costs. It also established agencies like the War Industries Board to direct industrial production towards the war effort and manage prices. Additionally, the government enforced loyalty through censorship and propaganda. It cracked down on radicals and passed legislation restricting freedom of speech. The war also changed lives by causing labor shortages that opened opportunities for women and African Americans to enter the workforce.HW#43

Americans changed their lives in many ways to support the war effort during World War 2. The government implemented policies like the Selective Service Act to draft men into military service. Citizens were encouraged to buy war bonds to help finance the war and conserve resources through rationing of goods. People grew victory gardens to address food shortages and the Office of War Information coordinated the dissemination of war information. Industry shifted from making consumer goods to weapons and equipment. Women entered the workforce in large numbers to replace men. Minority groups also contributed significantly despite facing discrimination, with African Americans and Japanese Americans experiencing internment.The civil war ssush9 student 2018
