In Shakespeare's tragedy, Hamlet, the protagonist is consistently portrayed as a melancholic character. This quality is evident throughout the entire play and will be the focus of this essay. In the General Introduction to The Riverside Shakespeare, Harry Levin explains how the dramatist uses imagery to further emphasize the melancholic nature of the hero. The paragraph is well-written and does not contain any writing issues. No changes needed as this sentence contains a citation. The story opens on a cold and dark winter night in Denmark, as the guard changes on the battlements of the royal castle of Elsinore. For two consecutive nights, at the stroke of one o'clock, a ghost has appeared on the battlements. The figure is dressed in complete armor and has a face resembling that of the dead king of Denmark, Hamlet's father (35). Horatio and Marcellus leave the ghost-ridden ramparts of Elsinore with the intention of seeking Hamlet's assistance. The prince is disheartened by his mother's "o'erhasty marriage" to his uncle, which occurred less than two months after the funeral of Hamlet's father. During a social gathering of the court, Hamlet is present, dressed in black, the color of mourning for his deceased father. In his first soliloquy, he expresses his melancholy and emphasizes the frailty of women, an obvious reference to his mother's hasty and incestuous marriage to her husband's brother. "Must I remember? Why, she would hang on him, as if an increase of appetite had grown by what it fed on. And yet, within a month--let me not think on't--Frailty, thy name is woman!"...

Columbus and Champlain were both devoted to the success of their expeditions; however, Columbus had far more selfish intentions. Columbus was an Italian who sought aid for a journey that would travel across the Atlantic Ocean in search for riches in the East. His support did not come easy as he was rejected by the courts of Portugal, France, and England. Ultimately, Columbus was able to gain authorization and funding for a voyage to begin in 1492 by the Spanish monarchs King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel. After starting the long awaited expedition in April, Columbus was able to reach the West Indies by October of that year. Upon encountering the New World, Columbus immediately claimed the land along with its natives for his Spanish sovereigns.
Christopher Columbus was an Italian sailor and explorer who travelled across the Atlantic Ocean in 1942, in search of a quick route to India Spice trading, which was at the time the largest industry in the world. Columbus made a total of 4 trips between 1492 - 1504 Columbus throughout time has been revered to as a hero, and the reason that many of us are even settled on this land, but there are many dark truths that will be touched upon throughout this report.

Specifically, this case contributes to the development of the OT profession by stressing the importance of emotional connections between therapist and clients. Stated in (Raphael-Greenfield et al., 2017), Peloquin (1993) illustrated that occupational therapist are not viewed as helpful if they only deliver protocols and procedures and are not considerably personal when it comes to their relationships with clients. To go along with facing difficult challenges and relationships between the therapist and the client, this case also highlights the positive results produced when students are thoroughly taught to trust in their own abilities as well as to consider that forming peer relationships is, important. With experiences such as this case to learn by, it will help develop past, present, and future therapist of the OT profession.

Hamlet's public persona is a facade he has created to carry out his ulterior motives. The outside world's perception of him as being mad is of his own design. Hamlet is deciding what he wants others to think about him. Polonius, a close confidant of the King, is the leading person responsible for the public's knowledge of Hamlet's madness. The idea that Hamlet is mad centers around the fact that he talks to the ghost of his dead father. He communicates with his dead father's ghost twice, in the presence of his friends and again in the presence of his mother. By being in public when talking to the ghost, the rumor of his madness is given substance.
Christopher Columbus was one of the most legendary sailors and explorers of all time. Christopher Columbus , an italian explorer, was born in the year of 1451 in the Republic of Genoa. Christopher Columbus was a teenager when he first set sail the ocean in 1465. He became a sailor in 1476 and started to travel many places before going on his largest voyage in 1480. In 1492, Christopher Columbus exploration to the New World linked Europe and the Americas. His discoveries enlightened the globe and started a new age of exploration. His standards and morals changed the history of the whole globe. He was known for traveling for all types of reasons for many foreign monarchs. But why would a monarch from one country be interested in employing an explorer from a foreign country to complete such an important task?
The two poems do seem to have a similar theme; both are focused around describing the poet’s muse. However, Sonnet 18 is not about love at all—Shakespeare makes no reference to love in the poem; he is merely describing how beautiful this individual is. Sonnet 130, on the other hand, is a true love poem, making direct mention to it in the couplet: “And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare / As any she belied with false compare.” Surprisingly enough, Sonnet 18 shows more the love Shakespeare has for himself and his writing ability. In the last three lines: “When in eternal lines to time thou growest: / So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, / So long lives this and this gives life to thee.” he is basically saying that in his eternal verse his muse will forever live. And although the couplet is sweet, a different approach to its meaning would be: “As long as people can read, they will read my poetry!” Sonnets were created to show-off a poet’s skill and not their love—in Sonnet 18 it is most apparent.
Cortes was followed by Francisco Pizarro who reached Peru in 1526. Both explorers found great wealth for Spain, with Cortes conquering the Aztecs and their city of Tenochtitlan and Pizarro plundering the wealthy Incas. However, the expeditions wreaked havoc for the native people of the lands that were explored. In 1598, Spanish settlers arrived in the America and settled in the territory they named New Mexico. Goods, ideas, and disease are exchanged between the Spanish and the Native Americans, allowing the new settlers to thrive but causing the Native Americans to suffer due to disease. These thriving settlements allowed Spain to gain wealth and become the most powerful nation in Europe during this time
