The Holderness Coastline The infamous Holderness Coastline is located on the East coast of Yorkshire, stretching from Flamborough Head to Spurn Point. In the last 2000 years the coastline has retreated by almost 400m and since Roman times over 28 villages have disappeared into the sea between Bridlington and Spurn Head. About a million years ago the Yorkshire coastline was a line of chalk cliffs almost 32km west of where it now is. During the Ice Age deposits of soft boulder clay were built
The Effects of Human Activity on Coastal Landforms Human activities add another layer of complexity to the natural processes of coastal lands and materials. These activities may have direct or indirect effects on our changing coastlines. They may effect sources of new sediment to the coast and the movement of sediment within the coastal environment. Sediment starvation caused by river and coastal management is one effect of human activities on the coast. For some coastal regions, such
Is love a remedy to one’s sorrow or the unfortunate reason of their unhappiness? Love is a feeling that overtakes a person when they are around something or someone they admire. It is present everywhere, in every form, in every condition and even when one least expect its. Although love is said to bring happiness to a person’s life; in the play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, it led the characters into a world of confusion and misunderstanding. Love is chaotic, unpredictable, and leads to sorrow. It
Hermia. In an argument between Helena and Demetrius, she explains how she feels towards him, “And even for that do I love you the more. / I am your spaniel; and, Demetrius, / The more you beat me, I will fawn on you. / Use me but as your spaniel: spurn me, strike me, / Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave, / Unworthy as I am, to follow you.” (Shakespeare II.ii.209-214). Helena is obsessed with Demetrius to put it lightly. All she wants is for him to care for her as much as he does for Hermia.
“Be advised fair maiden. To you your father should be as a god” (Shakespeare, 1.1.47-48). This statement among others is just the beginning of the blatant sexism that takes place in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In a plot filled with love, lust and fairies, the large cast of characters in A Midsummer Night’s Dream includes four key female characters: a captured Amazonian queen Hippolyta, the female halves of the four young lovers, Hermia and Helena, and Titania, the queen of the fairies
Donald Trump’s hypocritical claim to be a Christian is conspicuous as he holds up Grandma’s bible and mispronounces 2 Corinthians, etc., as if to make a joke of the whole thing. When 60 minutes first interviewed with Donald Trump and his new running mate, Mike Pence, interviewer Leslie Stahl contrasted the difference between the two, saying Trump was brash and Pence was quiet and religious. Trump butted in, “Oh, I’m religious.” The proof he offered? “Well, I won the evangelicals.” Trump said. Donald’s
The long-lasting hunt for love Love, doing anything for someone no matter what they do or how much they hurt one, even if it means sacrificing time, money and even getting hurt. How much is one willing to sacrifice for another? In the book, A Midsummer Night's Dream, throughout the story these fictional characters (Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, Helena, Titania, and Oberon) do anything in their power to gain or keep a relationship. Without a doubt, Hermia would do anything for love even if it means
“And I am Brutus, I? Brutus, my country’s friend; know me for Brutus!” (“V.iv.2638”). The Tragedy of Julius Caesar By William Shakespeare is about how characters react to different symbols in their lifetime, and what those actions lead to. Brutus is the tragic hero of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar because this character was manipulated, he was honorable, and he died a devastating death. While the fact that there are other characters that could be the tragic hero, Brutus is actually the only noted
discovering this, Oedipus blinds himself in excruciating guilt, to cut off his senses from the world around him. This guilt is not deserved by Oedipus because he committed the heinous crimes unwittingly he thus, making him innocent of the actions that spurn on the tragic events that occur. While Oedipus possesses some character flaws, they were not conducive to the tragedies that transpire. Rather, he is a heroic and just man who suffers for no fault of his own because of a curse The predominant priority
Monstrous is a term that carries a lot of meaning. Monstrous means something or someone who is evil by having inhumane morals, values, and obligations. The word carries the meaning of something that is great or to an extreme extent, but monstrous also carries a negative connotation. Hitler was considered an extremely monstrous person for conducting mass genocide and treating people inhumanely in his concentration camps. Mary Shelley views the Creature’s actions as most monstrous in Frankenstein
the conspirators used his honor for Rome to convince him to join them. Their fake letters from the citizens that they sent Brutus assisted in making his decision. Brutus said, “It must be by his death. And for my part/I know no personal cause to spurn at him, /But for the general.”(II.i.10-12) His extreme honorability to Rome had blinded him from the real reasons why the other conspirators wanted him to join. Cassius only wanted Caesar dead because of his jealousy and Brutus would have been a
other because of their religions. This hatred is spurred over the greedy interest loan Shylock has offered. Shylock says, You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog, And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine, […] 'Fair sir, you spit on me on Wednesday last, You spurn 'd me such a day; another time You call 'd me dog; and for these courtesies I 'll lend you thus much moneys
to betray Julius or join the conflict against Julius. To support my thesis is Brutus is deciding if he should join the conspiracy against Julius Caesar or not to join the conspiracy, this can be proved because Brutus says, I know no reason to spurn him, But for the general. He would be crowned. How that might change his nature, there's the question. ( II, ii, 11-14) Here Brutus is saying that he says no personal reason to kill him, but if Julius is crowned king, he would probably become
Hamlet is asking himself why should anyone go through life’s struggles “For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin” (Shakespeare 129) What this quote is try to emphasize why should anybody tolerate all the things that happen in life. Most people wouldn’t be able
rest of the plays characters. Shylock is definitely considered a victim to society, and when he accused the Christian Antonio of Anti-Semitism and ruining his business, Antonio answers that he is "like to call thee so again, to spet on thee again, to spurn thee too. If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not as to thy friends, for when did friendship take a breed for barren metal of his friend? But lend it rather to thine enemy, who, if he break, thou mayst with better face exact the penalty." Antonio
Caesar has to die before Rome becomes corrupted. His monologue begins with “It must be by his death: and for my part, I know no personal cause to spurn at him, but for the general” clearly helps the audience understand that Brutus has no reasonable justifications in order to kill Caesar because Caesar has not done anything ‘bad’. ‘I know no personal cause to spurn at him’ is portrayed as Brutus not having any reasons to reject Caesar.
Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Stephen Dedalus is born of a woman, created of the earth; pure in his childhood innocence. From this beginning stems the birth of an artist, and from this the novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, James Joyce recounts Stephen's story. His journey is followed from childhood to maturity, and thus his transformation from secular to saintly to an awakening of what he truly is. The novel evolves from simple, childlike diction, to sophisticated, higher ideas
Jews. This abuse takes place in Shakespeare’s play. In Act 1 Scene 3, Shylock tells Antonio, ‘You that did void your rheum upon my beard, and foot me as you spurn a stranger cur.’ Antonio frequently kicked, insulted and spat upon Shylock like a stray dog. His reply is that he is likely ‘to call thee so again, to spit on thee again, to spurn thee again.’ The audience sympathise with Shylock in this scene and perhaps feel a bit disgusted at Antonio for asking Shylock for a favour after persecuting
He said, “I know no personal cause to spurn him” (Act II Scene i). Even though Brutus loved Caesar, Cassius used two strong motivations to convince him. First, Cassius manipulated him by using his family history. Brutus’s ancestors helped to found the Roman republic, and he told Brutus, “O you
I believe that many people are against outsourcing because of the economic situation that it may have potentially put us at. The economy is able to stay healthy when jobs are being created, people are being employed, and money is circulating. The issue is that when America decides to outsource products or job it leads to businesses having to close down because there is no point in it's existence when there is a cheaper alternative in another country. When situations like this occur it leads to mass
