Good Queen Bess

When Anne Boleyn gave birth to King Henry the eighths first born daughter, it changed the world’s history as we know it. His daughter, Elizabeth the 1st would have a huge impact on the culture, life and the way women are thought of in British history.

On Sept. 7th 1533, Elizabeth, the daughter of King Henry was born. The King of England wasn’t as thrilled since she wasn’t a boy, who would mean an heir to the throne, but it was still okay. Due to the fact that after 2 more births that resulted in death, Anne Boleyn was beheaded in 1936 when Elizabeth was only 3 years old. As her father continued to remarry, divorce, and execute his wives, one more child would be born, resulting to Elizabeth having one sister, Mary, and a new born brother named Edward. After Edward was born, his mother Jane died. She was known for being the one wife that Henry actually loved. Elizabeth grew into a very smart girl. She was known as Bess as times spoke Latin, French, German, and Henry gave her a tutor to study with. Along with everything else, she developed a temper that would help her later on as being a Queen.
Now, Henry had an heir to the throne, his son Edward. As time would pass, the future king of England was getting more and more weak and sicker. Henry passed on,

As depicted in the film, the indecision, faced by Henry II in attempting to determine which son to name as successor resulted from his desire to have the empire that he had created remain intact, rather than dividing the empire between his sons and this, in turn, led to the fracturing of both family and political cohesion, leaving the empire vulnerable to outside forces. Both Richard and John eventually ruled the empire, supported and influenced by their mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was released from her Salisbury prison upon the death of King Henry II.

    The screeching decibels of my alarm clock woke me at five-thirty that morning. Football practice the day before completely destroyed my body leaving my arms and legs almost unmovable. All my strength was used to stand that morning. My brother told me to stop complaining and get ready for school. He was older and always bossed me around. “I don’t want to go to school” I exclaimed! “What are you going to do, sit at home and stay dumb?” He said. That is not a bad idea I thought. I can teach myself. I imagined the possibility of being homeschooled. I knew homeschooling was not an option for me. My mother worked two jobs and was hardly home to check my homework. If it was an option, homeschooling would be my choice. Homeschooling is a better choice than a Public School education. Homeschooling offers

  • 1536: The Year That Changed Henry VIII?

    1224 Words  | 3 Pages

    He was a human that had emotions, he experienced grief with the multiple miscarriages and deaths of his sons and the betrayals of his wife’s, Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard. Also the death of Jane Seymour, the only wife to give him a male heir, brought him into a depression. These events changed Henry’s perspective of his own self, that he was without a legal heir, his health was horrendous and he was being betrayed by those closest to him. Lipscomb describes the transformation of Henry from the popular prince to the tyrant king know today. As shown, “the last decade of his reign, Henry VIII had begun to act as a tyrant. The glittering, brilliant monarch of the accession, toppled into old age by betrayal, aggravated into irascibility and suspicion as a result of ill health and corrupted by absolute power, had become a despot”. Henry is not thought of as the good Christian, but Lipscomb writes throughout this book that Henry was very serious about his religious affiliations. Lipscomb portrays Henry VIII as, “a man of strong feeling but little emotional intelligence, willful and obstinate but also fiery and charismatic, intelligent but blinkered, attempting to rule and preserve his honor against his profound sense of duty and heavy responsibility to fulfil his divinely ordained role”. In other words he was an emotional mess that did not know what to do with his feelings, so he bottled them up and south to seek

  • Homeschooling Essay

    1060 Words  | 3 Pages

    Homeschooling greatly diminishes the peer pressure a student receives from peers at a traditional school. This enables students to focus on studies rather than trying to fit in or impress others. Kids are able to learn material and pass material at their own pace when being homeschooled. Students do not have to spend a week of class time to learn a particular lesson like in a traditional classroom setting. The student would be able to learn the lesson in a few hours. Homeschool students are more likely to advance at a faster pace, therefore, learning more in a homeschool setting. Parents and students of homeschooling also do not have to work their schedules around the schools schedule. The student has more independence to wake up at a more appropriate time and perform better in their studies. The amount of sleep preteens and teens get, and the time classes begin, are critical to how they perform in those classes. Also, no time is wasted in homeschooling. Many times in a traditional school students are assigned homework that is meaningless, or “busy work”. Homeschoolers do not receive busy work, and can make better time of their learning by doing the necessary work that they personally need. Homeschooling does provide positive results. A nationwide peer-reviewed research project shows that on standardized tests homeschool students perform in average of the 60th to the 88th national percentile. Whereas, traditional school students only perform at an average of the 50th percentile on standardized

    Homeschooling has been taking place since public schools started in the mid nineteenth century, and parents have many reasonable excuses to have their kids participate in it. Some popular reasons for parents pulling their children from public schools are religious beliefs, desire to spend more time with their children, being able to control schooling to the child’s pace, and teaching kids more life skills that public schools generally do not teach. Some parents also believe that it is their responsibility to take care and teach their own child, not a public school teacher that only teaches what is on the standardized tests. Parents may choose to begin homeschooling at the beginning of their child’s educational career. Others

As such, although there are arguments for homeschooling and arguments for traditional schools, each type is wrought with different aspects depending on the judgments of the guardians of the children. Instead of debating which is better, a more important goal would be to come together and accept each other as they are, no matter how they behave in social settings or what grades they got on their recent tests. Each person is given certain gifts and talents, and the use of those talents combined together can form a great unit and make the world a better

In a survey conducted by Dr. Gary Knowles, a University of Michigan Assistant Professor of Education, he interviewed more than 50 adults who had been homeschooled as children. “He found that nearly two-thirds of the adults he surveyed who had been homeschooled owned businesses. Socially, 2/3 of the adults surveyed were married, and none were unemployed or on welfare. Also, more than 75% felt homeschooling had helped them learn to interact with others as an adult.” If you want to prepare your child well for life, then you should consider homeschooling or if you can 't do that then at least consider enrolling them in private or charter
