Jean de la Fontaine
La Fontaine, the most versatile and most widely celebrated nondramatic poet in seventeenth –century France. He has often experienced the misfortune of having the artistry of his works obscured by a host of myths, half-truths, prejudices, and nonaesthetic issues. This great poet, has become a "classic". His fables, on which his Reputations rests, are part of the literary canon of French writers and are studied in schools. His other works, however, have been rediscovered and are the object of quite a few recent studies. (Carter, pg.46)
Very little is known about the early part of La Fontaine’s life. He was born in Château-Thierry, a small town in the province of Champagne some fifty miles northeast of Paris. His baptism was entered in the parish of Saint-Crépin register on July 8, 1621. Most take this as his actual birth date, but according to the custom of the period, it probably means that La Fontaine was born a day or two earlier. (Mackay, pg.4) He was the son of Charles de la Fontaine, a royal government official who inspected forests and waterways. His mother Françoise Pidoux, who came from a nobler family from Poitou. He also had a younger brother who was born two years after La Fontaine. He also had an older step sister named Anne de Jouy on his mothers side of the family. (Carter, pg. 46)

The education and formative years of young la Fontaine are not documented. Most biographers state that, in all likelihood, he attended château-
Thierry "college". This is a secondary institution where humanities were taught to the sons of the middle class. (Encarta n.pag.) He then attended a school at Reims. From there he went to Paris to study medicine and theology, but was drawn into the whirls of social life. During that time he became qualified as a lawyer, but never perused it.
In 1641 he went to the Oratory of Saint Magloire in Paris, intending to become a priest and was soon joined by his brother who later dropped out as did La Fontaine. (Http//localhost, pg. 3) After he left the Oratory he went home and started to work for his dad and eventually took over in 1647. The same year he married Marie Héricart, who was an heiress. In 1653 Marie and La Fontaine had a son, (his name was not found in any of my sources).

The ideal historian is someone who wants to find the answer, but does not care what the answer is, curious but not committed. One might only look at the Declaration of Independence, or the Gettysburg Address to see how even a valuable historical document contains what some might call bias. Bias, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is defined as “an attitude that favors one way of feeling without considering other possibilities.” Subsequently, if Founding Fathers, and Abraham Lincoln wrote documents that fit the definition of being biased, what document is not. One such document, Memorable Decision of the High Court of Toulouse, is written impartially, and is styled with such particularity, that the reader is left wondering, what did
Ovid, Pieter Brueghel and W. H. Auden have (inadvertently) created a lineage convenient to these demands. In Ovid's myth "Concerning the Fall of Icarus" from Metamorphoses[i], he created a character that has become an icon, several millennia later. Pieter Brueghel adopted the icon in the sixteenth century for his painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, which then received famous treatment in the twentieth century by W. H. Auden in his poem "Musée Des Beaux Arts." These three works provide a beautiful, laboratory-quality arena in which to apply various deconstructive ideas: Jacques Derrida's theories of translation and the "dangerous supplement" and Roland Barthes' conception of the myth as language. However, such an inheritance necessarily extends to include the critical work that draws it together.
Vincent went to a village school for the first few years of his life, but his parents soon hired a governess. A few years later, they decided once again to change Vincent's schooling, and sent him Mr. Provily's school in a nearby town when he was eleven (2 Greenberg p 7). By thirteen, he was studying Dutch, German, French, and English, along with history, geography, botany, zoology, calligraphy, arithmetic, gymnastics, and drawing; but by March of his fifteenth year, he returned home without finishing school (Muhlberger p 7).
Montesquieu was a philosopher of the 18th century. He was born on January 18, 1689, Bordeaux, France. His father was a soldier and his mother died when he was little. Montesquieu went to college and at the University of Bordeaux to receive a law degree. He married Jeanne de Lartigue and had one son and two daughters. Montesquieu first came popular when he published a novel called Persian Letters. He also wrote many smaller works, but his other major work was The Spirit of the Laws. He was visiting many salons and soon was elected to be apart of the Académie Française which was an academy to revise the French dictionary. He visited many countries and lived in England for two years before coming back to France. Once back at France, he began his second major work, The Spirit of the Laws, and many other minors works. The Spirit of the Laws, by the Roman Catholic Church, was
“The good nurse is the nurse who fulfils the function of nursing excellently…nurses and (nursing practice) makes at least two key contributions to patient care: nursing increases the safety and quality of the care received and humanizes the patient experience” (Scott). This statement is pretty all-encompassing without going into a lot of details. Foremost, a nurse must be altruistic, adaptable, patient, compassionate and a great listener. Most patients want to be regarded respectfully and feel secure in their care. “Nurses that build a safe environment, go to bat for their patients, are responsible, direct and honest are highly regarded by staff and patients…In my experience, the biggest struggles that I see [exuded by nurses] are patience, commitment, responsibility and the drive to protect patient privacy” (Kreklau).
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was born in 1712 in Geneva, Switzerland. His parents, Isaac and Suzanne Rousseau, were watchmakers. Rousseau inherited the duty of being a “citizen” from his father. He was very proud of this position, and often signed his name in his books “Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Citizen of Geneva”. Geneva was a Calvinist state ruled by John Calvin’s ideas of Protestantism. His mother died nine days after his birth, and his father was exiled after getting into an argument with an aristocrat. He wrote in memoir “Confessions”, “...my birth cost my mother her life, and was the first of my misfortunes.” He was sent to live with a pastor, who soon sent him away to become an apprentice of an engraver. He was not skilled at it, and soon became unhappy. With the help of Madame de Warens, a Roman Catholic converter, he ran away to Turin, Italy in 1728. He converted to Catholicism the same year. Madame de Warens helped to educate him, and found Rousseau multiple jobs. In the course of this time, he became a traveling musician, music copyist, teacher, and trained to be a Catholic priest. He also worked as a servant in a noble household. During this time, the mistress of the household, Madame de V...

Class affects the experiences around us-how we grow up, the people we associate with, the schools we attend, our health, and our opportunities in life. Those who grow up in the upper class have the opportunity to attend the best schools, have plenty of food to eat, associate with what society deems the “best” people. The underclass, or the poor, often have a poor education, are on welfare, and are deemed the undesirables of society.
Social class has always been influential in America even though many people put forth that someone’s social class is insignificant when building friendships or any other relationship. But the reality is that those thoughts are mistaken because the truth is social class has become a larger concept than what it’s thought to be. Due to the class difference all the social classes have been drifting apart from each other and avoid interacting with each other (Bartlett 1).
Nursing is not my job, this is my career. Gaining advance nursing education is my goal. I don’t even remember when I decided to be a nurse because I used to say I want to be a nurse when one of my teachers asked me in my grade 2. When I was in grade 4, we had to study about Florence Nightingale and I came to know how she helped people
