Hardwick Hall Analysis by Mark Girouard and John Harvey Elizabethan architecture is reign of Queens Elizabeth I of England (1558-1603), influence by the European Renaissance styles, though often somewhat provincial in treatment. Hardwick Hall located in Derbyshire, built for the Countess of Shrewsbury (Bess of Hardwick), in 1591~1597. Hardwick Hall, “More glass than wall.” was a popular saying in the time where great expanses of glass were an ultimate luxury and a symbol of immense wealth. It was
(Sir), William St. Loe of Tormarton, George Talbot 6° E. Shrewsbury) This lead her to move from the daughter of a simple gentleman to the most wealthy and powerful woman in England (bar the queen). So, how is this level of success displayed by Hardwick Hall? Firstly, the coat of arms is clearly displayed. This immidietly shows wealth and power as the family who’s COA it is was known for being rich. Secondly, the long gallery. The long gallery would have included painting of QE herself, demonstrating
When the Wollaton Hall Was Built Wollaton hall was and still is a well-known famous Nottingham building. Wollaton hall was built during the period 1580 - 1588. A designer, Robert Smythson, designed it on the commission of Sir Francis Willoughby. Much of the original building still remains, showing the style of architecture around the time of the Spanish armada. The hall had cost a total of £8,000, which was a considerable sum of money in Elizabethan times. Today the hall is a natural history
to engage in homosexual sodomy." (Bowers v. Hardwick) This paper will show that the analysis behind the Bowers v. Hardwick decision was flawed and limited in scope. I believe that the government does not have the right to prohibit homosexual or heterosexual consensual sodomy. Anti-sodomy laws violate the right to privacy, equal protection, and provide no reasonable compelling state interest for these violations. On August 3, 1982, Michael Hardwick was arrested in Atlanta for the crime of sodomy
objective relationship with universal implications. Technically a lyric, the poem filled with narrative and drama: an off-the-farm college girl, a Southerner, and perhaps a Georgian like Sellers herself, has fallen in love with a “quiet girl down the hall” (9). The girl’s conservative mother “has seen to” (10) having her daughter seek for an expert help. Ungraceful, conflicted inwardly, and beset outwardly by parental pressure, the girl now waits to see a counselor. No character speaks, but the role
basic element: the great hall. It was often on the ground floor but sometimes it was raised to the second floor for extra security. “The great hall was a large one-room structure with a lofty ceiling”(Giess 58). This was where all the people of the castles slept (excluding the lord and the Lady). There was of course a great big curtain put up so the ladies would be separate from the men. It wasn’t until the end of the century when separate rooms were invented. The great hall was usually located in
Castle The only sound echoing through the dark stone halls was that of the ancient grandfather clock that rested at the end of the corridor. The noise bouncing off the stones through the grand arches of the once grand hall. Time had both been kind and hard to the castle. The castle had withstood centuries, millenniums of historical eras. It had been once overflowing with the sweet melodies of orchestras as thousands gathered glittering in its hall to celebrate glorious times that had passed by.
Social Construct of a Pool Hall Billiards, or more commonly referred to as pool has been played for many decades. In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century it was played by those of upper class standing in their homes. Over the twentieth century pool shifted roles, becoming part of middle and lower class society. With the class change, pool also moved out of the home and into bars and halls. Pool has been forever transformed; today there are three main groups of pool players
having Whoopi Goldberg reading in a hallway. One does not generally associate hallways with open space, but because there are a series of doorways that run on the left side of the hall, it is as if it is saying there are multiple regions of information to discover. It represents one thought leading to another. Doorways in the hall eliminate the tension in the room and really help to open it up.
away with whatever he did. While this was going on, a nice dressed administrator walked by. He glanced at Samuel, but he had errands from the principal to meet deadlines; he didn’t stop. Rob continued to threaten him; eventually they were alone in the hall. He snatched Samuel’s hand and with a flick of his wrist twisted him around until his face made a sickening thwack against the cool dull metal of the locker. Samuel was just a boy in high school. He was bright, intelligent and every bit as kind as
It beckons for you to come learn its history, walk on the same stones that some of the greats of our country have walked. As you walk out the doors leaving this majestic inn turn and take one last look. Above the north end fire place of The Great Hall the inscription in the stone reads “Take from this hearth its warmth. From this room its charm. From this Inn its amity. Return them not- But return” (anonymous). That says it all and return you should, to North Carolina’s little piece of Heaven here
WHO IS PRINCE HALL ? Prince Hall is recognized as the Father of Black Masonry in the United States. Historically, he made it possible for Negroes to be recognized and enjoy all privileges of free and accepted masonry. Many rumors of the birth of Prince Hall have arisen. A few records and papers have been found of him in Barbados where it was rumored that he was born in 1748, but no record of birth by church or by state, has been found there, and none in Boston.

Shadowing Reflection Observing a student’s day was a great experience. It enabled me to step outside of what I have been preparing for and into the life of this student. It was an interesting and informing experience. The day for the student had already begun when I arrived, but I jumped right into his regular routine. My day with Fred began when I entered his science class. He was sitting backwards in his seat talking while the teacher was in the process of beginning her class. The
a century. He is as important as he is because his work is exceptional in many ways. One of these exceptional differences, in my opinion, is the conflicting view of women Tennyson portrays in his poetry, especially his poem "Locksley Hall." Tennyson's "Locksley Hall" is, in my opinion, a poem that would benefit greatly from an ideological discussion concerning Tennyson's views of women. This poem poses the questions: Are Tennyson's words describing a set of beliefs felt only by the narrator of the
Helen as Angel and Rebel in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall In nineteenth century England, the lives of men and women were completely different. The women had very few - or no - rights and the man had absolute power over his wife and children. He even had the rights to his wife's income or heritage! The only acceptable way for a woman to lead her life was to be a social character, a supporting wife and loving mother, so to speak an "angel in the house". The term "the angel in the house" refers to
seem prophetic. It would not, however, be accurate today. It was September 1st, and I was officially a college freshman. All my dreams were to be realized. The halls would be paved with intellectuals, and the walls would be plastered with philosophers. State College was my Ellis Island. It would be a far cry from my high school, whose halls were paved with punks and whose walls were plastered with simpletons. The entire student body would be eager to debate and discuss the Bible, politics, philosophy
The Farm: 10 Down is the sequel to the well-known documentary, The Farm: Life Inside Angola Prison that featured five inmates living at Angola prison. As a follow up on the stories of the inmates, The Farm: 10 Down was made to show the prisoner’s progress, although for others, their lack of positive growth is evident. Logotherapy, also known as the theories of Viktor Frankl are apparent in the prisoner’s lives and suffering. The progress the inmate’s have made or the lack thereof has labeled them
Graves hall, which was constructed in 1889, used to be the only building on the campus of Morehouse College during early years of operation. Graves hall used to house all college resources including living resources and classrooms. Today Graves hall is one of many residence halls on campus and is predominantly living quarters, as opposed to the various departments it used to house. Although some things about the hall has changed since 1889, some things remain the same. Graves hall is still producing
for you. This was to spy and collect information about Macbeth. I have now completed this and have some quite shocking news as you will soon be aware of as you read on. It all started at Macbeth’s banqueting hall which I was subsequently invited to. We all sat round a wooden table in the main hall waiting for Macbeth’s feast he had prepared for us. Macbeth and his queen wife, Lady Macbeth, They were both upon their thrones which were raised from the ground. Macbeth stepped down and soon the low hum

Either way, it's gone now and with pathetic intentions of finishing my homework I go to close the door. I take a peek down the hall just to assure myself one final time that there is nothing I would rather be doing and when there is nothing worth investigating, aside from a few laughs a couple rooms down, I continue to shut the door. 11:21 p.m.-As I clumsily trip over piles of
