Name: Instructor: Subject: Date: Book review for The Tempest, Oroonoko, and Beloved The books, The Tempest, Oroonoko, and Beloved are the ones I chose to discuss in these courses. But first, before beginning, there is a need to organize the course by highlighting the goals of the course, content selection, content presentation tools and methods, student’s evaluation methods, and lastly, the selection of instructional materials. For effecting the presentation of the three books, there is a need to start with the simple text to the complex one. Also, doing a book talk, as the instructor, I would briefly talk about the author, explain the characters, read and explain the prologue to make all learners ready and eager to learn more. The mentioned books are written by different authors and have two similar themes of love and slavery, and that is why I chose them since they are easy to connect and understand. William Shakespeare is the author of the play, The Tempest, written early in 1600. As the book starts, Prospero, the seized Milan’s Duke, and Miranda, his teen daughter,…
Death Death is one of the mysterious facts of life since the dawn of time. Death is inevitable, and all living things, both plants, and animals have to die at some point in time. Thus, Emily Dickinson and John Donne came up with poems to try to understand what death is and what happens after a person dies. Emily Dickinson writes a poem titled Because I could not stop for Death, which tries to narrate the story of how death visits her and takes her through a journey of time as she is being transferred to what seems to be the afterlife. John Donne, on the other hand, writes a poem titled, Death Be Not Proud, that seeks to understand the entity of death from a Christian viewpoint that death is only a means to carry people from their earthly life to the afterlife where they are expected to enjoy eternal life in paradise. Nonetheless, the two poets present contradicting personalities of death that show that symbolize their understanding of death and what is the purpose of death. For starters,…

*Breaking the Bread* Friday 1 May 2020 *Theme*: The Pitfalls of a Life Based on Feelings Bible Text: John 12.24, 25 *’Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.’* Friends, in this new series, we will look at the soul is the seat of feelings. The *self* is the *centre* of a life based on feelings. The death of Christ was like the dying of the corn but became the cause of much greater harvest. What do we learn from Jesus? – When we die to the ‘self’, we derive our support entirely from God. Just like the corn depends on the ground for nourishment. – We need to die to the ‘self’ because death is essential to a life of increase. – When we ‘give ourselves up’ individually, we can impact the…

Wellness Self Assessment Student’s Name Institution Affiliation What did you learn about yourself from the self-care inventory and wellness self-assessment you completed? I learned that wellness not exclusively about the absence of illness or stress, but it’s a large perspective gearing towards a general positive life: mentally, physically, and socially. It is a continuous process made possible by a person in their entire life, making the best decisions they can at given intervals in time to ensure the wellness of their life. The assessment made me aware that there is more to wellness than just health. It all comes from an emotional perspective, environment one is in, intellectual, occupation, physical, social, and spiritual perspectives build someone entirely. Did anything surprise you? Spiritual wellness shocked me as to how wide it goes. Surprisingly there is more to our spiritual part that just believing what we are told. One should think it through thus bringing in the perspective of critical and creative thinking and analyzing situations that help…

Some other standard law protections include: This law covers the DOWRY HARASSMENT. In most instances, it involves women suing for an allegation of domestic violence.

vampires as monsters analysis In this essay, I will analyze vampires as monsters. In addition to that, I will use three of Jeffrey Jerome Cohen theses on monster culture to establish and elaborate if vampires fit the description of a monster. Vampires are the subject of thousands of blogs, movies, and novels in today’s world. Television shows like the CW’s originals and vampire diaries bring to life the myth of vampires in the most believable way possible. In these shows, vampires fall in love, procreate, die, and terrorize in the only way the world knows: by drinking blood. These shows all portray the same things about vampires, and that is thanks to Bram Stoker. Bram Stoker first introduced vampires into literature in his 1897 gothic horror novel, Dracula (Stoker,1997). Stoker created Dracula from the behaviors of Vlad Tepes, a Romanian prince who is described as not only a blood-drinking sadist but a national champion who protected his country from the Ottoman Turks (1997).In his book, though, Dracula travels from Transylvania to England to spread the vampire genes, and he meets…
