Margot has a different experience with the sun, because she was born on Earth and brought to Venus later in her life, all the other kids had been born there. So Margot had seen the sun every day until she was around four years old. For Example, “...She remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she was four in Ohio. And they, they had been on Venus all their lives, and they had only been two years old when the last sun came out...” She had been able to see and feel the sun for four years of her life while all the other kids only saw it and felt it for one hour seven years ago.

...Aubrey Drake Graham born October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Ontario, who records under Drake. He is a Canadian recording artist, rapper, and songwriter. Drake started off playing Jimmy Brooks on the television series Degrassi. After that career was done he later rose as a rapper, after releasing a couple of mixtapes before signing with Young Money Entertainment (Kellman). For one Drake is one of my all time favorite music artists. He motivates me and puts me in a positive attitude with his original lyrics. The song “Successful” in the album So Far Gone and Ready sticks out as one of my favorite songs record by Drake. He pushes past the dilemmas in his life and all the dislike everybody throws at him but still does what he wants to do. Compared to other rappers, Drake has by far the most meaning in every song he produces. Drake has a music style that isn’t like any other; most of his lyricism is in regard to being rich and famous and also past relationships with strippers. “Drake's sound is labeled as "soft" for his genuine, forgiving lyrics and expressive melody.” (Lester). What is another thing that sets him apart from the rest is he has a wide vocabulary in his rhymes that he produces; you can tell that he is very high educated. From the album Take Care I can sing every song on that album because you can understand Drake when he raps. “Drake has a unique musical style that has set him apart from his Young Money counterparts, especially in his latest effort album “Take Care” (Markman)...

His music career was going in the right direction but wasn’t that good yet. “In 2008, the producers of Degrassi overhauled the cast, eliminating Drake's character” (Profile). Without his acting job and not making substantial amount of money as rapper, Drake was on the brink of looking for a job. "I was coming to terms with the fact that ... I might have to work at a restaurant or something just to keep things going." (Profile). Without a real job or much money Drake could have gave up on everything but he didn’t. In order to achieve...

...Zenja Jones Eng101 – Smith 2 Nov 2015 Jungle The most significant thing I’ve read does not come from a book, a magazine, or a blog. It comes from a hip-hop song. The song was made by a Canadian rapper, turned singer, named Aubrey Graham. He is well known as Drake in the music industry. The song I am referring to is called ‘Jungle.’ There is one lyric in particular that caught my attention and stuck with me. The lyric itself personally inspires me to be my best and encourages me to keep moving toward success. The song is fairly new. It was released in February of 2015, along with seventeen other songs, on Drake’s album ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.’ This is his fourth commercial released album. It was randomly available on iTunes on the thirteenth of February. The album has been very successful, as well as his others. The album debuted as number one on the Canadian Albums Chart and the Billboard 200. Because of ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late,’ Drake became the first rapper to top Billboard’s Artist 100 chart. Jungle has the third most plays out of the whole album. Drake has always been one of my favorite artists to listen to. I feel his music is more relatable than others. Jungle really grabbed ahold of my mind and wedged itself in there, continuously playing even when I’m not listening to the actual song. It loops the same part of the song over and over again when I’m in apposition of giving up. It is a rather emotional song though. The meaning of the...

...The behaviour in which one individual interacts with others and the world around them can enhance or restrain their experience of belonging. A sense of belonging is reliant on relationships and close links with places, particular environments and landscapes. Relationships are initially built upon mutual interests and acceptance and this is closely linked with one’s innate desire to be able to affiliate with a group or another individual. Belonging is a part of everyday life and can enrich our identity and can lead to acceptance and understanding. In Shakespeare’s play ‘As You Like It’ and the first three episodes of the TV series ‘Seachange’ the protagonists experience a wide range of belonging and not belonging not only to person but also to place. This is observed throughout the wide use of juxtaposition of settings, country life versus city life, dramatic irony, and satire to express the characters feelings and to involve the responder. In the TV series, ‘SeaChange’ the concept of belonging and not belonging to place can be compared to similar concepts and values from ‘As You Like It’. In ‘SeaChange’ Laura Gibson’s life is shattered in a matter of a day; she almost kills the family cat, her son is expelled, she misses out on a partnership at work, and she finds out that her husband Jack is cheating on her with her sister. In a sudden change of behavior, she takes a job as a magistrate in a small seaside town, Pearl Bay, where she had been for a holiday with her family during...

...Carl Sagan's novel Contact is about a girl named Ellie who has a deep passion for astronomy. Her passion for Science comes from her Father who only encourages her to explore more into the universe. Ellie always believed there to be extraterrestrial life and worked throughout her life to discover it. People don't understand her or believe her determination to find what she's looking for. Until the day she received contact from a star known as Vega and is soon to physically experience this journey for herself. In Contact, Sagan's message is received through the different parts that occur in the book although, in the movie many parts were left out getting away from the point of the idea. In the novel Ellie's father died when she was 10 but her mother was still alive. Ellie's mother soon found a new husband, who wasn't very encouraging to Ellie. Ellie's step-father always told her to not seem so smart since she was a girl in order for her to make more friends and to attend these different schools. This is a big part in the message because Ellie proved him wrong by her discoveries even if she was a girl. In the film, Ellie didn't exactly have any push to prove her full ability, there was no person telling her what to do. She simply did it for her passion as well as she did it in the novel but there was more of a personal determination for it. Her mother was a a huge factor because it showed more of who Ellie was and to help her realize how much time she was putting into this...

...Between the years 1558 and 1568 the decline in Anglo-Spanish relations was slow and gradual as they became less than open and cordial. This was hardly surprising given the religious differences between a Protestant England and Catholic Spain, although joint suspicion of the Guises was sufficient to keep the two powers reasonably friendly. Despite this, relations dropped markedly in 1568 as a result of the issue of sovereignty and crises that ravaged the Netherlands. It is true that Elizabeth did much to antagonise the Spanish during these years of conflict, although there are many instances where her policy towards Spain was nothing more than a reaction to circumstance. It can, therefore, be argued that Spanish actions, as well as other influencing factors such as religion, contributed significantly to the deterioration of Anglo-Spanish relations between the years 1558 and 1568. The cracks in Anglo-Spanish relations first began to appear after the 1568 trading activity of English naval commander John Hawkins. This trading activity was perceived by the Spanish as an English attempt to break the extensive Spanish trading monopoly and therefore a direct threat to their authority and prosperity. As a result, the Spanish launched a blockade of Hawkins’ fleet. What followed was a ‘tit-for-tat’ approach to foreign policy by both Elizabeth and Philip. It may be argued that this chain of events is proof of Elizabeth’s reactionary foreign policy as a result of Spanish actions that...

...Sir Francis Drake, Vice Admiral (1540 – 27 January 1596) was an English sea captain, privateer, navigator, slaver, a renowned pirate, and politician of the Elizabethan era. Elizabeth I of England awarded Drake a knighthood in 1581. He was second-in-command of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada in 1588, subordinate only to Charles Howard and the Queen herself. He died of dysentery in January 1596 after unsuccessfully attacking San Juan, Puerto Rico. His exploits were legendary, making him a hero to the English but a pirate to the Spaniards to whom he was known as El Draque, 'Draque' being the Spanish pronunciation of 'Drake'. His name in Latin was Franciscus Draco ('Francis the Dragon').[2] King Philip II was claimed to have offered a reward of 20,000 ducats, about £4,000,000 (US$6.5M) by modern standards, for his life. He is famous for (among other things) leading the first English circumnavigation of the world, from 1577 to 1580....

...sister Princess Elizabeth. In 1556, Philip II was crowned King of Spain after Charles V abdicated to retire to a monastery (Philip had already been given Naples, the Netherlands, Sicily and Milan by his father). In 1558, Queen Mary I died. Philip then tried to persuade her sister the Queen of England, Elizabeth I, to marry him - his plan failed. King Philip II had done some invasions when he was king. In 1567 the King Philip II sent the Spanish army to put down the protestant uprising in the Netherlands. In 1571 the Spanish navy destroys Turkish navy in the Mediterranean. In 1588, The Spanish Armada of 132 ships is defeated by the English fleet of 34 ships and 163 armed merchant vessels under Lord Howard of Effingham, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir John Hawkins (war between Spain and England continues until 1603). King Philip II of Spain believe that he was protected by the hand of god and convinced people that everything he does was from god and everything will go their way. King Philip’s theory was wrong as the Spanish Armada of 132 ships were defeated by a English fleet of 34 ships and 163 merchant vessels. Clearly god’s hand was not there to make things go...

...Nina Robertson Mrs. Orso 4th Block 12 April 2013 Queen Elizabeth I Is Queen Elizabeth I one of the most effective monarchs in history? Queen Elizabeth was the first monarch to restore England to Protestantism. She inspired great a long lasting devotion among her subject and stills remains a figure of great interest today. Queen Elizabeth I was the leader of one of the greatest country during her time, Great Britain. The world has had many great monarchs throughout time and Queen Elizabeth I is one. The Mystique of Elizabeth had a great impact among her people and still influences people today. It inspired such great and long- lasting devotion among her subjects and throughout history. It has baffled many highly regarded historians. Her quality during this time was amazing because she was a remarkable leader and had extraordinary talent. Her words stirred national pride and confidence in her countrymen. This is important to remember because she was a woman of her word and everything she did was for her people. (Weatherly) (pg. 10-13) The Mystique of Elizabeth is important not only because this time was such a great impact on people but because of The Elizabeth Age that went on. The Elizabeth Age is not something that is dead and apart from us; it is alive and all round us and within us. Whenever one goes in England there are visible memorials of what those men and women were when they were alive. When the language is spoken today something of the tradition goes on...

...1. Assuming scientists came in to radio contact with some type of ETI in 2037 and I was personally offered to answer one question from humankind, being a staff member of the United Nations. If to be true, I would ask, “In terms of environmental stability and living, how does your planetary system and biology functions function?” This is an important question for an ETI because it can bring light into the difference habitats compared to Earth. Comparing the two environments may open ways in improving our environment. 2. In my opinion, the single most serious threat to the survival of humankind over the next two centuries is the true to be told fact that life on Earth is growing rapidly, and resulting overpopulation. It is important for us humans to relieve the shortage of natural resources, such as gas and oil. As we might already know, our economy and lifestyles are really dependent on the two. With limited resources, makes life on Earth quite more serious. As time goes, humans must solve this problem before larger problems result the issue. 3. The Fermi Paradox states, “if civilizations are all common, then the galaxy should have been colonized long ago” (Bennett 454). However, one may argue the that the solution to Fermi Paradox is “we are alone and there is no galactic civilization because civilizations are extremely rare- so rare that ours is the first to have arisen on the galactic scene” (Bennett 454) Works Cited * Bennett, Jeffrey O., G.
