A number of them died on the battlefield, most famously Edward Thomas,Isaac Rosenberg, Wilfred Owen, and Charles Sorley. Others including Robert Graves,[4] Ivor Gurney and Siegfried Sassoon survived but were scarred by their experiences, and this was reflected in their poetry. Robert H. Ross[5] characterised the English "war poets" as a subgroup of the Georgian Poetry writers. Many poems by British war poets were published in newspapers and then collected into anthologies. Several of these early anthologies were published during the war and were very popular, though the tone of the poetry changed as the war progressed. One of the wartime anthologies was The Muse in Arms, published in 1917. Several anthologies were also published in the years after the war had ended. In November 1985, a slate memorial...

...Massachusetts experienced a remarkable revival that became the catalyst for revivals throughout the Colonies and in England, Scotland and Germany. In the early 1740s, revival events dominated Colonial newspaper headlines from Boston to Charleston. They reported on itinerant preachers thundering out messages of eternal damnation and salvation to frightened, wailing and repentant crowds on city streets, in parks and at meetinghouses. One of colonial best known Christian theologians was pastor Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) of Northampton. In1736 Jonathan Edwards wrote an article called “A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God. This article soon became a popular book relating to how people had been converted and saved. On July 8, 1741 Jonathan Edwards delivered a sermon, “Sinners in the hands of an Angry God” was example of the Great Awakening of hell-fire and brimstone preaching. Revival sermons like Jonathan Edwards caused people in attendance to weep and scream. Jonathan Edwards believed that the Great Awakening was the work of God and had resulted in many genuine conversions. Just as quickly the Great Awakening began it was brought to a halt. By 1749 the Church had returned to its ordinary state, one of the well-known revivalists Gilbert Tennent stated that The Great awakening was dead. Pentecostalism is arguably the most important mass religious movement of the twentieth century. Today, this movement is the second largest sub-group of global Christianity. It has over...

...Frederick Douglass Narrative Have you ever wondered what life was like for slaves in America during the 1800s and what cruelties they had to endure every day? Frederick Douglass was an African-American orator, writer, and abolitionist who had witnessed and experienced the effects of slavery first-hand. Douglass wrote the “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass” to show the public the horrible depths of slavery. Since he was an abolitionist, he wished to abolish slavery completely and permanently. Slavery was still alive and well when his narrative was written. You can trust what Frederick Douglass wrote about his life and his surroundings because he had no reason to lie or make up any stories. As an abolitionist, he wanted to make known...

...In literature home is rarely portrayed as a place of perfect happiness. Compare and contrast this for ‘The House’ and ‘The New House’. I believe that the poem ‘The New House’ by Edward Thomas is about a person, most likely the poet due to the first person narrative that has moved into a new house. However, we can see from the language used in the poem that he does not like the house, and it constantly disappoints him. Robert Minhinnick’s poem ‘The House’, is, in my opinion, about a man in the loft of his home trying to fix the electrics, realising that the house owns him, rather than vice versa as you’d expect. Both of these poems certainly do not portray happiness through their meanings, and rather give the houses negative connotations. I believe this would have a shock effect on the reader, who would expect poems about people’s houses to have a happy theme. The structure of ‘The House’ is that of five stanzas all of equal length and line length, which I believe represents the tediousness of the house, which is obviously a word associated with something of ‘perfect happiness’. In addition to this, the poem also shows lots of links to conflict, using language that has connotations to war, such as ‘warfare’ and ‘territory’. This is no different in the structure of the poem, and it could be said that the identical stanzas represents the electricity off and on, and similarly to this, the poems rough iambic pentameter is rough like the houses electricity flow. I believe that it’d...

...F rederick douglass was born into slavery sometime in 1817 or 1818. Like many slaves, he is unsure of his exact date of birth. Douglass is separated from his mother, Harriet Bailey, soon after he is born. His father is most likely their white master, Captain Anthony. Captain Anthony is the clerk of a rich man named Colonel Lloyd. Lloyd owns hundreds of slaves, who call his large, central plantation the “Great House Farm.” Life on any of Lloyd’s plantations, like that on many Southern plantations, is brutal. Slaves are overworked and exhausted, receive little food, few articles of clothing, and no beds. Those who break rules—and even those who do not—are beaten or whipped, and sometimes even shot by the plantation overseers, the cruelest of which are Mr. Severe and Mr. Austin Gore. Douglass’s life on this plantation is not as hard as that of most of the other slaves. Being a child, he serves in the household instead of in the fields. At the age of seven, he is given to Captain Anthony’s son‑in‑law’s brother, Hugh Auld, who lives in Baltimore. In Baltimore, Douglass enjoys a relatively freer life. In general, city slave-owners are more conscious of appearing cruel or neglectful toward their slaves in front of their non‑slaveowning neighbors. Sophia Auld, Hugh’s wife, has never had slaves before, and therefore she is surprisingly kind to Douglass at first. She even begins to teach Douglass to read, until her husband orders her to stop, saying that education makes slaves unmanageable...

...The Renaissance :The English Renaissance was a cultural and artistic movement in England dating from the late 15th and early 16th centuries to the early 17th century. It is associated with the pan-European Renaissance that is usually regarded as beginning in Italy in the late 14th century; like most of northern Europe England saw little of these developments for more than a century later. The beginning of the English Renaissance is often taken, as a convenience, to be 1485, when the Battle of Bosworth Field ended the Wars of the Roses and inaugurated the Tudor Dynasty. Renaissance style and ideas, however, were slow in penetrating England, and the Elizabethan era in the second half of the 16th century is usually regarded as the height of the English Renaissance .The dawn of the Renaissance came first to Italy and a little later to France. To England it came much later, roughly about the beginning of the sixteenth century. The light of the Renaissance came very slowly to the isolated island of England, so that when it did come in all its brilliance in the sixteenth century, the Renaissance in Italy had already become a spent force. Literature:The humanists and their reverence for the classics in Greek and Rome, had the effect of stifling the growth in creative literature. Their extreme reverence had the effect of encouraging the close imitation and copying of classical authors. However, as exploration continued, the interest in the world increased as did the natural curiosity...

...http://www.historytoday.com/jerome-de-groot/signposts-historical-fiction These were some of the questions raised at a recent conference at the Institute of Historical Research at which History Today Editor, Paul Lay, hosted a discussion between Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall, and the Tudor historian David Loades. Historians often describe themselves as detectives, seeking out a kind of truth among the conflicting evidence of the past. There is, furthermore, a large and growing subgenre of historical crime fiction. From C.J. Sansom to Philip Pullman, from Orhan Pamuk to Walter Mosley, from Ellis Peters to Boris Akunin, novelists have been keen to use the past as a backdrop for their stories of detection and mystery. The most famous historical detective might be Brother William of Baskerville in Umberto Eco’s peerless The Name of the Rose (Il nome della rosa, 1980). Recently we have seen a flowering of historical crime fiction as the subgenre attains maturity and becomes increasingly popular and innovative. Jason Goodwin, Philip Kerr and Susan Hill were all shortlisted for the prestigious Crime Writers Association Dagger this year (recent historical winners include Arianna Franklin, Jake Arnott and Craig Russell). Clearly the combination of thriller, crime and historical detail is compelling. Anne Perry’s new Inspector Pitt novel, Betrayal at Lisson Grove (out in paperback from Headline this year) is a pacy, twisting thriller. It is 1895 and Pitt is up against a conspiracy...

...Grading Systems - SCHOOL, HIGHER EDUCATION Tweet students grades teachers learning ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Search All U.S. Universities Bottom of Form ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Bottom of Form SCHOOL Thomas R. Guskey HIGHER EDUCATION Howard R. Pollio SCHOOL Few issues have created more controversy among educators than those associated with grading and reporting student learning. Despite the many debates and multitudes of studies, however, prescriptions for best practice remain elusive. Although teachers generally try to develop grading policies that are honest and fair, strong evidence shows that their practices vary widely, even among those who teach at the same grade level within the same school. In essence, grading is an exercise in professional judgment on the part of teachers. It involves the collection and evaluation of evidence on students' achievement or performance over a specified period of time, such as nine weeks, an academic semester, or entire school year. Through this process, various types of descriptive information and measures of students' performance are converted into grades or marks that summarize students' accomplishments. Although some educators distinguish between grades and marks, most consider these terms synonymous. Both imply a set of symbols, words, or numbers that are used to designate different levels of achievement or performance. They might be letter grades such as A...

...In the Appendix, Frederick Douglass highlights that he has spoken in a respectful manner of religion and believes that “those unacquainted with his religious views suppose that he is an opponent of all religion.” He goes on to offer an explanation of his true sentiments towards religion. What is the attitude of Douglass toward religion and why is important for him to “append a brief explanation” on his views of religion? The theme of religion is constantly discussed throughout the Narrative of Frederick Douglass. A man who valued his Christian faith and morals, Douglass emphasizes how he and his friends, Henry and John had to secretly “read the will of God” (372) so that they would not be forced to “spend the Sabbath wrestling, boxing, and...

...American history is the bases for America now. We need to understand the building blocks of our world today, so we don’t make the same mistakes that we did from the past. Everyone should learn from the early settlers mistakes and not also repeat them. In politics people learn from histories mistakes so they will not get overturned and there will not be any civil wars. The role of literature in understanding the origins of American ideology is how freedom of religion, economic struggle, and the government is the same from 200 years ago to the present day. The economy 200 years ago would fluctuate from high to low just how it fluctuates now; people traded and tried anything to make a profit and sometimes the Europeans would give the Indians an unfair trade, just like how people today are capitalists in America and the bosses will do anything to increase their profits even if that gives the workers a lower wage for the same job. When people discover new things they are likely to make money off their discovery. “While the ships stayed, our allowance was somewhat bettered by a daily proportion of biscuit, which the sailers would pilfer to sell, give, or exchange with us, for money, sassafras, furs, or love” (Smith 67). Indians and Europeans are able to make profit off goods that the other group doesn’t make. Just like in our society today we buy China’s products that we don’t make and they buy ours that they don’t make. The foundation of our government elected officials is the government...
