...King Arthur Reborn Many people around the world have heard the legendary tale of King Arthur. Arthur’s life was known to be brave, courageous, chivalrous, and kind. His life story is still told today and will be told for many generations to come. Soon before his death, the Lady of the Lake takes Arthur to Avalon, where he will wait until he is born into another life to finish living his life and rule England once more. I believe that Anne Hidalgo, mayor of Paris, is the reincarnated Arthur living in our world. Arthur was given away at birth because he was conceived under false pretenses, to a man of noble blood, Sir Ector. Ector treated Arthur and Kay like his sons until they were old enough to start training to be knights. Arthur lived in a castle with his adoptive family but was treated like a pauper. Anne grew up in a small Spanish province just outside of Cádiz. Her family was very poor and strived to be better so they moved to France. Before Anne moved to France, her name was Ana but she changed...

...The Legend of King Arthur is timeless. It is the story of a great king who accomplished much and continues to be an inspiration. There have been many works of literature written about him, as well as movies and plays. The origins of the legend are not completely known, but some of the earlier recorded works include Pearl-Poet's Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur. By analyzing ancient British paganism and Christianity, one can see how they each influenced the creation of the legend of King Arthur to make it the well known story many know and love today. It begins with pagans, the ancient Britons- the Aryans. Pagans are considered the people who had their own local religions as opposed to Christianity....

...King Arthur and Carly Fiorina King Arthur is a huge historical figure and has been for centuries upon centuries. He is known from the Sword and the stone and rumored to have once been a real person, but without enough proof, we may never know. Carly Fiorina is a Republican presidential candidate for the upcoming 2016 election. Carly rose up in the 1980’s and became the Chief executive for the fortune 500 company Hewlett Packard in 1999. These two people, Arthur and Fiorina are much alike in that they care for the lives of others, are willing to fight for our rights and are not only physically strong, but strong willed too. In his life Arthur manages to live through Kay, a difficult feat if you ask me, live through Merlyn's lessons and fight off the evil in the world as he grows up. Fiorina has lived through breast cancer, winning the hearts of many, rose to the top of a prey on prey economy and dealing with the death of her step daughter, Lori, to a drug overdose. These two have experienced hardships that caused the need to care for others, and it being an intense amount of...

...Do you know how Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (also known as SOX) came about? Many do not know the history behind this law that congress created. This research paper is about the history of the law, why it needed to be created, what it means for companies, the effectiveness of the law when it pertains to companies and the responsibilities of the auditors, the board of directors and the managers of the companies. Arthur Anderson was 23 and the youngest CPA in Illinois, he partnered up with Clarence Delany, where they provided auditing, accounting and related services. But soon after Delany decided to go his own way so Anderson renamed the company. Arthur Anderson had a dilemma with a client of his, a freight company, before his issue of his audit report at the end of the client’s fiscal year, a ship sank. In 1915, there were no rules regarding companies to follow when preparing an annual financial statement and there was no rule about reporting “subsequent event” after the close of a fiscal year. Anderson insisted that his client disclose the loss of their ship, eventually after reasoning the client did. After two decades, Anderson faced a similar dilemma but with another client that was much larger and more prominent. He was the independent auditor of this company and when the audit neared completion some members of the audit engagement quarreled over how to define the operating income of the company. Anderson was brought in to arbitrate the dispute for which he sided with his...

...Running head: MYSTERY OF TUTANKHAMEN DEATH Mystery of Tutankhamen Death Patience Williams Professor: Dr. Brook Beshah HUM 111 January 30, 2012 Abstract This paper unravels the mystery surrounding the death of Tutankhamen, an Egyptian Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (1333 BC- 1323 BC in conventional chronology), a period in the history of Egypt regarded as the “New Kingdom” Hankey and Julie (2007). In addition, the paper discusses a brief history of Tutankhamen (the boy king of Egypt) who reigned for 10 years, the cause of his rather untimely death, which up to this day people continues to discuss with a certain degree of uncertainty. The paper accomplishes these tasks by providing a brief summary of some theories that might explain the mystery that surrounds Tutankhamen’s death. Finally, the paper identifies a particular theory out of many regarding Tutankhamen’s death that best explains the mystery of his death. Brief History Before discussing the mystery surrounding the death of Tutankhamen, it is important to know who he was and how and why he became the youngest pharaoh (king) in the history of Egypt and probably the entire world. According to Clayton (2006), Tutankhamen was the son Akhenaten, a former Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt who ruled for 17 years and died probably around 1336 BC or 1334 BC. Tutankhamen who reigned for 10 years, became Pharaoh at the age of nine, but died at the age of 18. Historically, as a prince he was known as Tutankhamen, a...

...They “put aside religious and personal differences and provided a public display of tempered, Judeo-Christian unity” (Bass 10). No matter what the religion or gospel they wanted their residents to follow, but what they targeted to was a community of unity; that proved these eight clergymen aimed to a better society of Alabama, and from my observation, the “Statement by Alabama Clergymen” was not an exception. In 1958, J. Hanes. Connor, known as Bull Connor, came back to Alabama and became the Mayor Arthur (Osborne 399) of this place. Bull proclaimed that he would buy one hundred police dogs in case the black citizens in Birmingham still put up resistance. Even though the declaration had been spoken out, the African Americans still fought until they could attain their freedom. The more the Black fought for the...

...Remember that a literary analysis isn’t merely a summary or review, but rather an interpretation of the work and an argument about it based on the text. Depending on your assignment, you might argue about the work’s meaning or why it causes certain reader reactions. This handout will help you analyze a short story or novel—use it to form a thesis, or argument, for your essay. Summary Begin by summarizing the basic plot: “Matilda by Roald Dahl is about a gifted little girl in small town America who learns to make things move with her mind and saves her teacher and school from the evil principal.” This will help ground you in the story. (When you write your paper, you probably won’t include a summary because your readers will already be familiar with the work. But if they aren’t, use a brief summary to orient them.) Context Research the author’s background and other work. This can give insight into the author’s perspective and bias, as well as tell the reader what he might be commenting on. For example, Tolkien’s The Lord of the Ringsis about a group of friends who embark on an epic journey and fight a...

...1 Liam Davidson 220131049 HINQ100 Question 1 Having considered E.H Carr’s chapter on ‘The Historian and His Facts’, and Arthur Marwick's discussion of 'Historical Facts and Historical Sources', as well as some of the other resources provided, what are some of the issues facing historians in the use of historical evidence? Question 2 Think of an historical event, person or theme that is of interest to you. Find at least one primary source, and one secondary source of relevance to your topic. Identify the sources using the correct referencing style (see the Humanities Teaching and Learning Policies Booklet). Describe your search for these materials and what you learnt from the exercise. 2 Question 1 Historians inevitably encounter some issues when using historical evidence. From finding sources and discerning fact from fiction to interpreting sources and placing them in historical context, the historian’s search for adequate sources is often not a simple one and can be fraught with pitfalls and issues that the historian must overcome. The choice of topic is an immediate issue facing an historian. The possibilities are endless as any part of history is an option for research. Issues when choosing a topic a both professional and personal, will there be sufficient sources on the chosen topic and where can they be located? Is the topic relevant? The personal opinions of a historian come into play when choosing their topic, do they agree with what they...

With the external company auditor blamed at least in part for many corporate failures, corporate governance reform also necessitates a review of the statutory regulation of the company auditor. In particular, the lack of auditor independence when auditing clients has been...
