...adventure of the main character Alice Kingsleigh to Underland, where she visited thirteen years ago when she was six. At that time the Underland (or Wonderland as Alice calls it) was the White Queen's reign, but now being controlled by her easily-irritated sister the Red Queen who hates animals and uses them as servants. Alice is foretold to be the only one who can slay the dragon-like creature Jabberwocky which is controlled by the Red Queen who terrorizes Underland's inhabitants, and finally with her courage restores the White Queen to power. The film Alice in Wonderland has showed different meaning of femininity by the three main characters Alice, the Red Queen , and the White Queen, who play other than traditional gender roles of women as expected by the society. Like Alice who is brave to confront the society's expectations of a young woman by being strong and courageous to choose her own life. Also, the Red Queen and the White Queen have shown the opposite situation of patriarchy when men usually act as superior and are dominant or controlling most situations, by playing the role of the other gender in being in-charge of Underland and having command of the soldiers and other male characters. Finally, the Red Queen has acted contrary to expected female personalities of being loving and patient, as shown by her easily-irritated...

...SUBMITTED TO: DATE: 06/05/2016 Q.1. (A) Would King & Queen be liable to EFL? Provide specific case references to support your answers King & Queen will be liable to EFL in as the firm has been at fault in providing the accurate credentials in the financial report. As mentioned in the case study, it clearly states that the audit report was unqualified and it did not state the drop in both the debtor’s turnover and the inventory turnover. In addition to this, the case study also tells us that King & Queen did not deem necessary to carry out additional auditing work for the valuation of the assets of Impulse Pty Ltd, which lead to false statements in the financial report showing that Impulse Pty Ltd was still in the game and doing good in business. Based on the financial report from the auditors, Impulse Pty Ltd applied for a further loan from EFL to boost up their sales and help them with their working capital, but because of the existing losses the loan amount did not help either. Based on the credentials provided by King & Queen in the financial report, EFL decided to approve the loan for Impulse. As per the rules, if the financial report is misleading, the party granting the finance or investment has the right to sue the auditing company and the company taking the loan or investment itself. Based on all these specific issues highlighted in the case study, we can conclude that King & Queen will be liable to pay the damages to EFL resulting in the failure...

...Beatrice Queen Victoria Summary Queen Victoria was the longest-reigning British monarch, ruling the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for 64 years. She was fiercely independent and although she faced dwindling direct political control, she strengthened the monarchy by redefining its role in British life. Victoria as Queen of Britain Victoria immediately took steps to minimize Conroy’s influence. She dismissed him from her household and relegated her mother, who did not dismiss him, to remote living quarters at Buckingham Palace, effectively cutting off contact with them although social convention required her to continue living with her mother. Melbourne counseled her that the only acceptable way to remove them from her day-to-day life and the palace would be if she married. Her mother and Conroy had considered suitable matches for Victoria before she became queen. Her mother’s brother, King Leopold I of Belgium, had arranged for her to meet to his nephew, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in May 1836, and Victoria made it clear that she preferred Albert over the other candidates being considered for her. Late in 1839 Victoria and Albert met again. He was now a student at the University of Bonn, intellectually engaging and, she thought, handsome. Five days after his arrival at Windsor, she proposed (he could not propose because of social protocol since she was queen). They were married on February 10, 1840, the first wedding of a reigning Queen of England...

...Before Queen Elizabeth took reign in England, she was a prisoner due to her Protestant beliefs. Queen Elizabeth did not have the perfect fantasy life that you think a princess would have. She, like many, had struggled throughout her childhood. Even though Queen Elizabeth had a very hard childhood, she is now known as one of the greatest, most influential queens of all time. Queen Elizabeth had an extremely traumatic childhood. On September 7, 1533 Queen Elizabeth was born at Greenwich Palace (Hanson). Queen Elizabeth’s birth was one of the most exciting political events in the sixteenth century European history (Hanson). She was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn (Moral and Greenblatt). When Queen Elizabeth was two years old, a tragedy occurred within her family. Her mother, Anne Boleyn, had been charged with adultery and treason. Her father, King Henry VIII, made the very difficult choice of beheading her due to the charges he bestowed upon her. Shortly after her mother's death, her father remarried a woman named Jane Seymour. Jane died not too many days after she gave birth to her son, Edward (Sharnette). When Queen Elizabeth was four years old, her life changed due to the presence of an important person, Katherine Champernowne. Katherine...

Even a little frightened. She worked for a female partner in a big consulting firm. Her boss was so solicitous that Kelly hoped the woman—one of just a few top female partners—might become her mentor. But she began to feel that something was wrong. In meetings, her boss would dismiss her ideas without discussion and even cut her off in mid-sentence. Kelly started to hear about meetings to which she wasn't invited but felt she should be. She was excluded from her boss's small circle of confidants. What confused Kelly was that she was otherwise doing well at the firm. She felt respected and supported by the other senior partners. She had just one problem, but it was a big one.

...Elements of Drama: A Review of Hamlet Elements of Drama: A Review of Hamlet The way an artist creates a sculpture is similar to the tactics of a drama writer. While artist focus on the color and shape of their creations, writers of drama focus on specific elements. In Hamlet, Shakespeare uses plot, character, setting, staging, and theme to create a well-rounded story. One of the first elements of drama is plot. Considered to be the foundation, plot is the idea in which the setting and characters surround (Mays, 2014). As a stack of dominoes, lined in a row, the plot of a story creates a similar effect. As each domino falls, it enables the rest to follow suit. Plot is comparable, because the events within a story usually lead to the next. The drama, Hamlet, revolves around a prince seeking revenge for his father's death. As the story begins, Hamlet's father has died, and his mother marries her husband's brother, the new king. Soon, Hamlet realizes, after meeting with the spirit of his father, that his dad was murdered. The spirit convinces Hamlet to seek revenge. Pretending to be mad, Hamlet conspires to kill the king. During his scheme, Hamlet pretends to despise his crush, Ophelia, and accidentally kills her father. The death becomes reason to send Hamlet away. As Hamlet travels back to school, Ophelia's brother seeks revenge on Hamlet for his father's death. Hamlet returns and is informed of Ophelia's suicide, along...

...Dulhania Le Jayenge was one of the most successful movies in Indian film history. The 1995 film tells us a story about Raj and Simran, who fall in love and try to win over each other’s disapproving families. Eventually the two have a love marriage and live happily ever after. One supposes this is how a love story would end. However, there are also many movies that have a completely different concept of marriage. Movies like Bandit Queen and Mother India make us realize that marriage does not always lead to an ending where the husband and wife live happily with each other. In the films, we see that the people don’t realize that the woman of the house has equal rights and deserves as much respect as the man of the house. When we think of marriage, we think that a man and woman have fallen in love, or they are brought together by their friends and family, and the couple has approved of each other. However, in rural villages, marriage is more like getting rid of a liability (daughter) and the acquisition of a ‘slave’. As seen in the movie Bandit Queen, Phoolan (Seema Biswas) is ‘given’ to Puttilal (Aditya Srivastava) against her will. We also saw how Phoolan, a little girl of eleven gets raped by her husband. She is thereafter scarred for life. We live in a society where romantic relationships and marriage are seen as primarily about an emotional union between two adults. However, I think that the concept of marriage in rural areas is very anemic and pallid. This may not be true...

...Stephen Frears, utilises the director's imagined memories of the events succeeding Diana's death to portray the Queen, and her actions, in a warmer light. A compelling and challenging view of Diana is also presented in the film, furthering Frears' purpose of convincing the audience of the difficulty of the Queen's position and hence softening the public image of her. Diana is initially presented through a montage of grainy archival footage, where Diana almost seems to be courting and teasing the media with her image. While this archival media footage adds authenticity to Frears' account, it also demonstrates how insulting this behaviour would have been to the rigid policies of the monarchy. Thus as Diana is depicted as causing trouble for the monarchy, sympathy for the Queen's position upon her death is created. This compelling portrayal of Diana, through historical footage, allows Frears to validate his personal memories and in this way the symbiotic nature of history and memory is revealed. insights into Queen Elizabeth II's emotions during the aftermath of Diana's death can be gained through observing the interplay between the collective and personal memories of the event. Frears' imagined interpretation of the Queen's vulnerability challenges the public's collective memory of Diana's death. Frears' perspective is immediately depicted in the opening intertextual quote from Shakespeare's Henry IV: "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown". Sympathy is created as Frears suggests...
