hello,
I would go back to 69 BC, Egypt
Cleopatra is arguably the most fascinating woman who has ever lived. The Pharaoh is so captivating that at least 2000 years after her death, there are nearly 200 films, TV movies and documentaries and almost 4000 books written about her.
Contrary to the popular belief that Cleopatra was merely a seductress (a tactic she used sometimes), it was her political prowess that lifted her status to legendary. She used her femininity and brilliant tactics to maintain her own political power during some of the most dangerous and complicated times the world has ever seen.
Cleopatra was a brilliant, curious, and highly educated child who spoke at least 6 languages (some scholars say 9) and was allowed to sit in on political meetings with her father. She was only 18-years-old in 51 BC when her father died and left. Egypt to her to co-rule with her 10-year-old brother. However, the Ptolemaic (Cleo’s family) empire was unstable and Cleopatra was living in exile in Syria and could not claim her throne. Meanwhile, Julius Caesar made a grand entrance into Egypt to protect Rome's main economic interest: the agricultural wealth of the Nile Valley. Egypt was financially indebted to Rome and Cleopatra was raised watching Roman power render her father’s authority impotent. She hatched a scheme to sneak herself into the palace rolled up in a carpet for an audience with Caesar with the awareness that his diplomatic intervention could help her regain her throne. When Cleopatra tumbled out of an unfurled carpet in front of the 52-year-old general, she made a profound impression that was the beginning of a powerful relationship. Caesar fell madly in love with the courageous Egyptian Queen and Cleopatra gave birth to a son, Caesarion, securing her future as a partner with the Roman Empire. Caesar shocked his country when he erected a golden statue of Cleopatra in the middle of Rome. With his help Cleopatra became the sole Queen and Pharaoh ruling Egypt.
When Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, Cleopatra wasted no time in finding a new partner in Roman general Mark Antony. Cleopatra fought fiercely to keep Octavian, Caesar's heir and Antony's rival, from conquering Egypt. Gender traditions did not restrict Cleopatra’s ferocious battle to save Egypt. She was the first woman to take a fleet to sea and on horseback into battlefield. When the Romans set fire to her beloved library, the Great Library of Alexandria, Cleopatra locked herself within the palace walls. Mark Anthony, gravely wounded in battle, returned to the palace to die in her arms. Her final act in her stupendous life was inciting an asp, a poisonous snake, to bite her. Shakespeare described her death vividly in his play Antony and Cleopatra.
I would love to be in her time & witness it all first hand - her seductive prowess, intelligence, mannerisms, likability, politics & using people to reach her goal.
Hello I'm writing a story and I would like your opinion on it!
“Gale! Is Gale here today students?” I ran into class, the rain was pouring and I was drenched. Every speckle was so very small, delicate, and clear. I always admired the rain, to me it was a sign but I had not known of what. I sat down on my chair, as the floors got wet and I left a trail of water behind me. I did not realize that I had made the floors wet and that my jacket was cold and saturated. As I take my jacket off and put it in the cubby’s that were placed by Arnold Peter, he gives me a gaze, then grabs me by the collar of my jacket that I had already taken half off and slams me to the floor.
I looked up to see his face and then I met his eyes, they looked cold and pitiful. “Gale! How dare you come to my class late and then pick a fight. You have the nerve.” It was Mrs. Walter, she sent me to the principal's office and told me to see her during lunch to mop the wet floor. The principal threatened me with his offer of calling my parents, I didn’t know what to say to him, so I just stood there blank. He then called me a disgrace and told me to be ashamed of myself.
During lunch I sit alone and the other kids giggle away, I even hear them talk about me. I didn’t have anything to eat and my parents didn’t pay for my lunch. I guess I didn’t mind starving, I was already used to these things and it has always been like this for the past 15 years of my life. I am interrupted from my daydreaming when Mrs. Walter takes me to her class and I start mopping the wet floor. She told me that I needed to fix my attitude and how my grades were suffering. It wasn’t even my fault that the other kids liked to tease me. But then again, I was used to it. As the wet floors got dry, I noticed something.
The water looked like it was shining, every speckle, glimmered. The lunch bell rings and I rush to my next class, I was hungry and wet from the morning rain so I didn’t care much about the fascination the water brought to me. The last bell rings and I run home. The rain poured but I found comfort in it. I looked down at the bakery that was owned by Emma Walterson, my neighbor.
She is a 45 year old woman who always cared about me and asked questions. Sometimes she even took me to her house and let me play in her sons consoles. I don’t think he liked me that much. I don’t look where I am going and get lost in my thoughts. Suddenly, the rain pours harder.
Kids were running as their parents pulled up an umbrella. Some had friends that shared their umbrellas with them. Some didn’t have one but they enjoyed the company they got from their friends. Then in a flash there was no one there. I guess they had all rushed home and I was just standing there.
I started to run, faster and faster but it was like time had frozen. I look around to see the rain, it wasn’t falling the trees in the distant were put, not moving. As I turn my head around trying to understand what was happening, the ground starts to shake. I tried pinching myself thinking I was having a bad dream. It wasn’t a dream. Three oddly looking shapes appear in front of me. About 6 feet tall, rectangular and lustrous, it wasn’t alive and it wasn’t moving. It was an object and as I looked closer each of them had a symbol.
The first symbol was a droplet of water. The second was a swirl, like the wind. And the third was a hand that held up a flower. I touch each symbol. The first symbol felt like real water as if I was standing there feeling water with my hands.
The second symbol, the snowflake felt like it was ice which was no surprise. The third symbol, I couldn’t feel. It was just the atmosphere. I then have a urge to fall into a slumber. I stumbled upon and lay down on to the ground. My long skyy black hair fell in front of my eyes and my skin became pale. My bright blue eyes closed.
That moment I was alone, tried, and starving. No one was there to help me, to carry me, to give me a hand, to lend a shoulder that I could lean on. I was alone, scared, and I didn’t know where I was and what was happening to me. I wished for a new start to my so-called life.

what is a narrative. i would like to know the answer
Answer:
A narrative is a spoken or written account of connected events. Example if you are telling a story about what you did yesterday, you are narrating (or giving a narrative) of your day yesterday.
Explanation:
Answer:
Narrative Definition
Narrative is a report of related events presented to listeners or readers, in words arranged in a logical sequence. A story is taken as a synonym of narrative. A narrative, or story, is told by a narrator who may be a direct part of that experience, and he or she often shares the experience as a first-person narrator. Sometimes he or she may only observe the events as a third-person narrator, and gives his or her summation.
History of Narration or Storytelling
Storytelling is an essential part of human nature. Man is the only creature that tells stories, and we have been telling stories and listening to them since the time we learned to speak. Storytelling began with oral traditions, and in such forms as myths, legends, fables, anecdotes, and ballads. These were told and retold, passed down from generation to generation, and they shared the knowledge and wisdom of early people.
The basic theme of various forms of story-telling were fear of natural forces, deeds of heroes, gods and goddesses, and to teach life lessons from others’ experiences. Biblical stories have the primary purpose of teaching spirituality. Most biblical stories were performed in churches to convey spiritual messages to the masses.

They're all surprised how a turtle could sit so calmly. One of their mates stood up and went there to the turtle and began to talk to it. After getting no reply, he got angry and started shouting. They're so eager to talk to it that they forgot that it was an artificial one and their entire team urged us to give it to them. Listening to their request, Sophie's mother agreed.

In what ways does Austen portray the family and community as responsible for its members
Answer:
Though Pride and Prejudice is largely a story about individuality, Austen portrays the family unit as primarily responsible for the intellectual and moral education of children. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's failure to provide a proper education for their daughters leads to Lydia's utter foolishness
Explanation:
hope this helps tell me if you need me to explain a bit further.
Austen portrays a society that closely restricts mental and physical space, particularly for women, who are allowed little solitude or independence.
What impact did Jane Austen have on society?Jane Austen's books, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and North anger Abbey, had the greatest impact on upper-middle class attitudes about education, and her writings inspired many people to think about education, particularly English education, in creative ways.
Though Pride and Prejudice is essentially a novel about individualism, Austen presents the family unit as the primary source of children's intellectual and moral instruction. Lydia's folly is the result of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's failure to provide a decent education for their children.
Therefore, it can be concluded that Austen depicts a society that severely limits mental and physical space, especially for women, who have little alone or freedom.

At this point in the play, Romeo and Juliet's dead bodies have been discovered
and the Prince has just read the letter Romeo wrote to his father.
Starting with the extract, explain how Shakespeare presents responsibility and blame in Romeo and
Juliet.
Write about:
-how Shakespeare presents responsibility and blame in the extract
-how Shakespeare presents responsibility and blame in the play as a whole
Prince: This letter doth make good the friar's words -
Their course of love, the tidings of her death.
And here he writes that he did buy a poison
Of a poor 'pothecary, and therewithal
Came to this vault to die and lie with Juliet.
Where be these enemies? Capulet! Montague!
See what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love;
And I, for winking at your discords too,
Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished
Capulet: O brother Montague, give me thy hand.
This is my daughter's jointure, for no more
Can I demand
Montague: But I can give thee more
For I will ray her statue in pure gold,
That while Verona by that name is known,
There shall no figure at such rate be set
As that of true and faithful Juliet.
Capulet: As rich shall Romeo's by his lady's lie;
Poor sacrifices of our enmity.
Prince: A glooming peace this morning with it brings,
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head
Go hence to have more talk of these sad things
Some shall be pardoned, and some punished.
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo
[Exit)
Answer:
Shakespeare presents the blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet as a result of the hatred between the two families.
Explanation:
In this work we can observe the death of two young people who loved each other very much, and because they could not be together, a tragedy occurred that ended their lives.
The hatred of both families is reflected from the beginning of the play, and although Romeo and Juliet did not feel that hatred and if it were up to them they would end it just to be together, their environment led to it not being so.
We know that Romeo did not seek war, but that nevertheless he was involved in an altercation that ended his exile.
This led to a plan being formed where Juliet would fake her death to be with him, but eventually both end up ending their lives.
The blame is definitely the hatred that older people had in their lives and that they could not solve.
Read these excerpts from Fever 1793 and The Summer of the Pestilence. Fiction: Fever 1793 He picked up a broadsheet and read: On the advice from the College of Physicians: 1. All persons should avoid those that are infected. 2. The homes of the sick should be marked. 3. Sick people should be placed in the center of large airy rooms without curtains and should be kept clean. 4. We must supply a hospital for the poor. 5. All bell tolling should cease immediately. 6. The dead should be buried privately.
