Palace of Westminster

8:00 am After a long tube ride I got to Hampton Court palace around early morning. It was Henry VIII’s palace on the thames river. He built it in 1520, and it has famous history from his reign. You will be able to see a replica of his crown, the gardens and the royal chapel. There is a copy of the kitchens from the 15 hundreds. I was so exquisitely excited to see the beautiful gardens

William Blake and William Wordsworth both write about London in their poems. “Composed Upon Westminster bridge” and “London” both portray London differently during the industrial revolution. Blake writes about the negative aspects of London while Wordsworth on the other hand writes about the positive aspects of London. Although these poems portray London differently, they do so by the use of similar methods. The methods they use to portray London are exaggeration, use of the five senses, and personification

What was the era of 1550-1625 like in England? Elizabethan Age The Elizabethan Age (1558- 1603) is an epoch in English history, remembered as a renaissance of classical ideals, international expansion and naval triumph of the Spanish (which at the time were disliked and considered a rival kingdom). This generated a great wave of English nationalism. The era is marked by the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558–1603), and is often hailed as the "Golden Age of England".

Queen Elizabeth II was born and raised in England and as a young child showed leadership qualities.

She has ruled longer than any other monarch in British history. EARLY LIFE     Elizabeth was born in England on April 21, 1926.

If I were given the chance to go on my own Odyssey to three different places the decision would be a difficult one. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to travel and explore various places across the world. If I had to make the choice of three places to visit on my Odyssey those three places would be London, England; Venice, Italy; and Zakynthos Island, Greece. I would initially depart from Detroit, Michigan. My first flight would take me to a place that has always been at the top of my list:

criticize the Victorian values which the Machine embodies. The White Sphinx, a statue the Time Traveler encounters when he travels the future, serves as symbol of the decay and death of the Victorian ideals. The Time Traveler’s description of the Palace of Green Porcelain, a symbol Victorian extravagance, suggests that the Victorian ideal will fail because of its indulgence and superficiality. In The Time Machine, H. G. Wells uses the symbolism of environments in order to convey his criticism of

England. What is the first word you think of when you hear, England? You may think of their history and its effect. Another thought that could be is London. London is the capital and heart of England that has its own history. Throughout history England has contributed so much, good and bad. With that contribution England is one of the well most known country that is known for poise, history, and tradition. English history began in 500,000 BC with a boxgrove man from West Sussex. He was the first

Sixteenth century England was a time of laws and religion. Both relied heavily on each other. As the churches grew and Queen Elizabeth came into power, laws were often made to specifically protect the church. Crimes such as blasphemy and treason could be punishable by death or torture. Treason is the crime of trying to betray a country, usually by trying to overthrow the current state of the government or other systems, such as the power of the church. This is a crime that no one was exempt from
