The Impact of Tourism on North York Moors National Park In this study I will investigate the impact of tourism on two honeypot sites in the North York Moors National Park. I will also investigate whether or not tourism in the area is sustainable. Background Information National Parks are areas of beautiful and relatively wild countryside. In 1949 ten national parks were set up by an act of parliament. They were chosen because of their beauty and popularity. There are currently 12 National
The Sources and Representations of the Moor in the Works of Shakespeare One theme consistently reemployed throughout Shakespeare's plays is that of the Other. The Other is usually characterized as a character that is somehow separated, stigmatized, or noted as being different from the mainstream ideal. For the Elizabethan England of Shakespeare's time, it may have been a self-defensive maneuver against the encroachment of something which threatened too close to home (Bartels 450). Bryant lists
Moor; A simple word, in current English it brings to mind an image of ships or sailboats docked in the harbor. For this reason I was slightly confused why it would be assigned to a person, seemingly as a rank or title. However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines moor as “[A] native or inhabitant of ancient Mauretania, a region of North Africa corresponding to parts of present-day Morocco and Algeria” (OED). Knowing the true definition of this term brings forth a whole new angle under which to
parts influenced more by Christianity and the southern by Islam. When the Moors, Islamic followers from Africa came into and conquered many of the previous Christian regimes that had been set up, they brought a new style of art with them. The southern portion of Spain, called Islamic Spain, occupied most of the land from the year 711 until 1492. Southern Spain is also referred to as Òal-AndalusÓ in Arabic. The Moors came to Spain around 711 and interrupted the Visigoths, capturing Cordoba and
Alan Day once said, ‘as a target, nothing matched the Northwest Passage in prestige’, thus the 18th century saw several attempts to continue the search for a northwest passage; the sea linking the North Atlantic Ocean with the North Pacific Ocean. The main reason for these explorations was to strengthen Britain’s trade routes by determining a shorter sea route to the Far East to fulfil Western European consumer demands for products from Asia. Thirty years prior to the decision to resume exploration

interpretation than any other of Shakespeare’s tragedies, it would seem. So insistently did Shakespeare keep this tragedy unified about the theme of jealousy and the central victims of the passion, so obviously did he mould his plot about the black Moor and the cunning Iago and the victims of their jealousy that no interpreter has been able to ignore the obvious intention of the author. Yet if we study the contemporary interpretations of the passion here portrayed, we find that Shakespeare was following
However, during the course of this paper, certain motives for Iago's actions will be discussed. For the first motive to be understood the reader must become knowledgeable of Othello's heritage and the setting of the play. Othello is a Moslem from North Africa. He is living in Venice. He is the leader of the Venetian forces. Anthony Burgess, a Shakespearean critic, believes that Othello's color has nothing to do with Iago's actions. "Othello's color had no connotations of the enslavable
lives in magnificent New York in the Roaring Twenties, where life is all about reaching and living the American Dream of money and status. As for Othello, life in the seventeenth century is about maintaining a good social reputation. Fitzgerald paints a picture of the “American Dream” in the Roaring Twenties and the desperate pursuit of it and he depicts distinct social classes—old money, new money, and no money. Gatsby was raised in an underprivileged family in rural North Dakota but later manages
Two royal families ruled England during most of the fifteenth century. The House of York, whose badge was a white rose, and the House of Lancaster who would later be linked to a red rose. The families were closely related and both had a claim to the throne though Henry IV. This war would last for 30 years and later be named the War of the Roses due to the families association with the roses. There was three phases of the war that almost led to the extinction of English nobility. The first battle

shameful and yet, lead to some of the greatest musical advances of the twentieth century. Slavery in the United States first began in 1619 when Dutch traders seized a captured Spanish slave ship and brought those aboard to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia. When the North American continent was first colonized by Europeans, the vast land proved to be more work than they had anticipated and there was a severe shortage of labor. Land owners needed a solution for cheap and plentiful labor to

Desdemona goes against her father’s will. Her father despises the fact that his daughter is married to a Moor and would not accept their marriage. However, she follows her heart rather than listening to her father. “I am hitherto your daughter. But here’s my husband. And so much duty as my mother showed to you, preferring you before her father, So much I challenge that I may profess due to the Moor my lord” (Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 214-8). She shows a great deal of courage because back in the days, in
