Recommended: Essay for royal family

Royalty is often known for their pride and greed, but some royals go beyond what you would normally expect. Princess Synthia was a prime example of this. Her family was quite large; she was the oldest of the girls yet middle over all. Her younger sister, Mary, stood out as she refused to wear dresses and anything frilly. Instead she chose to wear more prince-like clothes, unless she was forced to wear otherwise. Henry, the oldest, was heir to the throne and fit the stereotype of a humble prince to a T. Synthia was highly jealous of her eldest brother, coveting the throne for herself and everyone knew it. “You three should go and socialize in town.” The Queen urged her children, today they were going to host a ball and she wanted them to personally invite some people in the town. Synthia only rolled her eyes while the other two gave a respectful nod to their mother. She thought it was below her to talk to anyone besides royalty. The princess quietly followed her siblings with her head held high. Only when the trio was outside did she speak, “I don’t see why we must go to town. Why not just send them a letters?” Her question was rhetorical as she quickly continued, “When I’m Queen I’ll-“. “When you’re Queen? You’re not the heir.” Her brother corrected with a stern look. Henry opened his mouth to further scold his sister, but Synthia abruptly turned her back to him and marched off toward the gardens. The frustrated princess huffed and puffed when she was finally alone, thinking it was ridiculous how her brother would be receiving what should have been hers. She sat on a bench when her anger had sufficiently worn her out. With a sigh she dared to break her posture and leaned back against the bench, her blonde locks flowing over t... ... middle of paper ... ...g and huffing at being forced to wear a gown. “Oh Mary you look amazing!” Synthia cooed and embraced her sister, quite the unusual act for her. The younger princess tensed, expecting something cruel but soon relaxed and hugged her sister back. “Thanks sister..” She said a bit uneasily. Synthia just smiled and practically skipped off to find her brother, giving him the same treatment as she did her sister. “I’m so sorry for earlier, brother!” Her apology was quite sincere and Henry smiled, happy to see his sister being more reasonable. She made her way to the entrance to greet the guests s they entered, giving them a warm smile and wave. Only one of them stood out though, a familiar young man walked through the door. Synthia gasped and her face paled slightly, she thought it had only been a dream. The man said nothing but gave the princess a wink as he strode on by.

    In Theophile Gautier's The Beautiful Vampire, he is very subtle in presenting the sins committed.

  • Sinners In The Hand Of An Angry God Analysis

    412 Words  | 1 Pages

    “Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards is probably one the most profound sermons given during the time of the Great Awakening. During this message Edwards uses a very straight attack approach towards the congregation such as “ for most of them destruction came suddenly when they least expected it and they were saying peace and safety but now they see that the themes they trusted to give them peace and give them safety were nothing but thin air and empty shadows, God is holding you over the pit of hell as someone holds a spider or some repulsive insect over a fire and he upholds you and is dreadfully provoked. Oh sinner think seriously about the terrible danger you are in.”, which is a severe attack on one's spirality? There

    Everyone has committed some type of sin, rather it be big or small. Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of The Scarlet Letter, has portrayed many different types of sins throughout his novel that also showed the outcome of various reactions and punishments.

  • Analysis Of The Private Memoirs And Confessions Of A Justified Sinner

    1406 Words  | 3 Pages

    In “The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner”, written by James Hogg, narrative contestation is a large part of the novel, as it is not one singular story, and rather a contest of stories played out in a contest of narrative written by both Robert Wringham and a fictitious Editor . The first section of the book, the ‘Editor’s narrative’, provides a seemingly objective historian’s editorial to the memoirs, whilst the second section of the book, the ‘Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Sinner’ is a biographical account of Robert Wringham’s life. Despite the two sections essentially retelling the same tale, the discrepancies between the two narratives leave the reader constantly unsure exactly what is true, and unable to be certain of the actual events that occured. The Editor concludes in his Editorial that “I account all the rest either dreaming or madness”, which makes the reader question the objectivity of the historian writing the Editorial, whilst Wringham’s memoirs display his continued descent into depravity and madness until such time as he takes his own life, also questioning the validity of his account of events given his deteriorating psyche. The reader has to account for the reliability of the narrator and textual evidence in order to draw a conclusion on whether the contest between the two narratives can be resolved and closure achieved.

  • Lady Catherine De Bourgh Essay

    643 Words  | 2 Pages

    Lady Catherine's rather boastful conversation with Elizabeth suggests she is capable of accomplishing many young people "well placed out". This revels that Lady Catherine believes she has the power and wealth to "engage" a brilliant partner for others and is arrogant of her superiority to do so. Lady Catherine is quite astonished when Elizabeth does not give her a "direct answer" suspecting Elizabeth to be the first "creature", who "dared to trifle" with her and treat her insignificant. Lady Catherine tends to question many if they do not treat her with the superiority she ought to receive being a woman of money, as she believes no one is to show "dignified impertinence" in front of her social standing. Lady Catherine's final act of "relating some anecdote" about herself while she quadrille explains she is self-centered and arrogant; she draws every focus to relate to her social status and prosperity boasting she has better potential and class than others. This suggests her supercilious attribute, for she clearly sees more class in herself than she sees in

    Swami Vivekanando, a teacher of Vedanta philosophy and a famous leader of Hinduism, once said, “You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.” Throughout the history of any people, it is a common belief that there must be a higher power. This higher power is usually referenced in a book and is prized with the creation of the world and mankind. Another common conception with any higher power is the rules set forth for people to follow. For example, the Christian religion has the Ten Commandments, which every person is to follow if he or she would like to be accepted into God’s great kingdom. However, what happens if someone does not follow these rules? In the story, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, a sermon is
