weeds and the want for them to be removed from England’s rule. However, the gardeners also mention King Richard, himself as being a source for Richard’s downfall. In this case, the common man believes that King Richard and his nobles, the Earl of Wiltshire, Bushy, and Greene are all to blame for the bad condition England is in. Bolingbroke is one to pull the weeds from the soil (execute the nobles) and by this, creates a better relationship with his future people by getting rid of what is brining the

Although some of them have done well, we can probably all agree that they’re exceptions and that much more can be done to fully integrate disabled people into everyday life.

Most attempts to define generic skills more closely "have resulted in a plethora of superficially similar but often significantly different lists" (Drummond, Nixon, and Wiltshire 1998, p. 20).
