Look at the following quotation:

Was Milan thrust from Milan, that his issue should become kings of Naples?    (Gonzalo Act5)

Gonzalo means Prospero was once king and it got taken away from him, also he should get given his kingdom back.

Kain Adom???

The Tempest was played before King James on ‘Hallowmas nyght’ (1 November) 1611: this was its first recorded performance. It had another court performance two years later as one of a number of plays laid on as part of the festivities marking the marriage of the Princess Elizabeth to Frederick, the Elector Palatine of Bohemia.

Shakespeare may well have written the play with an indoor playing space in mind because by the time The Tempest was written, the King’s Men had begun to use the indoor Blackfriars Hall as a theatre. This was in addition to their long-established outdoor playhouse, the Globe. Fine costumes, varied music and the appropriate use of props and visual effects are required by this challenging play but the action would have moved forwards swiftly and fluently, unhindered by elaborate scene changes. This was also his last play written.

How does the directer of hotel Rwanda use cinematographic techniques to develop tension in Paul’s ‘Epiphany’  scene?

In hotel Rwanda cinematographic is use many many times in Hotel Rwanda to change the perspective of the viewers view and view that the viewer is watching the film. This makes it much more interesting because it can also be in first person, another word for first person in point of view (POV), first person gets the viewers more involved and it keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats and makes them feel that they are involved in the scene that is on going at this moment in time. Another thing that keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat is the music in the background, this is called sound track. Here are examples of the soundtracks that have been use in the movie hotel Rwandan these sound tracks have been use to show how the character feels without the character saying it. These tunes make the viewer more alert to what is currently happening.

Mr jones: Mr. Jones is modeled on Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918), the last Russian emperor.

The old man began to run away from the slow bus.

The handsome boy sat on the chair and spoke to the beautiful girl.

 school in Reception and year six 

It was kinda hard to walk into the big world but I did it. I felt like a big man and so confident even though I was only 4 and only in my first year of school. As I walked towards the school gate I clutched my mums hand as to say do not let go. I looked at my mum and she looked very worried, she looked down at me and and she brought me close and asked fir a cuddle I cuddled here with all my love, the teacher said all students in and I had to leave but couldn’t, I slowly started to back track and my mum turned and waited until the last minute to to exit the gate. I shouted my mums name and she turnt and i slowly after that said “i love you!”. i ran as fast as i could towards my mum and gave her a kiss good bye.  Mum said back I love you to and burst into tears, I could tell that she was trying to hold it back so i told her i doesn’t matter mum you can cry I cry all the time. i then turned around and made my way into class. I  felt so delighted with myself and I felt like today was going to be a good day.

 It was now break time and they have all the best equipment, its  so much better than nursery but there are loads of big people.

saw the year six’s… I felt like I was going to cry, I looked up and in my mind I thought I was screwed, but the boy ended up being nice he patted me on my head and ask me what my name was, my voice was very shaky as I muttered under my breath Kain. The boy asked me many questions like, do you know were you are

How does Shakespeare uses fate in Romeo and Juliet?

In this essay I will be talking about and explaining how Shakespeare uses fate in Romeo and Juliet and why he uses it  in the ways he does. Shakespeare will speak and use fate many times in the story of Romeo and Juliet while talking about the future in Romeo and Juliet’s lives and what will be the outcome. Shakespeare uses many metaphors to explain fate in this play so it makes you think ahead. Most of the metaphors Shakespeare uses  are nearly all talking about god.

William Shakespeare uses a metaphor to communicate his ideas about fate in many different ways. In an example Romeo asks for God to direct him, here is a quote from the text, “He that hath steerage of my course, direct my sail”. Shakespeare describes Romeo as a ship and God as the captain of the ship. Romeo is letting God control the path he follows and what it leads to because Romeo has strong faith in god and he believes that god will lead him down the right path.

Another metaphor that Shakespeare uses to exposes his idea of fate is “some consequences yet hanging in the stars” Shakespeare uses this because he is trying to explain that Romeo has bad things to come in his life, this is called fate. Back in those days the stars were like kings and people looked to the stars to ask for help, so Shakespear used that as an advantage insted of telling you straight away in normaul language what he means. Romeo also knows that somethinig bad will happen but he still lets God guide him.

“Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents’ strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love,
And the continuance of their parents’ rage,
Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend”. Shakespeare uses this at the begginning of the play to give you a ruff idea on whats going to happen in the play and to adress that it might not end well for both famillys. It also says two members of each family will die and peace will end up relaxing between both familys. This paragraph also says that both familys are both alike, (two househoulds both alike in in dignity) that is a quote from the text. As we go further on in the story all the things that was explained in the prolouge paragraph happens and it gets worse. This is called fate/destiny because all the thing that were assumed to happen happened.

Another way that Shakespear exposses fate in the play Romeo and Juliet is by making Romeo recive a letter that might or would have saved the love stricken couples lives and relationship if the life saving letter had arrived to Romeo sooner than it did.          Had they received the letter sooner it would have saved their familys from pure sadness and heart ache.

Fate played a big part in Romeo and Juliet actually meeting in the first place, because in the scene Romeo came across a man who could not read a party list, so he asked Romeo to assist him with  reading it as he could not read or write since he had not learnt as a child because he came from a less wealthy family, but while he was helping the man to read the party list he saw his true love Rosaline’s name on the list. If it wasn’t for fate this man would not of come to Romeo for help because he might of been able to read with no help on reading the list and Romeo would not of found out about the party, and that Rosaline was on the guest list, which ment that Romeo would not of met his true love.

To conclude my essay on “how Shakespear uses fate in Romeo and Juliet” i feel that shakespear uses fate very well in the play and in all the right times. He also makes you think ahead and look back to link the two ideas he is talking about, just like when i read the prolouge and then reconised the things that were said there happend later on in the play.I feel that the one thing we all have in commen is that we all share the same fate… We WILL all die in the end. shakespear uses this as an advantage and gets Romeo and Juliet killed at a very young  age and called it fate.
