World War I

history of the British Isles – a regicidal dictator to some historians and a hero of liberty to others. Paragraph 1 I think Oliver Cromwell is a hero, because he did some great things : . He substantially won the Civil War, when the rest of the Parliamentary commanders would have lost it. . He set up the New Model Army which has to be one of the best armies the world has ever known - merciless and motivated fighters. .

Teacher : Mr REDFERN At the time of European construction, the eternal hostility between France and England seems outdated. Yet the position of the two best enemies competing again during the last World Cup rugby is debatable.

Similarly, Add Sex and Stir depicts the manipulation of truth to increase ratings. Irony is employed through the juxtapositioning of Brian’s initial rejection of Brooke’s story (on the premise that women’s sports stories are unpopular) and his revelation

Tolstoy's War with Love by David Laskin Leo Tolstoy waited until he was 34 years old to marry, but once he had settled on 17-year-old Sofia Behrs, "Sonya," as his bride, he saw that events moved very quickly. At his insistence, but a single week elapsed between his proposal and their wedding on September 23, 1862 -- and in the course of that week Tolstoy asked, really required, his fiancée to read the intimate diaries he had kept for much of his life. Sonya, the middle daughter of the Tsar's
