Czar Nicholas Ii Provisional Government

The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917 was
initiated by millions of people who would change
the history of the world as we know it. When Czar
Nicholas II dragged 11 million peasants into World
War I, the Russian people became discouraged with
their injuries and the loss of life they
sustained. The country of Russia was in ruins,

Convey Aboriginal Issues Play Much Of A Role Aborigines
740 words
Before we look at whether James Moloney
effectively uses characterisation to convey
Aboriginal issues we must look at the issues
themselves. In Dougy, the issue of black and white
prejudice is strongly present in the plot. The
stereotyping of Aborigines and white Europeans
play an important role in the events and the
outcome of the story, as is individuality and the
breaking of the stereotypes. The book also touches
on the old Aboriginal superstitions that are still
believed in by some today, th...

Those two items, along with a few decent
paintings, were all that occupied the room, aside
from the boy, of course. Riley was the boy's name.

Ambitions To Commit Evil In Macbeth
638 words
In Shakespeare's play Macbeth, one could argue
that Macbeth is motivated to commit his evil acts
by three forces. For example, the witches in the
play give him the first idea that he will be king.
In addition, his own ambition starts to take over
later in the play. Lastly, Lady Macbeth pushed and
provoked him constantly to commit these evils. So
even though Macbeth committed these acts, there
was more influence then just his ideas. The three
witches in the play are a pretty big influence on
Macb...
