yes, the boxers do deserve the bad rap that was given to them because of all of the damages they instigated that all sourced from xenophobia. While no form of diplomacy between these two powers happened it shows how the Chinese didn’t want a peaceful solution as supported when the Emporer exiled his attendant that came to a successful solution.

I am writing about The Bishops Heir by Kathrine Kurtz.

kelson Haldane died yesterday due to suicide. The cause of death of Kelson Haldane was suicide. King Kelson Haldane, was a young, wise, bold and finally broken king. Kelson was the son of the Deryni a race that held super natural humans who could use the power of magic. The year was during the middle ages and the power of the church and fanatical belief in gods were still very proonet.

He took up the throne when we was just 16 years old and had lead his country well the first year putting down the rebellion of Edmond loris (Ex-Archbishop) when he had started out. King Kelson was very young and has died at the age of 17. He was taught politics by his father as he had such an easy transition into power while others would have a hard time going into power.

He was wise beyond his years because of his many exploits in the war of his short rule. He learned of politics from an early age from his father because he has a very easy transition between from prince to king. He wasn’t overly arrogant or flaunted his power and was more conserved which shows in very experienced kings and nobles

He was very bold as he stood strong against many a foe and pushed back the pressure that came with him not being wed. he is forced into a political marriage but still goes against the wishes of his council by only doing it if Sidana agrees to it and hopes with all his life that someday it would be love. Showing his boldness he still refused to listen to most advice or threats to him.

He was broken, he was driven to suicide by the death of his bride that died between his arms while he lay their silently weeping he was soon deprived of his sleep then his sanity to save himself he spoke the one phrase that would kill himself and it did. Soon after archbishop loris made his move against the kingdom he took control and provided even more power to the church.

Overall he lived a full life of his short seventeen years through his many accomplishments and his undying compassion, boldness and his wisdom. sadly his funeral will be a private affair as such we are not allowed to attend but we will all remember him in heart.

This poem was created using the words from William W. Jacob’s “The Monkeys Paw” short story. The concept of my poem is how characterization and how they change throughout this story. The first line of my poem ‘Mr. white a guilty smile’ is supposed to show how he is content with his life now and needs nothing. I chose ‘Herbert concentrating on the chess board’ to show he is a normal person who is enjoying his time with his parents playing chess. This line is one of the most important lines in my poem because of the major contrast created later. ‘Mrs. White, a white-haired old lady sat knitting by the fire.’ This finishes my attempt to simulate a classic household where the old woman is knitting by the fire giving her a normal demeanor. Back to the idea of a normal household inferred in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s where the family is by the fire enjoying themselves. ‘EVERYTHING WENT WRONG’ this is the line I want to put the most emphasis on because it is the twist of this poem. This is the start of the contrast between the normal and the irregular. The line ‘Mr. white cried’ is the exact opposite of his smile in the first line showing the change no matter how good or bad it is. ‘Mrs. White went mad’ this is talking about how she turned from this average old lady becomes this insane old coot who was lost her mind because of the monkey’s paw. ‘Herbert ten days dead’ the only reason to add this is that of the contrast and add the effect of suspense and horror. Finally, why I placed my words in the way that I did was to add emphasis on the line ‘EVERTHING WENT WRONG’ using the lines and making it the center of attention. I chose the monkeys paw with the blue background to show that on the outside it looks like a god’s blessing but really, it’s a curse. I chose the contradicting colors of red and white because they are the very contradicting colors and show how white is normal and red is a disorder.
