It is a very popular tourist site in Ireland, tourists all over the world come to watch the gardens around the castle and kiss the stone. Origins The owners of Blarney Catle have several theories of the origins of the stone. The stories include one theory that the stone was presented to Cormac McCarthy in 1314 for his support in the Battle of Bannockburn. In this legend the stone was a piece of the Stone of Scone, but modern analysis don´t confirm it. Legend Cormac McCarthy, the builder of Blarney Castle who was included in a case.

talk to the monster. The story ends with the monster sailing away on an ice shelf. I really enjoyed reading this book because I adore horror movies and ghost books. It was deep, touching, sad and exciting. I believe that Mary Shelley tried to show that we should not judge people by their appearance and that we should look in the person's character deeper. The society should be more tolerant and kind. Luckily nowadays this is not such a big problem as it used to be. I liked the eloquent writing style and the authors' ability to put real emotions into the story. It made me feel empathic sometimes for Victor and sometimes for the monster. The book illustrates the good and evil qualities of its main characters and shows how weak and frightened people can be. I do think that this story will remain popular because it has inspired many other books and movies and therefore it's theme remains relevant. Conclusion
Cathedral, which was perhaps appropriate because she states that she likes to think that she was "converted by St Paul". § In 2006 Weldon was appointed Professor of Creative Writing at Brunel University in West London. She has said: "A great writer needs a certain personality and a natural talent for language, but there is a great deal that can be taught how to put words together quickly and efficiently to make a point, how to be graceful and eloquent, how to convey emotion, how to build up tension, and how to create alternative worlds." § During her marriage to Ron Weldon, the couple visited therapists regularly. They divorced in 1994, after he left her for his astrological therapist who had told him that the couple's astrological signs were incompatible. § She subsequently married Nick Fox, a poet who is also her manager, with whom she currently lives in Dorset. She has four sons, three stepsons and six grandchildren.
stating, "no face and form ever impressed me with such sentiments (the hatred of slavery) as did those of William Lloyd Garrison." Garrison was likewise impressed with Douglass, and mentioned him in the 'Liberator'. Several days later, Douglass gave his first speech at the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society's annual convention in Nantucket. Twenty-three years old at the time, Douglass later said that his legs were shaking. He conquered his nervousness and gave an eloquent speech about his rough life as a slave. In 1843, Douglass participated in the American Anti-Slavery Society's Hundred Conventions project, a six month tour of meeting halls throughout the east and middle west of the United States. He participated in the Seneca Falls Convention, the birthplace of the American feminist movement, and was a signatory of its Declaration of Sentiments. Douglass later became the publisher of a series of newspapers: North Star, Frederick
hasty, slightly caricatured, albeit pertinent touches, there is one exemplary character whose biography is more consistently embedded in Hoffman's narrative: Pavel is a self-made man who speaks in `precise, eloquent English'. He is a former communist who gradually and painfully understood `the discrepancy between ideals and reality' (1999, p. 285). His interesting and instructive story could well be expanded so as to form in itself a full-fledged novel of communism indictment, providing yet another
as if you would drive me into a toil? GUILDENSTERN O, my lord, if my duty be too bold, my love is too unmannerly. HAMLET I do not well understand that. Will you play upon this pipe? GUILDENSTERN My lord, I cannot. HAMLET I pray you. GUILDENSTERN Believe me, I cannot. HAMLET I do beseech you. GUILDENSTERN I know no touch of it, my lord. HAMLET 'Tis as easy as lying: govern these ventages with your lingers and thumb, give it breath with your mouth, and it will discourse most eloquent music. Look you, these are the stops. 110 GUILDENSTERN But these cannot I command to any utterance of harmony; I have not the skill. HAMLET Why, look you now, how unworthy a thing you make of me! You would play upon me; you would seem to know my stops; you would pluck out the heart of my mystery; you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass: and there is much music, excellent voice, in this little organ; yet cannot
Chapter 14 During dinner, Mr. Bennet scarcely spoke at all; but when the servants were withdrawn, he thought it time to have some conversation with his guest, and therefore started a subject in which he expected him to shine, by observing that he seemed very fortunate in his patroness. Lady Catherine de Bourgh's attention to his wishes, and consideration for his comfort, appeared very remarkable. Mr. Bennet could not have chosen better. Mr. Collins was eloquent in her praise. The subject elevated him to more than usual solemnity of manner, and with a most important aspect he protested that "he had never in his life witnessed such behaviour in a person of rank--such affability and condescension, as he had himself experienced from Lady Catherine. She had been graciously pleased to approve of both of the discourses which he had already had the honour of preaching before her. She
the victims of that year's earthquakes in Mexico City. It is both a personal bane and a professional blessing that whenever I am confused by some aspect of human behavior, I feel driven to investigate further. In this instance, I was able to track down a fuller account of the story. Fortu- nately, a journalist who had been as bewildered as I by the Ethiopians' actions had asked for an explanation. The answer he received offered eloquent valida- tion of the reciprocity rule: Despite the enormous needs prevailing in Ethiopia, the money was being sent to Mexico because, in 1935, Mexico had sent aid to Ethiopia when it was invaded by Italy ("Ethiopian Red Cross," 1985). So informed, I remained awed, but I was no longer puzzled. The need to reciprocate had tran- scended great cultural differences, long distances, acute famine, many years, and immediate self-interest
the Disney company, as a story consultant for the Feature Animation division at the time The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast were being conceived. Campbell's ideas were of tremendous value as I researched and developed stories based on fairy tales, mythology, science fiction, comic books, and historical adventure.

H e was still a striking man in his eighties, tall, vigorous, eloquent, funny, full of energy and enthusiasm, and utterly charming. Just before his passing, he told me, "Stick with this stuff. It'll take you a long way." I recently discovered that for some time the "Practical G u i d e " has been required reading for Disney development executives. D a i l y requests for it, as well as countless letters and calls from novelists, screenwriters, producers, writers, and actors, indicate that the Hero's Journey ideas are being used and developed more
Wilson, who three months before had said that it would be a "crime against civilization" to lead the nation into war, decided that "the right is more precious than peace" and went up to Capitol Hill on April 2 to ask Congress to help make the world safe for democracy. He cited the Zimmermann telegram in his address: "That it [the German government] means to stir up enemies against us at our very doors, the intercepted note to the German minister at Mexico City is eloquent evidence. We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose. ... I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the Imperial German Government to be in fact nothing less than war against the government and people of the United States, that it formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it." The Congress did. Soon the Yanks were coming. The fresh strength of the young nation poured into the trenches of the Western Front to rescue the exhausted Allies
■ SPEAK ON YOUR FEET I have worked with countless executives who have taken my advice and joined Toastmasters International or taken a course from the Dale Carnegie organization. Within six months, they tell me that they are completely different people. From being shy and self-effacing at meetings and in presentations, they be- come calm, confident, bold, and even eloquent in expressing their points on their feet with other people. And their careers take off as well. When you can speak on your feet, you appear to be smarter and more competent than a person who cannot. Many executives, both men and women, have seen their careers take off, their incomes in- crease, and their responsibilities expand as they faced their fears by
