Raport Mina vaatasin filmi "King Arthur:Legend of the sword", mis ilmus 2017. aastal. Filmi stsenaristid on Joby Harold ja Guy Ritchie, rezissöör Guy Ritchie. Film hakkab sellega kuidas Arthuri isa Uther Pendragon võidab ühe lahingu, Camelotis oma kuningriigis, oma excaliburi mõõgaga. Tema vend Vortigern on tema peale kade ja alustab tema vastu mässu. Ta teeb kokkuleppe mingite vee naistega, et kui ta tapab oma naise, keda ta armastab, siis ta saab muutuda tugevaks koletiseks. Ta muidugi teeb seda ja siis ta vigastab Utherit aga Uther oli pannud excaliburile loitsu peale, et see kes selle mõõga kivist välja tõmbab on tema poeg, et ikka õige kuningas Cameloti juhiks(Uther ise muutuski selleks kiviks). Arthur kasvas üles prostituutide käe all ja tal oli väga raske lapsepõlv. Uus kuningas Vortigern tahab excaliburi endale siis kogu tema rahvas peab üritama excaliburi kivist välja tõmmata ja nee...
Henry Purcell Henry Purcell sündis aastal 1659 ja oli oma aja parim ning originaalseim helilooja. Kahjuks suri ta noorelt : aastal 1695 ehk 36 aastaselt. Ta sündis musikaalsesse perekonda ja kasvas üles koorilauljana nagu paljud kuulsad heliloojad. Henry Purcelli isa töötas kuninglikus laulukooris nagu Purcell isegi ja laulis seejuures kuningas Charles II kroonimisel. Henry Purcellil oli kolm venda: Edward, Henry ja Daniel, kellest noorim oli samuti helilooja. Pärast oma isa surma 1664 aastal asusid vennad elama oma onu juurde, kes kasvatas neid suure kiindumusega. Räägitakse, et Henry Purcell kirjutas muusikat juba üheksa aastaselt, aga tema varaseim leitud töö on aastast 1670 ja see on ood kuninga sünnipäevaks. Jätkates oma isa traditsiooni töötas ta suurema osa elust õukonnas. Kuni 1680'nendateni töötas ta kuninglikus laulukooris helilooja, orelimängija ja lauljana kus ta hakkas tegema rohkem teoseid teat...

The history of Australia Romet Tagobert The Australians have lived through many wars, revolutions and governmental problems, leaders, but they've only yet to break down. The Aborigines arrived in Australia at about 40,000BC, from which Tasmania was cut off by rising water levels at around 8,000BC. Convicts started being transported to Australia in 1770 which was a disaster for the Aborigines. Captain cook arrived in Botany Bay and claimed Australia for Britain. The 18th century life was hard and even small crimes were severe in Britain. Sometimes prisoners would be sentenced to transportation. After the American War of Independence (17751783) transportation wasn't possible anymore and the government began looking for another place for the transportees which was selected to be Botany Bay. ...

London London is one of the world's great cities. Located in the southeast of England, on the River Thames, it is the capital of the United Kingdom and has been the heart of its political, cultural and business life for centuries. London has always been the centre of the world. The origin of the city may be dated around the beginning of the 1st century when a Celtic tribe settled near the Thames. The Romans founded London about 50 AD. Its name is derived from the Celtic word Londinios, which means `the place of the bold one'. The Romans brought with them forts, roads and the rule of law. Then in 61 AD Queen Boudicca led a rebellion against the Romans. Her army marched on London. No attempt was made to defend London. Boudicca burned London but after her rebellion was crushed it was rebuilt. By the end of the 2nd century, a 6metre stone wall was ...

The Saxons & Vikings Fragmentary knowledge of England in the 5th & 6th centuries comes from the British writer Gildas, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, saints' lives, poetry, archaelogical findings and place- name studies. British landlords ruled small, unstable kingdoms and continued some Roman traditions of governance. In the mid-5th cent, Vertigern, a British leader, hired Germanic mercenaries to help defend against peoples of the north (Picts & Scots). In the end they revolted & the process of invasion and settlement began. The first Saxon ,,kings" were Hengist & Horsa in Kent, Aelle in Sussex, Cerdic / Cynric in Wessex. So the first ,,English" became mainly from Northern Germany & Denmark. The resistance of the Celts was long. They were free at the time, not like other Roman provinces on the Continent. Around 500, the Britons seem to have won several victories. One of their leaders was Ambrosius Aurelianus and one of...
1. Helen Keller was born in a small town called Tuscumbia, Alabama, on an estate called Ivy Green. She was born on 27 July, 1880, and her parents were Kate Adams Keller and Colonel Arthur Keller. At first she could talk and see but on February 1882 when Helen was 19 months old she became extremely ill and lost her ability to hear and see. (Due to a protruding(väljaulatuv) left eye, she was usually photographed in profile.) Both her eyes were replaced in adulthood with glass replicas. 2. Learning was tough for Helen. Because of her deafness and blindness, no one could get through to her, and she could not communicate with others. Basic rules and lessons made no sense to her, and she was called a "wild child." Then, in 1886, her mom heard about the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston from Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. Kate wrote to the head of the Perkins School to ask for a t...
25/11/2012 22:54 The World According to Student Bloopers Richard Lederer St. Paul's School One of the fringe benefits of being an English or History teacher is receiving the occasional jewel of a student blooper in an essay. I have pasted together the following "history" of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eight grade through college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot. The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cul- tivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain. The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam a...
TENNIS Tennis on spordiala, milles võistlevad kaks mängijat (üksikmäng) või kaks võistkonda, kummaski kaks mängijat (paarismäng). Eesmärgiks on reketi abil saata pall vastasmängija poolele nii, et vastane ei saaks seda tõrjuda. Ajalugu Esimest korda mängiti tennist arvatavasti 18. sajandi lõpus. Esimest korda mainiti Inglise spordiajakirjas tennist 29. septembril 1793. Mängu patenteeris major Walter Clopton Wingfield, keda peetakse tennise "isaks" ning kes väitis, et ta leiutas muruväljakutennise oma maamajas Walesis 1874. Olümpiamängude programmi kuulus tennis 1896. aastast 1924. aastani. Taas oli tennis kavas 1984. aastal (näidisalana). Neli aastat hiljem Seoulis oli tennis taas täisväärtuslik olümpiaala. Naiste üksikmäng lisandus olümpiakavva 1900. aastal. Esimene naispaar mängis olümpiamängudel 1920. aastal. Väljak Tenniseväljaku pikkus on 23,77 m ja laius 8,23 m üksikmängu puhu...
KURAARE Referaat Mis on kuraare? Kuraare on mürk, mida Amazonase vihmametsade põliselanikud. Indiaanlased, kasutavad jahipidamiseks. Saaklooma halvamiseks kantakse mürk nooleotstele. Kuraare mõjukemikaal tubokurariin halvab lihased ja võib peatada hingamistegevuse, mis lõppeb surmaga. Kuraare on tänapäeva meditsiinis laialt kasutuses närvihaiguste ravis ja on üks anesteesia (narkoosi ) põhikomponente.

Sissejuhatus Stephen King on tänapäeva üks populaarsemaid ja paremini müüvaid autoreid kogu maailmas. King kombineerib oma lugudes psühholoogilise trilleri elemente, ulmekirjandust, paranormaalseid nähtusi ja detektiivi teemasid. Olles sõltuvuses loetletud elementidest, segab ta sisse eredaid igapäevaseid seiku. Stephen King, kes on peamiselt tuntud oma romaanide järgi, laiendab oma silmapiiri kirjutades filmidele käsikirju, mitteilukirjandust, autobiograafiaid, lasteraamatuid ja lühijutte. Kuigi King on tuntud oma romaanide "The Stand" ja "IT" järgi, on tema parimateks töödeks just lühijutud nagu "The Body" ja "Quitters Inc." Kingi teosed on nii võimsad, sest ta kasutab oma kogemusi ja vaatlusi igapäevaelust. Kingi elulugu Stephen Edwin King sündis 21. septembril 1947ndal aastal Portlandis, Mainis. Stephen, ta ema Nellie ning adopteeritud vend David pi...

1. Beowulf. The dating of Beowulf is still controversial. The poem is one of the earliest and greatest monuments of the Germanic literatures. The main stories of the poem (the fights of B.) are versions of common folk-tales, but the poet also introduces many incidental stories, some of which belong to the world of ancient Germanic legend. He writes his folk-tales and legends in a web of other events, mainly set in the Baltic Kingdoms. He shows a very rich and leisurely portrayal of this Baltic world, providing many customs like the close relationship between lord and man in the war-band and others. All this encouraged the supposition that the unknown author of the poem was himself a bard of the ancient type portrayed within the poem (a lord's scoop). However, many people propose that the author could be Christian poet, perhaps a monk, versed not only in old native traditions, but also in the culture and literatur...

Tallinna Vanalinna Hariduskolleegium Helen Lennuk Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872 1970) Referaat Toomas Abiline Tallinn 2009 Sissejuhatus Bertrand Russell avastas matemaatika üheteistkümne-aastaselt. Ta meenutab, et see oli joovastav kogemus: «pimestav, nagu esimene armastus». Sellest hetkest alates alistus ta oma kirele jäägitu pühendumuse ja lausa erootilise tulisusega. Talle tundus, et matemaatika võib saavutada seda, mida filosoofia polnud suutnud... taandada mõtlemine selle puhtaimale kujule ja vabastada teadmised kahtlustest ja vastuoludest. Nõnda näis Russellile mõnda aega, et matemaatilised uuringud suudavad ühe hoobiga lahendada mõned filosoofia kõige raskemad probleemid. Kuid peagi ...

History exam *Stonehenge - is a monument located in England. It is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world and is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. The surrounding circular, earth bank and ditch, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Stonehenge was produced by a culture with no written language. Many aspects of Stonehenge remain subject to debate. There is little or no direct evidence for the construction techniques used by the Stonehenge builders. *The Celts in Britain and their legacy The Cets lived in Britain in The Iron Age. They were warring tribes who were battleful amongst themselves as well as inter-tribal war. They were not centrally governed. The Celts brought iron working, iron ploughs and metal swords, horses, wheels and chariots - all these things gave them an instant superiority over the native tribes. The Celts built a number ...
