 books i have read in 2021 5 languages of love by Gary chapman  anxiety in relationship by Melanie white  5 languages of love by Gary chapman  An overview of the book and the fives things that helped me.  1. Physical contact is one of the simplest love languages since it doesn’t require any words.  People who prefer this language enjoy touch, hugs.  They feel comforted in the arms of others or by holding hands. Youngsters, when this is one of their predominating love languages, feel comforted by being held or carried. They enjoy massages or sitting in people’s laps. 2.  words of affirmation  This group includes people who need words of affection and compliments.  They get happiness from hearing nice words and motivation from a well-written verse. This way of expressing love includes love letters. If one of your love languages is words of affirmation, you like to encourage people with your speech.  3.  Taking time out of our day for the people we love is a way of expressing what we feel

Jesus among the doctors

  Jesus Among the Doctors 1506 Oil on panel.  64.3 x 80.3 cm Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid Inv. no.  134  ( 1934.38 )     information about the artwork  Dürer was the leading representative of German Renaissance art, and a key advocate of new ideas in Northern Europe. This panel was executed in Venice, during his second visit to Italy—where he was hailed as a consummate artist—and it has been identified as the painting referred to in a letter from Dürer to his friend Willibald Pirckheimer, the Nuremberg humanist. In its use of half-length figures and the arrangement of heads around a focal point formed by the child’s face and hands, the composition clearly echoes contemporary Italian painting. Thus, the German artist skilfully blends the two Renaissance worlds of Northern Europe and Italy. The panel is dated and signed with Dürer’s anagram on the slip of paper protruding from the book in the foreground. Jesus Among the Doctors - Dürer, Albrecht. Museo Nacional Thyssen-Born

Figaro

Image
  The betrayal of Susan         Figaro is the protagonist of the play. He is a young man engaged to be married to Susan, a woman whom he loves very much. He has a checkered history in that he does not know his family or his parents, and is often getting into trouble, but he always seems to come out on top. He is the count's majordomo and valet, and the two have a long relationship; Figaro was key in enabling the count to marry Rosina. Figaro seems to have a special aptitude for coming up with plans that are often complicated and convoluted and usually involve pulling the wool over the eyes of the count. Figaro is a good-hearted and decent man, but he experiences his share of unchecked emotions as well. When he believes that Susan is having an affair with the Count, he becomes melancholic and angry, going on a long tirade against the aristocracy and ruling classes. In his soliloquy, he observes that the count is ordinary but elevated because of his title, whereas Figaro is anything

Rulers of England

Image
    Henry VII of England  ruled as king from 1485 to 1509 CE. Henry, representing the Lancaster cause during the  Wars of the Roses  (1455-1487 CE), defeated and killed his predecessor the Yorkist king  Richard III of England  (r. 1483-1485 CE) at the  Battle of Bosworth  in 1485 CE. Known as Henry of Richmond or Henry Tudor before he was crowned, Henry VII was the first Tudor king. Despite having to deal with three pretenders to his throne and two minor rebellions, Henry's reign was largely peaceful and prosperous as, like a master auditor, he steadily increased the health of the state's finances. The king died of ill health in April 1509 CE and was succeeded by his eldest surviving son,  Henry VIII of England  (r. 1509-1547. Henry was born on 28 January 1457 CE in Pembroke Castle, the son of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond (l. 1430-1456 CE). Henry was the grandson of the Welsh courtier   Owen Tudor   (c. 1400-1461 CE) and Catherine of Valois (l. 1401 - c. 1437 CE), the daughte

hamlet

Image
  The play begins on a cold night with the changing of the guard. King Hamlet has died, and his brother Claudius has taken the throne. However, for the past two nights, the guards (Francisco and Bernardo) have seen a restless ghost resembling the old king wandering the castle grounds. They inform Hamlet’s friend Horatio of what they've seen. The next morning, the wedding of Claudius and Gertrude, the wife of the late king, takes place. When the room clears, Hamlet soliloquizes on his disgust at their union, which he views as a betrayal of his father at best and, at worst, incest. Horatio and the guards enter and tell Hamlet to meet the ghost that night. Meanwhile, Laertes, the son of the king's advisor Polonius, is getting ready for school. He says goodbye to his sister Ophelia, who is romantically interested in Hamlet. Polonius enters and lectures Laertes extensively on how to behave at school. Both father and son then warn Ophelia about Hamlet; in response, Ophelia promises t
