#AStory

The author, like many, is writing a fictitious story, but ties in many elements of his own life while making up many of the other parts. Because of this, it is a supernal poem, while also having ties in reality.

#HenryVIII
Another thing that was done well was connecting the theme of Lucifer to the fall of Cardinal Wolsey, as they were both in good positions but fell from power and became angry and frustrated.

#HenryVIII
William Shakespeare used literary elements four hundred years ago better than most writers today. His ability to craft a tone that so precisely matches historical events is swell

#MoCStation
The poem is definitely about God, as part of the poem is almost directly paraphrased from the beginning of John's Gospel. God is referred to as He, and is the main character of the poem. He is everything and nothing.

@PatrioticPluto2 Finding out the secrets of history using knowledge from today would be pretty cool. It almost sounds like it could be a TV show. #HelloXHS

@savoialouis14 It would be like watching a movie over again, not the most fun thing to do but still pretty cool. #HelloXHS

If I could go back in time, I would travel back to before the Beatles split up so that I could see them in concert as a band. #helloXHS

@Anthonybutta911 It would be a perfect match if only you were 200 pounds heavier and black. #HelloXHS

@ccherubini_xhs Chris and Chris. Together at last. #HelloXHS

#helloXHS A movie about my life would definetly be a comedy, but knowing my luck, my part would be cast as Steve Buscemi

@akapsalisXHS @timmayrosexhs The 🐨 is pretty good but you cant forget about these boys: 🐵🙈🙉🙊🐒

Led Zeppelin is the best band because their mix of rock and blues allowed them to create great music. With 9 studio albums and some live albums, they have forever secured their place as my favorite band and the favorite band of millions around the world #helloXHS

#XHSMLK
By using powerful imagery to describe social injustice in America, MLK, in his "I Have a Dream Speech", he is able to relate to everyone how awful and backwards racial injustice is in a country like the United States.

@xhsmrgiugliano
Historians can be bland, and when they try to make history more interesting, it strays from the truth. That is why anecdotes - personal and morally challenging stories - are more relevant and exciting for people to read.

#BuyNothing
Buy nothing day helps people learn and understand our impact on the economy and the environment as consumers, leading us to make better and more necessary purchases.

[Ian Markey @IEMARKEY]

#BuyNothing
In the fast paced world we live in, something is bound to go wrong for everyone at some point. How would it feel if you had an issue and every store was closed and you had to rely on only things you own? Buy nothing day is a good idea on paper but not in real life.

#Apmonument
The builders decided to make a Zen garden near a highway, so it was an attempt to bring peace and calm to the Botanical gardens.

[Ian Markey @IEMARKEY]

#Apmonument
The builders knew it would be near water and so they probably used copper to get it's unique patina and color

#Apmonument
This monument was placed in the cemetery much later, and so the builders had to research America's history to make it fit.

#apmonument
A monument needs to affect the people around where it is built. Xaverian lost people to 9/11 so it is relevant to xaverian.
