Elizabeth I
King Henry VIII wanted a son. He had been married for seventeen long years and had only been
given a daughter named Mary. Someday one of his children would rule England and it was supposed
to be a boy. Henry decided he wanted a younger wife who could bear many children, so he formed
his own church and re–married Anne Boleyn. This began the life of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was born on Sunday, September 7th 1533 at three o' clock in the afternoon. To the King,
Anne seemed unable to have any more children. She became pregnant three more times after
Elizabeth, only to lose the baby. When Elizabeth was three years old her mother was beheaded for
treason and adultery. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He served Elizabeth for forty years, and when he died at the age of seventy–eight, his son Robert
took his place. Elizabeth planned to return to the Protestant Church of England. She didn't really
care what people believed as long as they attended church every now and then. Elizabeth had many
suitors: Philip II of Spain, Archduke Charles of Austria, Eric XIV of Sweden, the Duke of Alencon,
and many others including some Englishmen. Every one expected her to marry so that there would
be an heir to the throne. Others thought she would marry to have a man to take care of things that
were seen fit for a man. She never said no to the men but she never said yes either. She would only
say "maybe." She did this to gain time, alliances and influence with other countries. As
long as she was single no one could tell her how to run her country. Elizabeth was in love with
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Dudley wasn't important enough to marry a Queen and he already
had a wife. Elizabeth and Dudley were life long friends, and he loved and served her for thirty years.
When Elizabeth was twenty–nine, she became very sick with smallpox. All of her councilors were
very worried and upset. If Elizabeth were to die anyone related to royal family could take over the
throne. That could mean a civil war. When Elizabeth was well they begged her to marry and give
England an heir to

3. Aboriginal People In Canada
History
The first people, or aboriginal people, of Canada consists of the Inuits, Métis, and various groups of
Indians referred to as the First Nations. Although all three groups are considered aboriginal, the very
first people to settle in Canada were the First Nations. They were followed by the Métis, and finally
Inuits. Various pieces of information, such as bones and artifacts, show that the First nations arrived
at Canada right after the last Ice age, which is approximately 12,000 years ago. At that time,
America and Asia were joined by a land bridge, and people were spreading across the world.
Scientists believe that a group of nomadic hunters followed big game from Asia to present day
Alaska. Then, they spread across Canada, and settled. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Canada purchased the middle west from the Hudson's Bay Company, leading to the formation of the
provinces of Manitoba, founded in 1870, Alberta, founded in 1905, and Saskatchewan, also founded
in 1905. At the same time, the provinces of British Columbia (1871) and Prince Edward Island
(1873) joined. In 1885, a railway was constructed, linking the majority of the provinces and
stretching from coast to coast. Canada, officially known as the Dominion of Canada, is divided into
provinces and territories. These provinces and territories include the provinces of Alberta, British
Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and
Prince Edward Island, while the territories consist of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon.
The national anthem of Canada is named "O Canada." It was originally planned as music for a
ceremony in 1880, composed by Calixa Lavallée. Later, the poet Sir Adolphe–Basile Routhier wrote
lyrics, in French. The lyrics were translated in 1906, but a person named Robert Stanley Weir wrote
a different version in 1908. His version became the commonly used version, and has been revised
twice. Shown below are the lyrics for the french, the french translated, and the official

5. Satire As A Satire
Comedy is a fickle medium. It is hard for a comedian to predict how an audience or individuals will
react to a joke. Satire is even more uncertain due the medium's socio–political nature. The purpose
of satire can be misconstrued due to its tendency to obscure or simplify the point it is trying to make
for the sake of a joke. In Mathew Bevis' "Taking Liberties", he argues that individuals with different
world views can interpret a satirical piece in very different ways. In this paper, I shall use the
satirical sketch "A Politically Correct Minute" by the Royal Canadian Air Farce to argue that satire
becomes and ineffective tool in conveying a political message due to Bevis' argument that the
viewer shapes the meaning of the sketch. The creator might have tried to establish a moral high
ground, but it is hard to defend due to the medium being reliant on the viewers sensibilities over the
creator's intent, thus making us unsure if a moral high ground actually exists. The Canadian satirical
comedy troupe, The Royal Canadian Air Farce, released the "A Politically Correct Minute" sketch in
October 2001. This sketch was a reaction to a petition created that year by the feminist organization,
The Famous Five Foundation. The organization called upon the ... Show more content on

Tim Parks says that "if [satire] doesn't point toward positive change, or encourage people to think in
a more enlightened way, it has failed" (Parks 2015). When satire is presented like it is by the Royal
Canadian Air Farce, it has an alienating effect that drives us to disdain politics and people with
opinions that differ from our own (Speltz 2015). Discussion becomes near impossible with satire
providing surface level understanding of political issues, especially if satire becomes a person's sole
source of news (Speltz 2015). Critical thinking and problem solving becomes a moot point.
