Life’S Brief Candle
William Shakespeare was an English playwright and poet born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. He wrote 37 plays and 154 poems, most famously for the Globe Theatre. The excerpt is from Shakespeare's play Macbeth and is a soliloquy by the character Macbeth where he reflects on the brevity and meaninglessness of life after the death of his wife Lady Macbeth.
The road not taken
The document summarizes two poems - "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost and "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsworth.
In Frost's poem, the narrator comes to a crossroads where he must choose between two paths, one well-worn and the other grassy and less traveled. He chooses the latter but realizes he cannot travel both, so he will save the other path for another day.
Wordsworth's poem describes seeing a young Scottish girl reaping alone in a field while singing. Her beautiful singing fills the valley and is sweeter than that of birds. Though the poet does not understand her language, her endless song and its echoes stay with him for a long time
Mcmxiv and nostalgia
The poem explores the theme of nostalgia experienced by mercenary soldiers away from their mountain homes. In vivid detail, the first two stanzas describe the soldiers' physical and emotional suffering as they long for the high altitudes, familiar tastes, smells, and sounds of their homeland. Leaving came with "a sweet pain in the heart" and hurt to hear the "music of home" summoning them back. The final stanza depicts the changed reality upon one soldier's return, finding the same streets but everything different, reflecting how nostalgia transforms perceptions of place and past. Overall, the poem elicits sympathy for how wartime service forces soldiers to grapple with displacement and loss of innocence about home.

End of the french revolution and napoleon’s world
The French Revolution descended into chaos and the Reign of Terror under Robespierre, who was later executed. A new constitution removed voting rights for many and created an unstable executive branch. Napoleon rose to power as a military genius, overthrowing the Directory and becoming Emperor of France, concentrating power that had been fought for in the Revolution.
American and french revolution2
The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement in the 1700s where thinkers focused on applying reason to understand nature and its natural laws. They believed that everything, including human behavior and social constructs, were governed by discoverable natural laws. Thinkers like Newton showed natural laws could be understood through science and reason. Enlightenment philosophes like Voltaire and Diderot spread these ideas through publications, criticizing the church, government, and traditions. They believed understanding natural laws was key to social progress.
American and french revolution
The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement in the 1700s where people focused on nature and natural laws. Thinkers believed that everything had a cause and effect relationship and that humans were part of the natural world governed by discoverable rules. Isaac Newton's laws of physics inspired the desire to understand rules across nature. Rationalism held that truth could only be achieved through reason. Enlightenment thinkers, called philosophes, spread ideas through publishing, most notably the Encyclopedia, which criticized the church, government, and other institutions. While some faced imprisonment, their ideas spread and influenced revolutions.

The document provides examples to illustrate each perspective.
Middle ages part 2
After the fall of Charlemagne's empire, feudalism emerged as the dominant political system in Western Europe. Feudalism was based on the reciprocal relationship between lords and vassals, where lords would grant land to vassals in exchange for loyalty and military service. By the mid-1000s, most of Western Europe was organized around feudal relationships, with kings acting as supreme lords and lesser nobles serving as vassals and granting parts of their fiefs to their own knights. This system helped smaller territories maintain control and protection more effectively than a large empire in the unstable context of Viking invasions and internal conflicts.
Middle ages part 1
The Franks, led by King Clovis, came to dominate Northern Gaul in the 5th century. Clovis converted to Christianity, gaining the support of the Catholic Church. His successors founded the Merovingian dynasty. Over time, real power shifted to the Mayor of the Palace position, held by the Carolingians. Pepin the Short became the first Carolingian king in 751. His son Charlemagne expanded the Frankish kingdom into a vast empire encompassing much of Western Europe through conquest and alliance. After his death, internal divisions and Viking invasions contributed to the decline of his Carolingian Empire.
Southern gothic
Southern Gothic writers like William Faulkner, Truman Capote and Flannery O'Connor set dark and bizarre stories in rural American settings, drawing from Gothic fiction traditions but addressing the darkness within society. William Faulkner is particularly influential as he used the fictional Yoknapatawpha county in Mississippi as the setting for many of his stories featuring colorful and peculiar characters, often employing nonlinear flashbacks that blend past, present and future. Faulkner is credited with inspiring magical realism, exemplified by Gabriel Garcia Marquez's highly acclaimed novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.

American gothic 1
The Gothic genre originated with Horace Walpole's 1765 book "The Castle of Otranto", which was very popular and spawned many imitators. Gothic works often featured bizarre or dark plots involving madness, insanity, and the supernatural. This tradition continues today in works like those of Neil Gaiman and Tim Burton that draw from Gothic literature. In 19th century America, Gothic elements were prominent in the works of authors like Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Washington Irving.
Islam part 3
Early Islam experienced division over succession and interpretation of the Quran. Abu Bakr succeeded Muhammad and expanded Islam's influence, followed by Umar. Uthman's assassination led to a war between Ali's supporters and Muawiyah's supporters. Muawiyah took power after Ali's assassination, establishing the Sunni sect, while Ali's descendants formed the Shiite sect. Sufism later emerged as a mystical movement. Despite political divisions, Muslim civilization advanced science and knowledge, adopting Greek, Roman and Asian ideas and making major contributions to fields like geography, medicine and mathematics. European exposure to Muslim advances came through conquests in Spain and interactions during the Crusades.
Islam part 2
Islam teaches that God revealed the Quran as a guide for humanity. Muslims, like Jews, memorize and recite the Quran in its original Arabic language to preserve its purity. The five pillars of Islam are the profession of faith, daily prayers, alms for the poor, fasting during Ramadan, and pilgrimage to Mecca if possible. Muslims are forbidden from eating pork or having more than four wives, and are encouraged to free slaves and treat them well. The mosque is the place of worship for Muslims, led by religious scholars called Imams rather than priests.
Islam part 1
This document summarizes the rise of Islam in Arabia. It details the life of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who received revelations from God and taught monotheism. After facing persecution in Mecca, Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina, where he became the political and religious leader. Muhammad's followers, called Muslims, began converting more tribes to Islam and raiding caravans traveling to Mecca. By 632 when Muhammad died, much of Arabia had accepted Islam as its dominant faith.
Influence
Citizens have limited direct participation in government once they vote, but can engage in indirect participation by influencing lawmakers. While some founders wanted representatives to act independently, others believe citizens should be able to influence elected officials to ensure they act according to public desires. Political parties also influence lawmakers by supporting loyal members and threatening to withhold funds from disloyal officials. The presidential veto is another tool citizens can use to influence legislation.
Roman empire
The Gracchi brothers, Tiberius and Gaius, tried to reform the Roman Republic in the 2nd century BCE by implementing land reform measures and aid for poor citizens, but both were opposed by the senate and murdered. Marius reformed the army, removing the land requirement and making soldiers loyal to their commanders instead of Rome. This led to civil war as Sulla marched on Rome and ruled as dictator from 82 to 79 BCE. Julius Caesar allied with Pompey and Crassus in the First Triumvirate and became consul in 59 BCE, going on to conquer Gaul. However, Pompey grew jealous and convinced the senate to order Caesar back without his army, leading to civil war

Gothic works often featured bizarre or dark plots involving madness, insanity, and the supernatural. This tradition continues today in works like those of Neil Gaiman and Tim Burton that draw from Gothic literature. The term "Gothic" comes from Gothic architecture of the Middle Ages characterized by irregular shapes, grotesques, and lack of symmetry. Romanticism explored imagination and dreams while Gothic literature explored the darker side including nightmares, individual evil, and horrors hidden in nature. Major American Gothic writers included Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Washington
Govt
A citizen is someone who gives loyalty to their government in exchange for protection. Loyalty means obeying laws, paying taxes, and assisting in national defense. Citizens are also expected to participate in their republic by voting and engaging in political discourse. Citizens have certain rights guaranteed by the constitution, though some rights can be revoked if a citizen is convicted of a crime through a fair trial process. The United States has a two-party system, with citizens typically aligning with either the Democratic or Republican party when participating in the political process and elections.
Verse
This document discusses free verse and the techniques used by Romantic poets like Walt Whitman. It notes that free verse lacks regular meter and rhyme but uses other techniques like repetition, parallelism, and catalogs to achieve musicality. It provides examples of these techniques from Whitman's poetry, such as his use of anaphora, repetition of words and phrases, and catalogs listing people and things. These techniques helped create rhythm and cadence without strict meter.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
