The Three Kings. The reason why because it talks about the birth of christ and how the magi came to give him gifts when he was born and just how special it was when he was born by the Virgin Mary. I think you should go check it out.

ahhhh   KING LEAR!!!  it's hard to explain actually because this isn't a soliloquy.  it's what he says to kent and the "fool" after leaving the company of his two daughters (regan and goneral) during an arguement they had.  he's telling the other two to go into this "shelter" if you can call it that, to sheild themselves from the storm (the tempest, "tempest" in shakespears day meant storm).  of course it was violent storm that night.  the night the king lost his "glory" and in a manner of speaking the gods unleashed their fury!  it was so bad that it distracted his mind.  the storm represents what he felt in his heart.  the part where he tells the "boy" to go in first and calls him houseless poverty is just a juxtapose.  the will pray then he'll sleep which is pretty straight forward.  you really have to watch the play to understand.

I always thought this was an allegory pointing to the rise of agriculture and civilization. Prior to this, they were hunters and gatherers. Maybe more gatherers than hunters. With the rise of civilization comes all these extra tabboos and fashions.

its a habit. hundreds of years ago they needed the king to protect them from people trying to steal their land and cattle. now? its important to play polo and cause the death of the best thing that ever happened to that dysfunctional family.

Not many horses, not many wives, not much wealth.\n\nKing Solomon completely mucked this up: 1 Kings 10-11\n-1,400 chariots, 12,000 horses\n-700 wives (usually for political reasons), 300 concubines\n-25 tons of gold PER YEAR\n\n\nNo, it doesn't say one wife. It says a king should not acquire a large number of wives or a large number of horses or a lot of money. He was supposed to write himself a copy of the law (and read it!).\n\nI guess the main point is many wives would be a distraction to the king from his devotion to the LORD. Also, in the ancient middle east the kings wives were considered a type of wealth, so I guess you could associate it with the money and horses (also of military importance). God didn't want the king to be self-relient (on military and wealth and power), but relient on Him.\n\nOT references to monogamy are pretty vague, however Adam, Abraham (sort of), and Moses (who wrote down these instructions for kingly conduct) had only one wife. God did not create many wives for Adam. Only one. His original plan was that a man and woman should become as if one body (Genesis 2:24).\n\nThe first record of polygamy Genesis 4:19 Lamech is an outsider, a decendent of Cain, who considered God would bless him for murdering young folks! This practice spread around, but was never considered good.

"At last he heard from along the road at the foot of the hill the clatter of a horse's galloping hoofs. It must be the coming of orders. He bent forward, scarce breathing. The exciting clickety-click, as it grew louder and louder, seemed to be beating upon his soul. Presently a horseman with jangling equipment drew rein before the colonel of the regiment. The two held a short, sharp-worded conversation. The men in the foremost ranks craned their necks. \n\nAs the horseman wheeled his animal and galloped away he turned to shout over his shoulder, "Don't forget that box of cigars!" The colonel mumbled in reply. The youth wondered what a box of cigars had to do with war."\n\n\n\nI'm not really certain what this refers to. Perhaps it shows that the horseman is more optomistic than Henry. The horseman is thinking ahead to after the battle when he can relax. I never studied "The Red Badge..." in school but I read it years ago.\n\nDoes "the cigar box" appear later on in the book?

I read that book last year. The king and the duke were scam artists. They met up with Huck and Jim somewhere along the way on his trip. They weren't really a king and a duke. They just pretended to be.

You're on to something here. I'm starting to think that the Trojan war was over oil, too. How else could they get that big Horse into Troy?

Not sure that all horse-lovers would agree with this statement as most, in my experience, love donkeys as well as horses.\n\nI do understand your point and think its because there is still a social difference attached to the ownership of horses as opposed to donkeys.\n\nHorses conveyed (and still do) some kind of social standing once they were used for more than just working (eg. racing, riding, hunting, etc), whereas the poor old donkey has never made past being just a worker (other than on the beaches of Britain).\n\nCan't think it has anything to do with "reproduction problems" as you suggest, as this is very similar to that of the horse (see the link below). It may be that you mean that breeding a horse is far more controlled (and consequently expensive) than for a donkey.\n\nI love them both.

I've never been one to be great at the weird math questions or riddle questions like this but here's what I think: All humans have one head and all horses have one head. Therefore, no matter how many legs you have since some humans and horses are amputees, you have 35 horses and 35 humans. Everyone has one head but not everyone has both legs or even one leg. I hope this helps!

You have to be specific about the part you're not understanding. The most important part of this scene is Hal's soliloquy at the very end. It's written in blank verse showing us that Hal is capable of kingly qualities. (In the entire play, the royalty etc. talk in blank verse while the tavern people talk in prose. Hal had also been talking in prose with his friends right before this soliloquy). The soliloquy shows us his Machiavellian traits - he's capable of manipulation and knows exactly what he wants to achieve by hanging out with Falstaff etc. In the soliloquy, he also uses metaphors like sun and clouds which further show us that he is capable of becoming the king. I can give further explanations if you tell me what exactly you are having trouble with.

because in older days. the knights, which belonged mainly to England and the u.k, had swords on their left as most of them were right handed men. and if someone challenged them to a fight at the time they were on the road, it was easier to pull out the sword with their right hand if the scabbard was in the left. also during the medieval ages, their was something like the cast system.so the nobles rode on their left and the peasants on their right of the road.\nbut in the u.s the people who travelled on the roads were mainly those who transported stuff in the big waggons driven by a team of horses, with the best horse on the left as that made it easier for the other 5 horses to pull. so the owner sat on the left of the waggon in the front, and they found that it was easier to travel on the right of the road so that they pass face to face with the other waggon owners. This is why people travel on the left of the road in th U.k and The commonwealth and on the left in th U.S.

You jackass. the verse (8:68) refers to distribution of spoils of war. Now, anymore FAKE KORANIC VERSES I NEED TO READ?\n\nWho's the one embarrased now?\n\nEDIT:I want to make it clear. This verse is not taken out of the context because IT WAS NEVER IN THE CONTEXT!! It's fictitious.
