Hamlet

Hamlet is a tragedy that belongs to the mature phase of Shakespeare's literary production. The sources can be traced back to Scandinavian oral tradition. The main themes are revenge, death and madness. The plot is very complicated with a lot of characters. I think that this tragedy is very interesting, even if it is an old work it contains quite contemporary themes. The most famous soliloquy, to be or not to be, I believe that it expresses the essence of human desperation in the hardest moments of existence. Among Shakespeare's work I prefer Hamlet because I like that Hamlet is patient and he waits for the right moment to act. 

Sutton Hoo

Sutton Hoo is the site of two cemeteries. One contained a ship burial, including a wealth of Anglo-Saxon artefacts, most of which are in the British Museum of London. The site is in the care of the National Trust. Sutton Hoo is important to early medieval historians because it sheds light on a period of English history that is the margin between myth, legend and historical documentation. The ship burial is one of the most magnificent archaeological finds in England for its size and completeness. although it is the ship burial that commands the greatest attention from the tourists, two separate cemeteries also have rich historical meaning because of their position in reletion to the Deben estuary and the North Sea.

the origin of tattoo

We can find an example of tattoo in the Neolithic, in fact the first tattoo were found on a mummy, but tattoos were born in Polynesia and the word tattoo came from "Tatau" that was the typical Polynesian tattoo. Tattoos were used to decorate body and to scare enemies. I like tattoo but not the big ones because I think that they are disgusting, I love little tattoo because I think that with tattoo you can express your identity so I'd like to have one.

Figo is a dog for blind people. In 2014 a blind lady and the dog went out for a walk but when the lady was crossing the road a school bus was investing her but the dog saved her, pushing her away. In this way the dog was wounded in her place, but he didn't care until he saw her mistress safe.

 

Legend of Gelert

Many years ago in a castle there was a prince. He loved hunting and his favorite hunting dog was called "Gelert". The prince had a wife, but she died when his son was born, and the prince promised to his wife to protect the baby. One day he was preparing yo go out hunting and when he called his dog he discovered that he was disappeared so he decided to go alone. He went to  his son's room and left him in the cradle and he went hunting. When hi came back home, he went in the baby's room and he found a lot of blood and the cradle was upside down and the dog came out behind the cradle and he was full of blood, so the prince thought that Gelert had killed his son and he decided to kill him. Later he heard the baby that was crying and when he saw behind the cradle he found the baby and a dead wolf. When he found the baby he understood that the dog saved his baby from the wolf. The legend says that the prince never smiled again and he decided to put the body of the dog outside the castle, near the river, and on the grave is written "BeddGelert". 

Pancake Day

Pancake day Pancake Day is the traditional day of celebration that precedes the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent, the 40 days before Easter is traditionally a time of fasting. It is a day in February or March which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. It's probably impossible to know when the tradition starts. Some suggests that pancake day was originally a pagan holiday. Ancient Slavs believed that the change of the season was a fight between Jarillo, the god of vegetation, and the evils spirits of cold and darkness. People believed that they had to help their god so they start making a eating pancakes. They believed that by eating pancakes the got the power and warmth of sun. The first pancake usually was put on the window for the spirits, while the last day all pancakes were brunt in a bonfire as a sacrifie to the pagan gods.
