Answer:
The Victorian Era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from 1837 to 1901. The Victorian women was seen as belonging to the domestic sphere, and had very limited privileges. The Lady of Shalott is a beautiful poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, written around 1833.
This particular text describes an abstract idea of the thoughts that a Victorian woman could conceive, in the same way that the Lady of Shalott could.
She enjoys her solitary world, even though she expresses a deep frustration about this 'world of shadows' around her. Let's remeber that during the Victorian era, women had very limited privileges and a small participation in society. This could have been her 'world of shadows'.
Ideally, this text would describe how Lord Tennyson perceived society in his era and he used the Lady of Shalott to reflect these thoughts and perceptions.

Answer:
The Birth of Food Culture
Everybody has to eat. It’s obvious, right? And eating has been a large part of every human enterprise in existence. (Clearly the Magna Carta was not written on an empty stomach and World War II was not won by a starving army.) So it might surprise you that humans have only really thought critically about food in the last couple centuries.

Answer:
The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
Everyone has faced obstacles of some kind: a struggle with health, a failed personal project, or a financial hardship. This prompt is relevant to most people applying to college – which isn’t a bad thing.
The most important part of writing a personal statement is to show admissions committees how you think about the world and respond to challenges rather than to come up with an entirely new angle or topic. That being said, you probably should not write about a time that you received a bad grade or lost a sports game. Those narratives are overdone and won’t allow admissions officers to get insight into your unique perspective.
What colleges want to see is your ability to be mature, resilient, and thoughtful; they want evidence that you are able to handle the independence and challenges of college. Show the admissions committee how you faced an obstacle, but responded with a creative and dignified solution instead of giving up. Be vulnerable – show your insecurity, regret, and fears. Finally, as indicated in the prompt, describe what you learned and the experience’s permanent significance. If you can’t think of such an impact, you probably shouldn’t be writing your personal statement about the situation. Remember, your personal statement is like your introduction – make sure you’re telling them an important story!
The linearity of this prompt allows you to follow a pretty straightforward outline for your essay: context, obstacle, reaction, result. Putting these parts together, you’ll have a well constructed personal essay! We outlined the basic questions that should be answered in response to this prompt by component (context, obstacle, reaction, and result), but these are fluid and may be placed in whatever section makes the most sense for your narrative.
