Shakespeare wrote many plays that were based on existing works. For example, Macbeth, King Lear, Henry IV, Richard II all draw f

rom Raphael Holinshed’s historical work, Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus, and Timon of Athens draw from Plutarch’s Lives, a series of biographies about famous individuals and their virtues. What did these sources provide to Shakespeare?

Answer: These sources provided Shakespeare primarily with historical information. Moreover, Shakespeare borrowed ideas for the plot from them, and focused on some of the historical figures in his own work.

Explanation:

Not all of Shakespeare's ideas are his own. Sometimes, Shakespeare found inspiration in other sources that he used. This is mainly true for his history plays - plays that are named after monarchs that ruled during a certain time period. <em>Holinshed's Chronicles</em> is believed to have been his primary source for history plays - <em>Henry IV</em> (part I and II),<em> Henry V, Henry VI</em> (all three parts), <em>Henry VIII, Richard II, Richard III</em>, but also for <em>King Lear</em>, <em>Cymbeline</em> and <em>Macbeth</em>. Shakespeare incorporated many Roman figures in his work, such as Julius Caesar, Antony, Cleopatra, etc. While doing so, he mainly relied on <em>Plutarch's</em> work, a text called <em>Parallel Lives</em> that consists of 40 biographies of Greek and Roman leaders.

The 1st Marine division, fighting its way back from the chosin reservoir in December 1950, was embattled amid the snows from the moment the column struck its camp at hagaru.

"Like how regiments pass along for all time." Our tradition is influenced by each individual Marine, recruit and officer candidate training, "every Marine a rifleman," and our maritime character. They distinguish us from other fighting forces, serve as the Marine Corps unifying force, and give Marines a shared perspective that transcends their rank, affiliation, or billet.

The Marine Corps core values, beliefs, and standards are complex sets of self-image. These values and standards define our Corps. We are unusual elsewhere in our altruistic devotion to the elevation of the institution above self.

Answer:

Which type of change—political, social, or economic—had the most impact on Southern life? The economic change on the south was the most impactful on the south because the southerners had to adapt the most due to the change. They also hated people of color and found new ways to show racism. They had to find new ways to work and new ways to go about their daily life.

Which type of change—political, social, or economic—faced the most challenges? Why were Southerners against this type of change? Their most challenging type of change was social. The southerners were affected most by this change as they relied on slaves the most. They needed people to run their farms to make them money. They also didn't like colored people and would have to change how they treated people of color. They still ended up finding ways to be racists by building specific things for a specific race.

For the first hundred years of the United States, only white males were able to vote. Since then, amendments to the Constitution have made it so that any citizen aged 18 or older can vote. Which amendments granted different groups the right to vote? Why were amendments needed to expand voting rights? The amendments 15, 19, 23, 24, and 25 were granted to give any citizens the right to vote. These amendments were needed in order to move on to the next era of the American country. Also white males were very racist against anyone who wasn't white as they believed they deserved all the power because of the color of their skin.
