Answer:

False.

Explanation:

It was Geoffrey Chaucer who was the poet of the fourteenth century and who helped in the development of Middle English. Chaucer is also known as the "Father of English Literature". He is considered as the great poet of the fourteenth century or "Age of Chaucer". Chaucer had contributed around two-thousand words in English dictionary. He wrote in English during the time when French and Latin was in much use in literature. His magnum opus "The Canterbury Tales" can be considered that bank.

So, it was not Shakespeare who wrote in the fourteenth century but Chaucer. Shakespeare wrote during the Elizabethan Era starting from 1558-1603.

What line does shakespeare throw in to honor king james

maks197457 [2]

People have often wondered if William Shakespeare had any involvement in the most important writing project of his time, the translation and prepartation of the King James Bible. Although there are no ways to verify this, at least one set of clues indicates Shakespeare probably had some involvement with at least the Old Testament part of the book.

William Shakespeare lived from 1564-1616. The creation of the King James Bible began in the year 1610, the year in which Shakespeare would have been 46 years old.

If you turn to Psalm 46 in the King James Bible, and if you count exactly 46 words into the psalm, you find the word "shake." If you count 46 words back from the end of that psalm, you will find the word "spear."

It just seems too coincidental to think that it was by fluke circumstances that the 46th Psalm would be translated around the time of Shakespeare's 46th birthday and that the 46th word from the start and the 46th word from the end would be "shake" and "spear." My professional opinion is, Shakespeare translated that section of the King James Bible and he slipped in a secret byline to prove it was his work.

Answer:

I'm gonna try. Hope it helps.

Explanation:

I think you should choose the historical figure by yourself, but I'll try to help guide you on the rest.

You should include firstly who you chose the figure. What about the person captured your attention and why do you like them. Did they accomplish something that you admire? The personality contributes to the story however you want it to. If you want the personality as a main character of your own version of the story, you could do that. Fiction is about making the story the way you want it to go. You can play on the freedom there. The plot can be focused on achieving a goal or learning about life, or even finding a lost one. Sorry that last part sounded unhelpful. But really you can make it whatever you want. Feel free to comment on what you don't understand, hope it helped even a little.
