Additionally, the concern about trade routes (Turchin, Adams, & Hall, 2006) could be alleviated by this journey. Constantinople provided a trading route from West to East and traveling along the African coastline may uncover another means of reaching Asia than through Constantinople (Sandrone & Wagner, 2009)
Politically speaking, there has been a change in the powers of the world. With the fall of the Roman Empire's capital Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire, we are in need of a new trade route (Turchin, Adams, & Hall, 2006)
Another key trading route is into Africa. The Sahara Desert poses a massive difficulty in trading by land (Williams, 2005)
Implicit in such sentiment is the fact that there is a political rectitude that he associates with the Christian Church -- one which all of the aforementioned parties have the potential for ruining. He laments the Popes' frequent abuses of "temporal power" (Luther 39) as much as he warns against the invading Turkish heathens
Many critics considered that Boucicault did nothing in favor of Ireland, even with his nationalist plays. "During the Irish Revival at the turn of the 20th century, Boucicault's plays were condemned as the vehicle of the "Stage Irishman," a caricature of the natives of the country that made the Irish the laughing stocks of English audiences, who drew the comforting conclusion that such people were unworthy of self-government" (Cody & Sprinchorn, 181)
Roman Catholics in Ireland were particularly concerned with the fact that they were oppressed by peoples who were Protestant and who were primarily interested in exploiting Irishmen, regardless of the aftermath that their actions had in Ireland. With the Great Irish Famine sweeping across the country, a series of writers chose to express their support toward their country and toward the simple Irish individual by writing several texts with the intention of putting across Irish nationalist ideas and their perspective regarding the true image of an Irishman (Flynn)

Moreover, extra effort should be put in to make the instructor realize that the student has done further research into the topic being discussed in order to retain the audience's attention, by giving him or her some new and different perspective to read. (Quesada, 2007) The Importance of Content The importance of attracting audience attention by adding in a different perspective does not in any way imply that students should neglect content and digress from the topic at end only for the sake of being interesting
This beginning immediately creates the melancholic tone. Another example is the poem "The Oxen" which has been described as a poem where, "The poet looks back regretfully to his boyhood days when he believed in miracles" (Firor 150)
This poem has the themes of how everything changes and the past is lost forever, while also having the sad longing for the past. This poem has been described saying it represents the loss of joy, which is replaced by a "disillusioned maturity, of the doubt and despair of the Victorian age" (Houghton & Stange 783)
Hardy's poems commonly reflect on some aspect of his life or his past and do so with a sadness in them, this sadness bordering on depressive. An example is in the poem "In Tenebris," which begins with the verse: Wintertime nighs; But my bereavement-pain It cannot bring again: Twice no one dies" (Hurford 504)
Hardy's poetry is thought to be the best example of Hardy's own individual style, and for this reason the poetry will be considered as a means of investigating his style. This overall style has been described saying, "His style is rugged, his tone often melancholic, and his humor grim, but his choice of words is magical and his meaning is always clear" (Kamm 201)
Themes Hardy's theme commonly show a longing for the past and a sense of despair at life. As one book describes, Hardy's poems are alike in their "strange, dignified and lyrical descriptions of humankind and our tortured relationships with other forms of life and the environment" (Moore & Moore 182)
One such technique is the use of concept mapping. Concept mapping provides a graphic representation of a student's conceptual understanding of a particular topic (Miller et al
, 2009). Concept mapping has been shown to improve the academic writing of students in a variety of ways including allowing for greater recall or ideas, higher levels of organization and consistency of thoughts, increased length of writing assignments, and improved holistic composition (Ruddell & Boyle, 1989)
