Sir Richard Steele (bap.

12 March 1672 1 September 1729) was an Irish writer, playwright, and

politician, remembered as co-founder, with his friend Joseph Addison, of the magazine The Tatler.

works
Steele's first published work, The Christian Hero (1701), attempted to point out the differences
between perceived and actual masculinity. Written while Steele served in the army, it expressed his
idea of a pamphlet of moral instruction. The Christian Hero was ultimately ridiculed for what some
thought was hypocrisy because Steele did not necessarily follow his own preaching. He was
criticized[by whom?] for publishing a booklet about morals when he himself enjoyed drinking, occasional
dueling, and debauchery around town.
Steele wrote a comedy that same year titled The Funeral. This play met with wide success and was
performed at Drury Lane, bringing him to the attention of the King and the Whig party. Next, Steele
wrote The Lying Lover, one of the first sentimental comedies, but a failure on stage. In 1705, Steele
wrote The Tender Husband with contributions from Addison's, and later that year wrote the prologue
to The Mistake, by John Vanbrugh, also an important member of the Whig Kit-Kat Club with Addison
and Steele.

Publications
The Tatler, Steele's first journal, first came out on 12 April 1709, and appeared three times a week:
on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Steele wrote this periodical under the pseudonym Isaac
Bickerstaff and gave Bickerstaff an entire, fully developed personality.
Steele described his motive in writing The Tatler as "to expose the false arts of life, to pull off the
disguises of cunning, vanity, and affectation, and to recommend a general simplicity in our dress, our
discourse, and our behavior".[citation needed] Steele founded the magazine, and although he and Addison
collaborated, Steele wrote the majority of the essays; Steele wrote roughly 188 of the 271 total and
Addison 42, with 36 representing the pair's collaborative works. While Addison contributed to The
Tatler, it is widely regarded[by whom?]as Steele's work.
The Tatler was closed down to avoid the complications of running a Whig publication that had come
under Tory attack.[7] Addison and Steele then founded The Spectator in 1711 and also
the Guardian in 1713

In literature
Steele plays a minor role in the novel The History of Henry Esmond by William Makepeace
Thackeray. It is during his time with the Life Guards, where he is mostly referred to as Dick the
Scholar and makes mention of his friend "Joe Addison." Thackeray depicts Steele in glowing terms
as a warm, generous, talented mentor who befriends the title character in his youth and remains
loyal to him for years despite their political differences.

Politics
Steele became a Whig Member of Parliament in 1713, for Stockbridge.[3] He was soon expelled for
issuing a pamphlet in favour of the Hanoverian succession. When George I of Great Britain came to
the throne in the following year, Steele was knighted and given responsibility for the Theatre Royal,
Drury Lane, London. He returned to parliament in 1715, for Boroughbridge.[4]
While at Drury Lane, Steele wrote and directed the sentimental comedy The Conscious Lovers,
which was an immediate hit. However, he fell out with Addison and with the administration over the
Peerage Bill (1719), and in 1724 he retired to his wife's homeland of Wales, where he spent the
remainder of his life.[5]
Steele was a member of the Kit-Kat Club. Both Steele and Addison became closely associated with
Child's Coffee-house in St Paul's Churchyard.[6]

Later life
Steele remained in Carmarthen after his wife Mary's death, and was buried there, at St Peter's
Church. During restoration of the church in 2000, his skull was discovered in a lead casket, having
previously been accidentally disinterred during the 1870s

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, CBE, FRSL (/tlkin/;[a] 3 January 1892 2 September 1973) was an
English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor who is best known as the author of the
classic high-fantasy works The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion.
He served as the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon and Fellow of Pembroke
College, Oxford, from 1925 to 1945 and Merton Professor of English Language and Literature and
Fellow of Merton College, Oxford from 1945 to 1959.[1] He was at one time a close friend
of C. S. Lewisthey were both members of the informal literary discussion group known as
the Inklings. Tolkien was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by
Queen Elizabeth II on 28 March 1972.
After Tolkien's death, his son Christopher published a series of works based on his father's
extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts, including The Silmarillion. These, together with The
Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, form a connected body of tales, poems, fictional histories,
invented languages, and literary essays about a fantasy world called Arda and Middle-earth[b]within
it. Between 1951 and 1955, Tolkien applied the term legendarium to the larger part of these
writings.[2]
While many other authors had published works of fantasy before Tolkien,[3] the great success of The
Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings led directly to a popular resurgence of the genre. This has caused
Tolkien to be popularly identified as the "father" of modern fantasy literature[4][5]or, more precisely,
of high fantasy.[6] In 2008, The Times ranked him sixth on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers
since 1945".[7] Forbes ranked him the 5th top-earning "dead celebrity" in 2009.[8]

In what was once North America, the Capitol of Panem maintains its hold on its 12 districts by forcing
them each to select a boy and a girl, called Tributes, to compete in a nationally televised event called the
Hunger Games. Every citizen must watch as the youths fight to the death until only one remains. District

sharp instincts, in an arena where she must weigh survival against love.

Bayang magiliw
Perlas ng silanganan
Alab ng puso
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay

Lupang Hinirang
Duyan ka nang magiting
Sa manlulupig
Di ka pasisiil

Sa Dagat at bundok sa simoy

At sa langit mo'y bughaw
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y tagumpay na nagniningning
Ang bituin at araw niya'y kailanpama'y di magdidilim

Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati't pagsinta

Buhay ay langit sa piling mo
Aming ligaya nang pag
May mang-aapi
Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo
