Princess Dianas Death
Her Death Was No Accident Diana, Princess of Wales, was not always a princess. She was born Diana Spencer on July 1, 1961 and became Lady Diana Spencer after her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer in 1975. She was born near Sandringham, England. Her father was Edward John Spencer and her mother was Frances Ruth Burke Roche. The two divorced. Diana’s father won custody over her and her siblings. Although she was known for her shy ways, she did show an interest in dancing and music. She moved from Switzerland to London and eventually became a kindergarten teacher at the Young England School. Diana Spencer married the heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, on July 29, 1981. Diana was no stranger to the British Royal family. She played with Prince Andrew and Prince Edward as a child while her family rented an estate owned by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1977 she became reacquainted with Prince Charles, their older brother who was thirteen years older than her. The two married July 29, 1981 but the two together were an odd couple—garden loving, reserved prince and a woman who was with an interest in pop culture and fashion. They had two sons together Prince William Arthur Philip Louis and Prince Henry Charles Alfred David. The two divorced in 1992 because they became so alienated over the years. Diana devoted herself to charitable use of land mines and a stir was caused due to her romantic interest with Dodi al Fayed, an Egyptian film producer and playboy, who also happened to be the son of Mohamed Fayed. Not too much later, on August 30, 1977. Diana Princess of Wales and Dodi al Fayed were in a car accident leaving them two and the driver to reside dead and the body guard with serious injuries. Paparazzi were blamed for the accident but conspiracies have arisen to either confirm or deny it. Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi al Fayed were murdered on the night of August 30, 1977 by Henry Paul, hired by the collaboration of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip,

    Jfk Assassination Kennedy's Wife

    On the day November 22, 1963 I was waiting in the streets of Dallas, Texas. I remember I was on Main Street at Daley Plaza in Dallas. I had been waiting there for almost two hours and I had the best spot to see Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy roll down the street waving to the crowd. I knew that Kennedy was coming to Texas because we were a major state that he had to win in order to have a good chance of re-election. In those two hours I heard that Kennedy was giving a speech outside of his hotel in Fort Worth and that he was going to take a plane and be arriving shortly. All I remember seeing right before the Kennedys arrived was that there were thousands of people in the streets just waiting to get a glimpse of the president. I also remember people…

    Princess Diana In Chaim Potok's The Chosen

    “Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” (Princess Diana) Princess Diana who was the princess of England in the 1990s states that we should do good for others without expecting anything out of it. Random acts of kindness are the best ways to show others that we care. In doing something kind someone might recognize what has been done and could return the favor. In The Chosen by Chaim Potok one of the main characters David Malter explains to his son Reuven that “great men are always difficult to understand” in reference to Rabbi Reb Saunders because Reuven didn’t understand how Reb can be soft and gentle at one moment and angry the next. Princess Diana was not difficult to understand because she just wanted to do good for others with the wealth and high-class position she acquired.…

    Why Was Addie Bundren's Death Tragedy?

    Was Addie Bundren's death tragic? She concurred with her father that "the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time." For her personal self, her death was freedom; freedom from a life of toil, a shiftless husband, and children she did not love (except for, of course, her Jewel). In this light, her death was a blessing. However, her death is tragic in that it acts as a violent catalyst in the family, speeding up events that were probably inevitable; in death, Addie is far more powerful than she ever was in life. Her death is also a catalyst in that it put each family member's foibles into sharp relief. Though their fates may have not taken the exact character they did, gentle Darl and agreeable Cash were guaranteed to be sacrificed…

    Jfk Assassination

    November 22, 1963 is considered one of the darkest days in the history of the United States. Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas was the setting for one of the most horrific moments ever captured on video, in what has become one of the most controversial topics in US history. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy has raised many theories about what exactly happened that day in the fall of 1963. Many wonder if the lone gunmen theory published by The Warren Commission is the truth, or better yet was even possible? Other questions such as why was certain evidence overlooked and in the case of the President’s limousine and clothing, why were they washed and repaired before the proper investigation could be performed on them? Many books have been written on the subject of the JFK assassination, and I in fact would have to end up writing a book just to mention and discuss all of them. Simply to avoid that, I chose to discuss only a few topics and give my own two cents on what could have been done better to investigate the assassination of the 35th President of the United States. I first want to focus on the mishandling of critical evidence that many experts say would easily answer certain questions. For example the mishandling of evidence that might have proven that there was more than one shooter, and where exactly the shots came from. Second, I want to look at how that evidence would have helped in answering those questions and how they may have directed us towards a guilty suspect or suspects. I have heard investigators say that you only get one shot at a crime scene, and once it is gone, you never get a second chance to redo it over ever again. It’s important to keep that in mind as regards to the JFK assassination because the lack of proper…

    JFK Assassination

    The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the most debated topics in American History. JFK was one of the best presidents that the United States has had. Unlike other assassinations, the JFK assassination is one that filled the conspiracy theories. There are a lot of different conspiracies out there that are thought to be true. Some have to do with the government and some with the mafia and Cuban President Fidel Castro. I think that the idea of a lone assassination, including just Lee Harvey Oswald, is too simple. I think it had to have been a conspiracy. I think there is simply no way that Lee Harvey Oswald did all of that by himself. There is a lot of conspiracy theories that are clearly not true but there is also a couple that make a lot of sense and could easily be true. So I am on the conspiracy side.…

    Jfk Assassination

    In 1976, the US Senate ordered a fresh inquiry into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was murdered in 1963 during a motorcade in Dallas, Texas while campaigning for re-election. People who had been involved in the original Warren Commission investigations were asked to make fresh statements. The FBI and the CIA were persuaded to release more of their documents on Oswald. New lines of inquiry were opened and individuals who had not previously given evidence were persuaded to come forward. Most important of all, pieces of evidence such as photos and sound recordings were subjected to scientific analysis using the most up-to-date methods and equipment. The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) completed their investigation in 1979 and they finally came to a discrete verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at Kennedy, one of which killed the president. A fourth shot was fired from the grassy knoll, which was contradictory to the statement printed by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier. They concluded that John Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy.…
