This is something new that I'm going to try out. It was suggested to me that I should tie each book I "review"in with the modern world or with a quote. i thought I would start with The Other Boleyn Girl. In the book we see how the rule of King Henry the Eigth is law of the land. But is this really a good thing? When Henry's temper flares, heads roll. Even when things are terrible everyone must pretend to be happy and joyful and support him all thh way. There is no one to stand up to the king because there is only the king. To stand against him is to stand against the church and england.
Though there have been many great rulers through out history are they really better then democracy? Is it better to have one man or woman ruling or to spread power? In today's society there is freedom for everyone. Woman choose who they marry, people are allowed to dislike the president and not get shot, and of course no one gets tried for treason because they voice an opion that is differnt than everyone elses. So what do you think? Is the concept of a king or queen really bad? Or am I totally wrong about the whole thing? Let me know what you think
