Gerard Manley Hopkins
.... of poetry and everyone will be able to appreciate his work.
Most of Hopkins’ work had to do with religion. Although it sounds like his work should have been praised because it dealt with religion, it was rejected because it was about things that went against the church. For instance one of his pieces was about a group of nuns that were crossing a bridge while it was collapsing(Fairwhether p.84). This was a very big mistake for Hopkins because this caused there to be no audience for his work. Alth .....

Gladiatorial Contest In Rome
.... To little effect the gladiatorial games continued until the early fifth century A.D. and wild-beast killings went on until the sixth century.
Evidence suggests that the contest was part of the Roman funeral process. A Christian critic named Tertullian at the end of the second century wrote, “Once upon a time, men believed that the souls of the dead were propitiated by human blood, and so at the funerals they sacrificed prisoners of war of slaves of poor quality bought for the purpose.”
