In 1587, when a letter said to have been written by Mary was intercepted - with evidence that she wanted to overthrow her cousin - Elizabeth decided to end her ceaseless worry about whether she was going to be overthrown or not, and ordered Mary’s execution.

Instead, she was imprisoned by her cousin in a variety of castles, where Elizabeth allowed her to live close to various noblemen (loyal to Elizabeth) so they could keep an eye on her. So Mary was sent back to Scotland to assume her place as the country’s monarch.īut after three years in Scotland, Mary was forced to abdicate and flee across the border to seek refuge in England - where she expected Queen Elizabeth to welcome her. At 18, Mary was briefly queen of both Scotland and France when her husband ascended the throne.īut her reign was short-lived as her husband died of an ear infection just a year after their marriage. She was raised in the French court and, at the age of 16, she married the French dauphin, who became King Francis II of France in 1559. When she was only six days old, Mary ascended to the Scottish throne in 1542 when her father, King James V, died.

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.Įach body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures only Librarians can read. The larger culture misunderstands the causes of poverty, Shipler argues, “and is therefore uncertain about the solutions,” though the solutions are there: in a surprising moment, a Wal-Mart manager in rural New England reveals that the store could easily afford to pay its employees two dollars an hour more. They are sometimes the victims of addiction, ignorance, and bad choices in most instances, however, the working poor are single mothers and single wage-earners with several children and few options. These American poor-natives and immigrants alike-“suffer in good times and bad,” writes Shipler. Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Shipler ( A Country of Strangers, 1997) reveals that this may be illusory: for many of the men and women he portrays here, any property of worth has been mortgaged and remortgaged, and when it is sold, often in a hurry and for less than it’s worth, any proceeds go to paying down the mountains of debt that the poor accumulate. In The Mystery of Capital (2000), economist Hernando de Soto wondered why the Third World’s poor lack the fungible assets that their American counterparts hold-assets that keep them from being, well, so poor. Ushimitsu once again laughed but this time, tears were flowing from his sad eyes. Then Akashi's words from back then flash through him, "You were also my light.". He is less than a fool to remove himself from Akashi's history. He was a fool to forget when his feelings started blooming. Ushimitsu remembered that he saved Akashi from an oni then asked permission, "May I fall in love with you?". Ushimitsu slowly calmed down with his eyes blank and dead.Īkashi died from the start of the trash game. Just like last time with Kamimaro, but he doesn't know that. Shun glared at him with all his might while vowing to drag Ushimitsu to his death. Shun, Amaya, Akimoto, Megu, Hanna, Tasuku, Lily, Aoyama, Rui, Mert, Shimura, Alf E, and Male-Female. Now, Ushimitsu sat where Kamimaro should be. As long as he lived, Ushimitsu would've been complete. It doesn't matter if he forgot Ushimitsu. just maybe, Akashi would've survived with the last bit of his memory. Why was is that only he survived? He should've moved his body. A destructive fool who got nothing left to care for since Shun died. If he's gone, then he might end up like Amaya. Ushimitsu watched every single one he'd met die once again but he didn't care.
