“A Nation Cannot Exist Without a National Institute” Ireland had a plethora of existing literature before its nationalist movement, however, the majority of their literature was centered on British prejudiced. A unified movement to create a uniquely Irish dramatic form had not yet been attempted. William Butler Yeats saw this as his opportunity to develop his paragon of Irish theatre that could unify Ireland through literature.

Augusta Health recommends a unique approach on receiving medical attention. At one time or another, many individuals have said this phrase, “I think I’m sick.” The very utter of the word “sick” creates an unpleasant sentiment altogether. Perhaps it has to do with the countless symptoms such as coughing, sneezing and runny nose that produces the fear of becoming ill, and having to visit a hospital is unsettling to many. In any case, emergency room waits are long and exhausting. Also, seeing…
