Ms. Hanson, first I want to say I really enjoyed taking your class. The first month of it, after that it was on like a pot of neck bones.lol In all seriousness the first essay was easy for me. I lived that essay, so it very easy to write about. The blogging, reading and writing after that was so challenging that I did not think I could go on. In life some things do not come easy. The pressure from this class birthed a more stronger and resilient individual. Please do your next class a huge favor and pick the same book. I enjoyed it .
Thank again
Thank again

Part 3(Chapters 1-5)
Chp.1 Anne is thrust back in to the 21th century only to find out she had had a aneurysm in her brain. She is in and out of consciousness while on her way to the hospital, from Hever Castle. Poor Anne as it seems one journey has ended, another one is just beginning, a her very long and difficult one. After her surgery, Anne finds out that she has another aneurysm much deeper in her brain; that could not be repaired surgically. The possibility of her dying from this strong.
Chp.2Anne depressed from the bad news from doctor, prepares to leave the hospital. Her good friend Kate comes to help her. Then we get down to the nitty-gritty when Daniel comes on the scene. This whole chapter is about their affair. She could have wrote a separate book about being the other woman. Daniel is her present day Anne, what Henry is to 16th century Anne Boleyn. When she says, "Our primitive biology was mixing a truly intoxicating elixir of lust and passion that eventually drove us into each other's arms," I knew she had it bad then.
Chap3.We find out that Anne lost both parents and her older sibling in a tragic automobile accident. Anne had definitely had her share of misfortune prior to being thrust in to Anne Boleyn's world, a world in which she dearly missed. It is her birthday, so she asked Daniel to go to Runnymede for a romantic picnic and to visit the Ankerwycke tree. There she tells Daniel about the strain their relationship has put on her. She also tells him about her journey I to Anne's world.
Chp4, Anne returns to Hever Castle for a tour and spends the day there, Looking at all the pictures, books, and rooms she was thought of how she had seen these very items in the 16th century. I thought it a little weird that she when to Thomas Boleyn's tomb and mourned as if it were her real father's grave site.
Chp.5
Anne is still desperately seeking Daniel. She has beat the odds and is still alive and doing well. She was even able to return to work. Daniel's daughter got meningitis, but she survived. Daniel blames their affair for her illness and decides to take a break. It was in that same year that it had been 500 years since Henry was proclaimed Henry the Eighth. England was celebrating the occasion, so Anne decided to join in on the celebrations. While this is going on she receives text from Daniel, that he is done with his wife and wants her, at the same time she is about to reenter Anne Boleyn's world.

Chapter 19....We find Anne lavishing in her elevated status, thanks to the King of course. As Anne predicted in the previous chapter, the by William Tyndale had been taken. This provides the opportunity for Anne to Make history, later on down the road. She also has the Cardinal in the cross-hairs of her scope ready to plot his demise too.With a little charm and sexual healing the King, with much jubilation, promises to retrieve the book for Ann.
Chp20 The book is retrieved by the King, after reading it, the King is elated. Anne and her father "Pimping" Thomas, deliberate over the Kings response and know that things are about to take and even bigger turn in there favor.These implications would rake havoc in the Roman Catholic Church in England. Anne has got to know the very well now, learning some his strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps her canniness comes full circle when she questions Cardinal Wolsey's commitment to the King. During all this trickery, Dr. Foxe has returned with news that the Poe has give the go head for the annulment.

Chapter 4-8....Chp.4 
Hever Castle
Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. In chapter 4 the King makes says his goodbyes to Anne and her family, and then heads to London see if there has been any progress with his annulment. Anne decided to send the King a gift as a token of her love and commitment. Judging buy the size of the castle I do not think it set her father back much. I wish there were some letters from Anne to the King hidden somewhere in the Vatican; considering the fact that they have some to her from the King.
Chp.5 I really felt bad for Thomas Wyatt, but I am sure it is pretty hard to compete with a King; this guy was head over heels for Anne. The poem he wrote about Anne was beautiful. I wonder if his marriage problems had anything to do with Anne. The friendship they had was close and intimate, in a platonic way of course.
Chp.6 George shows up with a letter from Henry intended for Anne. The author of this book sure doe s go in to detail when describing facial features. The King's letter sounds like 16th century game, in my opinion, but whatever works I guess. The rumors are starting to circulate, abut Anne and the King, at the Palace of Beaulieu.
Chp 7. I can see why the King wanted Anne to still service the Queen, but I could not see the Queen wanting to have anything to do with Anne. When Anne's father tried to console her, he sounded more like a pimp consoling his whore, only without the violence. Status and power were the only thing on his mind, in regards to this union. Henry's gifts and promises to annul his marriage swiftly seem to appease Anne somewhat. the heated exchange between Anne and Thomas Howard was the climax for me in this chapter.
