.... attack and force them into a retreat. It is on June 6, 1944 - D-Day - that Saving Private Ryan begins.... Every lost life is a tragedy, especially for those who have shared parts of their lives with the deceased. Within the short space of a week the Ryan family has suffered an insurmountable loss. Three of the family's four sons have been killed on the battle fields of the world - Sean Ryan at "Omaha Beach" Normandy, Peter Ryan at "Utah Beach" Normandy, and "Daniel Ryan" in New Guinea.

.... in such a society, was superstitious, is presented with Cawdor's title, he believes that the other prediction, namely his kingship, must come true. Banquo notes the danger inherent in believing (and subsequently acting on) the witches' predictions; he says, "Were such things here as we do speak about?/Or have we eaten on the insane root/That takes the reason prisoner?" Act I, scene 3, ll.83-85. MacBeth is quite overwhelmed when he hears that he is now the Thane of Cawdor. However, almost immediately, he starts thinking about how to bring about his rule as king. "{Aside} Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial t ....

.... (1.1. 80), because he has won his glory through his merits in war. Thus, Shakespeare has set Hal and Hotspur in opposition: Hal, the prodigal prince, versus Hotspur, the proper prince. Hal understands that he has been branded with the label, "truant to chivalry,"(5.1. 95) and as the heir to the throne, he realizes that it is imperative that he redeem himself not only for himself, but also for his father and his people because life will not always be a holiday , for "If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would be as tedious as work" (1.2. 211- 212). However Hal needs some type of strength to make his realization come true. Luckily Hal's father, the King ....

.... with the welfare of his citizens and the state. It was that concern that caused his ultimate downfall…a life of misery after the death of his wife and son. Both of these characters experienced an epiphany, a point in their lives when they realized that things have changed for the worse. They both had hubris, and both suffered for it. Hence, my confusion. Can there be more than one hero in a Greek tragedy, or is there something that I am missing. A comparison of these two characters, in an attempt to clarify this perplexing idea has only caused a heightening to my bewilderment. Both were noble characters. , a princess and Creon, the King. Both had strong ideals a ....

.... any way. There were a few things I enjoyed (when I knew what was going on) but most of the time I just had to pinch myself to keep from falling asleep. The performers looked good but the way I see it is anyone who does not have a good meaning of Mexican history is lost. I mean there were elementary schools there, do you think they knew what was going on? All the performances consisted of 1: Azteca - Ceremony of the lighting of fire, 2: Ladanza De Los Queteales- dedicated to multicolor bird named Quetzal, 3: Festompanortena- series of dances brought by French and Spaniards, 4: Yucaton- dances of Mayan culture, Ana Murry a.k.a. "The dances of Ribbons." 5: Danzas Chiapan ....

.... movie was quite simple with three characters, the mom, the dad, and the baby. The Dad would feed the baby and the mom would wipe her chin. After the baby takes a few spoonfuls of her cereal, the movie ends. This first movie was received with an enthusiastic round of applause. This pioneered the movie business. From this humble beginning came movies with actual plots. Of course, they got a bit longer than this first minute and half. The movie business flourished in the twenties, but when the Great Depression came along the it suffered greatly. As the economy began to pick up, so did the movie business. New genres like horror came on the scene in the early thirties. The f ....

.... Biff and Happy. Rather than having played a positive role model for his sons Willy Loman, established a poor standard of morality. For example, when Biff was in high school he was the star of the football team. One afternoon he stole a football from the locker room. When Willy became cognizant of Biff's actions, Wily did not punish Biff. Instead, he told Biff that the coach was likely to congratulate Biff for his show of initiative (29, 30). Similarly, at another point in the play Biff and Happy stole lumber from a nearby construction site. Instead of teaching the boys a lesson in ethics Willy was proud of his sons. In fact, he bragged about the amount of construct ....

.... kingship was an act that took place fifteen years and four of his children ago. Was it really Sophocles' intention that we regard Oedipus as a "good" man? Oedipus accuses Tiresias and Creon, two innocent men, of conspiring to dethrone him and take over the country. Would a "good" man do this, lacking any evidence but his own suspicions? Would a "good" man wish his own brother-in-law dead when no one could even testify to his guilt? Would a "good" man threaten a timid shepherd with pain and death merely because he was hesitant to reveal the harsh realities of Oedipus' life? Oedipus' tale of meeting Laius is another troubling point. In Colonus he states in plain terms ....
