Violence On Television
1197 Words - 5 Pages.... TV watcher, the Addict. As his name implies, this person's
life revolves around watching television. TV is like a drug to him, and he
cannot get enough of it. He epitomizes the couch potato and the “boob” in boob
tube, and can often be described as intellectually empty, especially while he is
watching TV. The Addict lives hand to mouth from the potato chip bag. He is
lazy and will often go for hours without moving from the television.
If the Addict is not glued in front of the TV, he is most likely to be
found paging through his latest issue of TV guide, carefully selecting the shows
which he will watch that week and marking them off with a highlighter. On ....

Macbeth Is A Tragic Hero
464 Words - 2 Pages.... and is in a keen state of mind before he hears the witches'
prophecy. Macbeth does not begin to become evil until he is convinced to act on
the prophecy by Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is the evil one who poisons
Macbeth's mind; although, she is only encouraging her husband to do what she
feels is in his best interest.
The hero's downfall is his own fault, the result of his own free choice,
not the result of an accident or fate. An accident and/or fate may be a
contributing factor in the hero's downfall, but are not alone responsible.
Macbeth's downfall is entirely his fault. He chose to listen to the witches'
prophecy. Banquo heard the same prophecy, but chose not to all ....

Romeo + Juliet: An E Ticket Ride
745 Words - 3 Pages.... techniques and tricks which make understanding Shakespeare fun,
interesting, fresh and easy.
Visually dynamic, and edited with a sense of urgency, most movie-goers will
get caught up in the story and forget that they are listening to the Bard. It
is Shakespeare's words and text, however, the sights and sounds are as clearly,
possibly overshadowing, telling the same parallel story. One could say that
there are visually emotional subtitles throughout the movie directing the
audience to understand and engage in the most famous love story in an entirely
new way. One can argue that this version of Romeo and Juliet would be
understood even without spoken words. T ....

Fate In King Lear
2068 Words - 8 Pages.... spins humans downward even as it lifts, the abundance of natural
cycles which are seen as controlling experience, even perhaps the movement
of play itself from order to chaos to restoration of order to division
again.
Throughout the text, the movements of celestial bodies are used to
account for human action and misfortune. Just as the stars in their
courses are fixed in the skies, so do the characters view their lives as
caught in a pattern they have no power to change. Lear sets the play in
motion in banishing Cordelia when he swears "by all the operation of the
orbs from whom we exist and cease to be" that his decision "shall not be
revoked". How like the ....

1351 Words - 5 Pages.... husband Stanley for a while. Here, the
illusions are revealed and the battle between the illusions and the
characters will begin. What initially leads to her illusions is love.
When she was young, "sixteen, I made the discovery - love. All at once and
much, much too completely" (1368). She met Allan Grey, the perfect man -
he had "a nervousness, a softness and tenderness which wasn't like a man's,
although he wasn't the least bit effeminate" (1368).
However, as we are eventually are shown, this illusion wouldn't
last forever. The young couple got married and, to Blanche, were falling
more and more in love, when one day "coming into a room that I thought was
empty" ( ....

"Goin’ To Chicago."
569 Words - 3 Pages.... seeds, tools, food, and other necessary items. After the season was over, they would get their share of earnings. Many sharecroppers discovered that they owed the landlord money. They would falling deeper into debt, and they had to pledge the next year’s crop as payment.
Sharecropping soon became a thing of the past. Mechanical cotton pickers were invented, which worried sharecroppers. These machines could greatly do more work than by hand, and would be cheaper than to pay field hands to work for them. So the sharecropping was obsolete, and African Americans were driven out of their jobs and even homes.
This lead to the migration of African Americans. It was hard ....

The James Bond Phenomenon
668 Words - 3 Pages.... talking mannequin. They have all gone
through different types of adventures, well ok they were all action/spy problems
but they were all different, in some ways anyway. Hey if they suck so much why
can't you stop watching them? Why have they made so many of them? eh? thats what
I thought. I had my doubts about watching all these James Bond movies, but they
were all good. Sean Connery Played a nice cool, slick James Bond, well so did
the others but he was better at it because he naturally is cool and slick.
Pierce Bronsman played also as a cool, slick James Bond, he really looked like
he was a spy, he kept his cool, I really liked that scene in Golden Eye when he
is at the tan ....

A Doll's House: Theme Of Emancipation Of A Woman
781 Words - 3 Pages.... her
submissiveness to Torvald. After he teaches her the dance, he proclaims "When I
saw you turn and sway in the tarantella--my blood was pounding till I couldn't
stand it" showing how he is more interested in Nora physically than emotionally.
When Nora responds by saying "Go away, Torvald! Leave me alone. I don't want
all this", Torvald asks "Aren't I your husband?". By saying this, he is
implying that one of Nora's duties as his wife is to physically pleasure him at
his command. Torvald also does not trust Nora with money, which exemplifies
Torvald's treating Nora as a child. On the rare occasion when Torvald gives
Nora some money, he is concerned that she will waste ....
