Television And Commercialism
1536 Words - 6 Pages.... that—images which keep the viewer on a superficial level. For instance,
in the program Sailor Moon, little girls are kept on a level of clothes and
being cute for boys. This is a very unrealistic outlook and short circuits any
thoughts of importance in their lives. Barbie, the Mattel doll, also portrays a
false image. With her petite, fragile figure, large bust, tiny waist, long legs,
big eyes, and vast career ranging from a lifeguard to a doctor, Barbie wins the
hearts of many innocent little girls who become subjected to her unrealistic
image.
Most often in television there is no depth beyond the surface, what you
see is what you get. This is very prominent in chi ....

Creative Writing Of Hamlet
538 Words - 2 Pages.... told me to keep things in order
when he was away. I guess I screwed up. I remember one incident in particular.
I was must have been eight years old at the time. Dad was going to
fight in Norway. We had a talk before he left. We sat down in the courtyard.
It was a beautiful day and dad's presence was like another sun. He seemed to
glow as he spoke to me. He said, "Hammy, I will be away for a while. I want
you to watch mommy, and guard our fortress from invaders. Take this. It will
help you be strong." He gave me a small gold dagger. He left that afternoon
and I knew he wouldn't be back for a long time.
Things carried on as usual. I ran around the castle pla ....

Death Of A Salesman - Willy's Escape
1028 Words - 4 Pages.... The first time Willy is seen lapsing off into the past is when he
encounters Biff after arriving home. The conversation between Willy and
Linda reflects Willy's disappointment in Biff and what he has become,
which is, for the most part, a bum. After failing to deal adequately with
his feelings, he escapes into a time when things were better for his
family. It is not uncommon for one to think of better times at low points
in their life in order to cheer themselves up so that they are able to
deal with the problems they encounter, but Willy Lowman takes it one step
further. His refusal to accept reality is so strong that in his mind he is
transported back in time to relive ....

Antigone And Ismene
610 Words - 3 Pages.... tragic news with Ismene. From her first response, "No, I have heard
nothing"(344). Ismene reveals her passivity and helplessness in the light of
Creon's decree. Thus, from the start, Ismene is characterized as traditionally
"feminine", a helpless woman that pays no mind to political affairs. Doubting
the wisdom of her sisters plan to break the law and bury Polyneices, Ismene
argues:
We who are women should not contend with men;
we who are weak are ruled by the stronger, so that
we must obey....(346)
Once again Ismene's words clearly state her weak, feminine character and
helplessness within her own dimensions. Antigone, not happy with her sisters

Dramatic Irony In Romeo And Juliet
712 Words - 3 Pages.... This is ironic because the audience knows that the maskers, Romeo and his friends, have been noticed, but they do not. Tybalt letting them be, as told by Capulet, lets the two lovers fall in love instantly, which later leads up to the death of the lovers because there would have never been a catastrophe, if the lovers never met.
Like in the first example, the dramatic irony in Act II, scene ii also involves the two lovers. While standing outside of Juliet’s window, without her knowing, Romeo overhears her. He overhears her say, “O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?/ Deny thy father and refuse thy name!/ Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,/ And I’ll no longe ....
